After what appeared to be a problem with the left front break in the number 21 Wood Brothers car, Trevor Bayne smacked the turn 3 wall on his first lap of opening Sprint Cup Series practice.
"On pit road, I told them the brakes felt like they weren't working right," he said. "I paced myself getting into the corner and the brakes just never worked. Even down the backstretch, I was playing with them, trying to get them dialed in, but I got off into the corner and they just never worked, never slowed down.
"When I went into the corner, as soon as I let off the gas I knew it was crashing, because I just wasn't going to slow down."
The team will go to a backup car.
Thanks to Jeff Gluck for the quotes.
