Recapping Atlanta
· Bayne took the green flag Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway from the seventh position and battled a loose race car for much of the 195-Lap event, ultimately scoring a 12th-place finish. With the result, Bayne remains sixth in the NNS championship standings and trails leader Chase Elliott by 71 points.
QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Richmond:
“Richmond is an awesome track to race on. It’s always action-packed. I’m excited to get there this weekend. It’s a similar track to Iowa, where we finished third last month. So I’m hopeful that we’ll have that same kind of speed in Richmond this weekend with the No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Mustang and that we’ll be celebrating in Victory Lane come night’s end Friday.”
