Ok... What is with all the hype about bayne? Jamie McMurray won his first cup race on his second try as well... AT A NON-PLATE TRACK. YOU CAN'T JUDGE A DRIVER SOLEY BASED ON PERFORMANCE AT A PLATE TRACK. Yeah, I do know he's the youngest 500 winner, but the 500 is easy compared to Darlington or any other non-plate track. He's a flash in the pan; does an "amazing" victory and then can't do shit for the rest of his career.
@UNpilot15 No one predicted Trevor Bayne winning this race. Bayne drove smart, drafted the right people, and was in the right place at the right time. And with a team that can't afford running the whole year, this is a big win for them.
Also, Bayne is still learning in the Cup Series. You can't expect him to finish in the Top 10 EVERY week after winning the 500.
@UNpilot15 if winning the daytona is so easy, how come series champions like tony stewart or the labonte brothers haven't done it? more importantly, why havent u done it?
@UNpilot15 once again u dont really have the right to say that unless youve raced at both. and even then, its just one person's opinion not a fact. theres been plenty of people to win at darlington and not at daytona. its not fair to demean his win saying that it was an easier track. its different for all of the drivers. think more carefully next time
@jk59beads He's a legend just because he won the 500? Remember Derrike Cope? He won the Daytona 500 and the Budweiser 500 in 1990. Those were his only two victories since his career start in '82 to today. So does winning a Daytona 500 automatically make them the best driver in NASCAR or, as you say, a "legend"? No! And as I stated, Derrike Cope is a perfect example of a flash in the pan that wins the 500 and maybe one or two races and nothing else.
My dad passed away 1 month before the Daytona 500 and he was a Wood bro. race team fan since the early 1960s, he would only pull for who ever drove the 21 car, since the 21 car has only raced in a limited amount of races the last several years his favorite driver was Carl Edwards who finished 2nd, My dad also knew the crew chief of the 21 car from a job they worked at in S.C. I also have been a Wood Bro. fan since my childhood and on this fathers Day 2011 I honor my Dad!
for all the people who give carl edwards all the credit for pushing trevor bayne to the win,THINK, how far did he push trevor? from the exit of turn 4 to the finish line, thats just 1/4 of a mile while BOBBY LABONTE pushed him the other 4 and 3/4 of the finish, GIVE BOBBY SOME CREDIT!
you know for all the people that have said Trevor Bayne did not deserve to win that race F*** YOU He deserved to win as much as Dale JR, Jeff Gordon, or even that cheating idiot Jimmie ''F***ing'' Johnson and this is comming from a from a person who wanted to see Dale JR win. So there you go there is my 2 cents on this topic
i picked trevor to win after saturday qualifying practice a week before the 500. i saw he had a rocket, and after seeing shootout practice pretty much everything we knew bout plate racing was thrown out and that the fast cars prevail. Trevor Bayne AWEOMSE JOB MAN! MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A GENIUS!!!!!!
i also thought trevor would win somehow. he was a rookie. he was racing good. and i was thinking he should win. and what do u know. he won! badass race
At least there is passing in the two by two style for the entire race their noy glued single file to the bottom for the entire race. Another exciting thing about this style is the restarts because there is such an urgency to get up to catch the two car packs.
I've been a fan of his since Nationwide, and I actually told my dad back during the bud shootout that I thought he would be the darkhorse to win. Really glad I was right :) This is just like when I picked Jimmie Johnson as my favourite driver when I was 10 and it was his rookie year.
@oxSam11 When he came in 17th at Texas last year, I knew he would be a contender for a win at some point in his Cup Series career. I didn't know he was going to get it in his second start.
Trevor has a great Cup Series future ahead of him.
I think this is remarkable, but also has deep meaning, Its no secret that Bayne finished (3)rd in Qualifying and if you add his car number together you get the number 3! (2+1=3!) A Decade after Dale passed he's still passing on the torch at Daytona! Number 3 lives on! What a race! Congrats Trevor!
I'm a JJ fan, but me and my brother and a friend (who really doesn't even like NASCAR) were jumping up and down and yelling at the TV when he won. Good stuff.
@SlicedSmoke14 Let's not forget Kevin Harvick's win at Atlanta in his 3rd career race? I think Trevor's win is the 2nd biggest upset, but I am not sure.
@SlicedSmoke14 One of the guys on speed's pre race show picked Trevor but other than that, this was a major upset. Kurt Busch helped him by taking out Bowyer and Newman of course let's not forget that
congrats bayne for becoming the youngest daytona winner i always been a roush fan but seeing wood brothers winning the daytona 500 it brings me joy hopefully bayne get a full sponsor this year then just maybe he can take down the number 48 of jimmy johnson nascar needs a nice person
If this isn't the biggest upset in NASCAR history, it's pretty damn close. How many times does a 20 year-old kid go out in only his 2nd Sprint Cup start and win, in the Daytona 500 no less?
David Gilliland, Dave Blaney, Paul Menard, and Bobby Labonte did a lot better than i thought they would. And of course Trevor Bayne, Regan Smith, and David Ragan too
@SlicedSmoke14 Technically, I don't think Lee Petty winning on his 50 debut would count 'cause it's the 1st running, so Trevor becomes the first driver to win in his 1st career Daytona 500 start.
this was a good day for everyone, fans and drivers (most of them at least). record breaking in 3 catagories (cautions, lead changes, and another catagory), 10 yrs and 2 days since dale's death, ford was the top 3, 2 guys who were basically unknown in the top 5, a fmr. champion in 4th, a guy who won 2 races during speedweeks: so it was basically exciting for all fans
This is one of the best moments in the past 5 years for Nascar. Its great that a good person like Bayne set a record that I don't think anyone could ever beat. Only 20 years and 1 day old and a Daytona 500 winner, congrats to him.
i wanted to see bayne win it, but man oh man when i saw labonte, i was automatically rooting for him

He's has been so polite throughout the race.
Example:
He called Jamie Little ma'am in qualifying until she got tired of it.
He dropped back late in the race to find Jeff Gordon.
When Edwards asked Trevor if he wanted to bump draft, he said he was sorry because he was drafting Kyle Busch.
He wondered what happened to David Ragan.
