QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Phoenix:
“Phoenix is a really fun race track. It’s a mile track that races more like a short-track. I’m looking forward to getting there this weekend with our AdvoCare Ford. We have made a lot of gains so far in 2016 and I’m confident that we can continue that upward momentum this weekend.”
