QUOTES
Trevor Bayne on racing at Chicago: “The last few weeks have been pretty rough on our Roush Fenway team. I am trying to wrap my brain around the fact that we have run very well, led laps and contended for wins, but don’t have the finishes to show for it. We just have to show some perseverance and determination to get through this rough time and revel in the fact that our last two finishes are not indicative of our effort. With that being said, I feel like we are going to run well at Chicago. I am pulling double duty this weekend, so the pressure will be on to run well, but as long as I believe in myself and our team everything will work out the way it should.”
Crew chief Chad Norris on racing at Chicago: “It has been tough the last few weeks. The effort has been there, we just don’t have much to show for it. I am continuously telling our guys not to get down. We have been a major player in the last few races and we know we can run with the best. As Trevor and I continue to communicate better our finishes will get better. It is only a matter of time at this point. Chicago will be a test for us because we have only worked together on one other mile and a half track and that’s Atlanta, which is far different than Chicago. I am confident we can pull together and run well this weekend.”
