Trevor Bayne will make his second homecoming in three weeks as he heads to Bristol, Tenn., for this weekend’s Jeff Byrd 500. Bayne was in his hometown of Knoxville shortly after winning last month’s Daytona 500 and while he’s been going to Bristol since the age of five, this will mark his first time driving a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car. He spoke to Ford Racing recently about the meaning of the weekend to him.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN GOING TO RACES AT BRISTOL?
“I’ve been going there since I was in kindergarten. I was five years old and I’d get out of school early to go up there and watch and hang out, so that’s definitely a special place for me. That was actually the first place I ever went to a NASCAR race.”
