QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Talladega:
“This weekend will be crazy at Talladega. With it being a Chase cutoff race lots of guys will be doing all they can to be up front. I’m sure there will be plenty of three and four-wide racing. Hopefully we can avoid all of the chaos with this AdvoCare Ford and get a win for everyone here at Roush Fenway Racing.”
