QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Indianapolis:
“Racing at Indy is always a special feeling. There is so much history at this track and it really is pretty cool to get to compete here. I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen this weekend. When we raced here last year we had a different rules package than what we have this time so it’ll definitely be interesting. Hopefully our AdvoCare Ford will be up there come race end and we can gain some points toward the Chase.”
