QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on Racing at Darlington:
“We’re looking forward to Darlington. I’ve only raced there one time in 2010, so it’s one of the least experienced tracks for me. But I love that style of racing, and I love racing near the top of a race track. We were good there in 2010 while I was running in the top-10 and I know the No.6 team has been really good there, so I can’t wait to get there and get rolling.”
