QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on Michigan:
“Michigan is always a special place to race for us since it is in (team owner) Jack (Roush) and Ford’s backyard. It really gives you some extra motivation to go out there and get the job done. I’m confident that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) will give me a solid AdvoCare Ford that will let us get up front and make some noise come Sunday afternoon.”
