On the Car
AdvoCare is currently in its fourth season as a primary partner on the No. 6 in the MENCS for Roush Fenway Racing. They spent one year as the primary sponsor on the No. 6 in the Xfinity Series prior to making the move with Trevor Bayne and the No. 6 to the MENCS.
Recapping Talladega
Bayne was collected in an early multi-car accident at Talladega last Sunday, getting clipped from behind in his AdvoCare Ford Fusion to finish 38th.
QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Dover:
“Dover is a fast but challenging track. It’s a place where we carry a load of speed through the corners and it can get dicey at times. We’re looking forward to getting there and hopefully having a strong run in our AdvoCare Ford Fusion.”
