Texas Pre-Race Notes


This weekend will be Trevor Bayne's 11th trip to Texas Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this weekend.  Bayne made his Sprint Cup Series debut at the track in 2010 with the Wood Brothers Racing team and finished 17th, which has been his career best finish at the venue three times.  Bayne looks to get his No. 6 AdvoCare Ford back in contention this weekend with the series returning to another 1.5 mile track.  He is coming off a miserable run at Martinsville where he finished 31st, five laps down to the race leaders at the half-mile paper-clip oval.
Quoting Trevor Bayne:
''Texas has always been a special track for me, this is where I made my first Cup start and where I got my first Xfinity Series win.  I always love racing here and am looking forward to this weekend.  It's in AdvoCare's backyard and hopefully we can give them a great show with our AdvoCare Ford Fusion.''
