BAYNE QUOTE:  "I felt like I was in a superspeedway race for a second.  There were cars everywhere.  You just see them piling up.  Brett Griffin (spotter) came over the radio and said, 'Check up. Check up.'  So I slowed down and people behind me I guess couldn't see it all happening because we had just pitted and we had been moved to the back so they were trying to dig up through there and they got into us and pushed us right into it.  We had been working on this thing hard all day trying to get it dialed in.  It was awesome in practice and for some reason, it just had a different attitude to start the race.  We had been working on it and came in to try to short pit to get our fresh tires for the end and get some track position because it's so important and then we just got pushed into that mess.  Not much you can do about it."
