Talladega Pre-Race Notes


Trevor Bayne will be making his 10th career start at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend when the Sprint Cup Series visits the 2.66 mile superspeedway in Talladega, AL.  Bayne is coming off a 18th place finish at Kansas in the No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Fusion after starting 19th.  Bayne finished 9th in the last restrictor plate race in July at Daytona International Speedway.  Earlier this season, Bayne was involved in a huge crash at Talladega after making contact with Kurt Busch and Paul Menard that took him out of the race in the Geico 500.
Quoting Trevor Bayne:
"This weekend will be crazy at Talladega.  With it being a Chase cutoff race lots of guys will be doing all they can to be up front.  I'm sure there will be plenty of three and four wide racing.  Hopefully we can avoid all of the chaos with this AdvoCare Ford and get a win for everyone here at Roush Fenway Racing."
