Bayne makes his second career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend. Bayne started from the 19th position in his first start at the famed short track in March of 2011 and finished 34th.
In 12 starts at Bristol in the XFINITY Series, Bayne has earned one pole position and four top-10 finishes. Bayne recorded his best finish of sixth twice at the .533-mile oval, both in Aug. 2010 and Aug. 2013.

Recapping Texas
Bayne began the Saturday night main event at Texas Motor Speedway from the 23rd position and was able to race inside the top 20 throughout the evening, ultimately bringing the AdvoCare Ford home with an 18th-place finish. With the result, Bayne improves to 23rd in the championship standings.
