TREVOR BAYNE – No. 21 Good Sam/Camping World Ford Fusion – “I’m sweating. I was so nervous going out there. I was sweating before I got in the car. I felt like we did well getting to pit road. That’s what I was the most nervous about was making sure I got there quick, but then speed and we smoked them a little bit, but we were slowed down enough."
