QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Dover:
“I’m ready for Dover this weekend. We finished second here in the spring and I know that our No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Mustang will have that same kind of speed this time around. Plus, Dover is a fun track to race on that really pushes you from the start. I know that Chad (Norris) and my team will give me everything I need this weekend and hopefully we’ll be able to be one spot better and celebrate in Victory Lane on Saturday.”
Crew Chief Chad Norris on Dover:
“We’ve been ready to get back to Dover ever since we ran second here back in the May. Dover has been a really strong track for this No. 6 AdvoCare team in the past and I’m confident that we will be able to improve upon that this time around and hopefully end up with that trophy once that checkered flag falls.”
