Trevor Bayne Returns To NASCAR Xfinity Series

Bayne, who serves as Legacy Motor Club’s driver optimization leader, last competed on the Xfinity level in September 2023 and posted a P33. The 2011 Daytona 500 titleholder, Bayne‘s last visit to Victory Lane came at Iowa Speedway for an Xfinity Series event.
