Bayne, 20, posted the second-fastest lap in Nationwide Series practice, behind Kyle Busch.
"I just cant wait to get back in the race car. That's where I feel the most comfortable," said Bayne, before his world came crashing back to reality,
On the first lap in his first Cup practice session, Bayne's tires locked. He struck the wall in Turn 4, demolishing the right side of his Wood Brothers Ford and forcing him to a backup car.
"On pit road I told them the brakes felt like they weren't working right," Bayne said. "I paced myself getting into the corner. … As soon as I let off the gas, I said, 'I'm crashing.' I knew it wasn't going to slow down and it happened."
