DAYTONA BEACH, FL. – A packed Daytona speedway was stunned as Trevor Baynes came from nowhere to win Daytona 500.

This is not fiction. He is only 20yrs old and his team is team, Wood Brothers Racing, are the oldest team in the competition.

This is a fairy tale marriage between the oldest team and youngest driver as no one expected Trevor Baynes to win the greatest race on the American racing calendar.

The youngster said on his radio, “are you kidding me”, as he crossed the finish line to claim the biggest moment of his career.

On the day when NASCAR was marking the 10th anniversary of one of it’s darkest days, this happens to one very uplifting story.

Trevor Baynes just turned 20 years old on Saturday and this must be the sweetest birthday present he has ever gotten. Had the race been held two days earlier, we would’ve had a teenager winning the biggest race of the NASCAR calendar.

Baynes said he had never even dreamed of this achievement. The kid could not even find his way to the victory lane. He had to be directed there.

This is perhaps the most spectacular win in NASCAR’s 53 years of running the Daytona 500.

Trevor Baynes who comes from knoxville, Tennessee even joked he was now more popular than Peyton Manning who comes from the same town.

This is a great race win for a boy who wasn’t even old enough to have a sip of the victory champagne and the oldest team in all of NASCAR who nobody even talks about.

Surely now everyone will be sitting in bars across the country and talking about Trevor Baynes and the Wood Brothers Racing team.
