QUOTE WORTHY

Bayne on Watkins Glen:

“I’m really looking forward to doing double-duty this weekend driving both the AdvoCare Mustang on Saturday and the AdvoCare Fusion on Sunday. I’ll definitely need my Rehydrate and Spark to keep me going both days. Watkins Glen will be very fast with the repave this weekend and running the XFINITY race on Saturday will be extremely helpful in getting us more laps and help us toward our ultimate goal of gaining the most points as possible toward the Chase on Sunday."
