From the Driver’s Seat:

Trevor Bayne: “I’m looking forward to getting back to the race track this weekend and back behind the wheel of the No. 18 Toyota GR Supra. You never know what you are going to get at Talladega, but it’s always a fun racetrack, and one I really enjoy going to. We have had some good meetings this week and I think JGR has a good gameplan heading into this weekend. I’m really thankful for this opportunity and I’m looking forward to making the most of it on Saturday.”
