ADVANCE NOTES
Bayne at Las Vegas
Trevor Bayne will make his sixth career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend. In five previous starts at the 1.5-mile oval, Bayne has recorded one top-10 finish, a ninth-place result in 2012.
Bayne’s top-10 effort at Las Vegas came in the March 11, 2012 event after starting from the 25th position.
According to NASCAR’s Loop Data Statistics, Bayne ranks 11th in positions gained in the final 10 percent of a race.
Bayne previously raced at Las Vegas in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, making five starts and recording three top-fives, five top-10s and has an average finish of 5.4. Bayne finished in the top 10 in every start he made at the 1.5-mile oval.
Recapping Atlanta
Bayne took the green flag from the third position on Sunday afternoon at Atlanta Motor Speedway after advancing to the third round of qualifying on Friday. A tight handling condition persisted throughout much of the day, ultimately relegating Bayne to a 22nd-place finish.
Matt Puccia at Las Vegas
Puccia will call his fifth NSCS race at Las Vegas on Sunday. Puccia’s best finish is third with Roush Fenway teammate Greg Biffle in the 2012 event at the 1.5-mile oval.
QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Las Vegas:
“Las Vegas has always been a pretty fun track to race on. Whether it was back in the XFINITY Series or in the Cup Series, I’ve really liked racing here. Hopefully our AdvoCare Ford will have the same speed in it we did in Atlanta and that we can get a really solid run for everyone at AdvoCare and back at the shop.”
