Trevor Bayne and crew chief Bob Osborne worked together for the third time this season and struggled to come away with a solid finish at Bayne's best track on the circuit. The team fought an ill-handling race car all afternoon and came away with a 28th place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Early in the race it appeared that Bayne would make progress. The more than they run the more of a four wheel slide the 6 got, he reported to Osborne that he never felt the side skirts hit. Bob Osborne decided to take a shim out of the front end to help with the handling.
From that point on the team struggled to find any handle as the track began to get more rubber build up. Bayne went down a lap by the 60th circuit around the 1.5 mile oval, he reported of being
extremely in the tight center off behind someone else. A caution soon fell for debris, and the team would not be in contention for the lucky dog. The team came in and took four tires, but found themselves 2 laps down to the race leaders.
The struggle continued throughout the race and Bayne could only make his way up to 28th by the time the checkered flag fell. He leaves Vegas p24 in the driver standings and the No. 6 is p27 in owners points going to Phoenix next weekend as the points will be now go off 2015 standings. Rumors going around are that Roush Fenway will debut a new chassis at Texas Motor Speedway in a few weeks.
