TREVOR BAYNE QUOTE:

You have never raced at Milwaukee but what are you expectation?
“I have never raced at Milwaukee but I have been on several tracks like Milwaukee. I know that the tires are going to wear out quick. I also have to expect that the car is going to handle different in the race then in practice since practice is during the day and we race at night. I have been able to gain some confidence the last couple of weeks so I am looking forward to this weekend at Milwaukee.”

JERRY BAXTER QUOTE:

What are your thoughts about this weekend’s race at the one-mile oval?
“We are bringing a Toyota that was solid at Phoenix for Michael (Waltrip). I also think Trevor has gained a lot of confidence the last couple of weeks. I think we have a good chance of finishing in the top 10 this weekend at Milwaukee.”
