Trevor Bayne, No. 16 Fastenal/Honoring Our Heroes Ford
“It is pretty stupid really because we had a fast car all day just like last week and we had a terrible pit stop put us back in the field where we shouldn’t be. I catch the 33 and the 2, three-tenths of a lap I run them down on the straight away. The 33 let the 2 go and then pulled down and started blocking me, I guess because the 2 is running for a championship or whatever but the 33 was blocking me and I was way faster and trying to race him clean. He catches the 38, who must have been mad at him; I don’t know what was going on. The 38 tried to wreck him and he stopped in front of me and crushed our hood. Then he chopped me again off the corner and checked up and it got him sideways and he just wrecked us. I don’t understand what the deal is or why he would race like that. Harvick is normally a way better racer than that. It is just frustrating when people do stuff like that and it is intentional. He let the 2 car go and intentionally blocked us to keep me from passing them both. It is frustrating when we had that good of a car and had that good of a day.”
DO YOU HAVE A HISTORY WITH HIM? “No, not at all. He has been a big help to me. Harvick has been great for me and that is why I don’t understand what went on tonight and why that had to happen.”
ARE YOU AWARE HARVICK AND LEFFLER HAD AN INCIDENT EARLIER? “Yeah, my spotter told me to watch out for those guys because they would be wrecking each other. I am more frustrated by the fact that he was blocking us. He can’t help what the 38 does but I hate that we got collected in it and then he wrecked us just intentionally down the back stretch after coming up in front of us and we got him sideways and he decided to turn left. Pretty frustrating.”
WILL YOU ASK HIM ABOUT IT? “Yeah, I will talk to him about it.”
DO YOU THINK HE WAS BLOCKING FOR SADLER? “Yeah, that is exactly what it is. He wants the 2 to win a championship but the 6 car is going to wear him out anyway hopefully. It is frustrating when people race like that when I am not even in points contention. I am out there just racing trying to win.”
