Phoenix Pre-Race Notes


After blowing a tire last weekend at Texas and finishing 39th, Trevor Bayne is coming to Phoenix International Raceway to make his third career start at the low-banked tri-oval venue in Avondale, Arizona.  His 28th place effort earlier this year at the track is his best of the two efforts.  Bayne competed in 10 NASCAR Xfinity Series events at the track with one top-five finish and six top-ten finishes.  Bayne's crew chief Bob Osborne has won at Phoenix once in his career, this race during the 2010 season.
Quoting Trevor Bayne:
"Phoenix is a fun track to race on.  Hopefully we can have a solid run there this weekend with this AdvoCare team and for everyone back at the shop.  We're all ready to go for our last west coast race of the season and look to finish on a strong note."
