QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on Michigan:
“I’m really looking forward to getting back to Michigan this weekend. It’s always special to race up here in (team owner) Jack (Roush) and Ford’s backyard. It definitely gives you some extra motivation to get all you can out of the car. I’m confident that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) will give me a solid AdvoCare Ford that will let us make some moves and hopefully contend for the win come race end.”
