Trevor Bayne To Be Honored With Hometown Rally In Tennessee

Trevor Bayne is coming home as a Daytona 500 winner.

↵Bayne will be honored in his hometown of Knoxville, Tenn. on Monday afternoon with a downtown rally, where he will have his first chance to greet his longtime friends and supporters. Bristol Motor Speedway will co-host the event, which is being held in Knoxville’s Market Square from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m.

↵This will be Bayne’s first visit back to Tennessee since winning the Daytona 500. Since the race, he’s traveled to media appearances at ESPN’s Connecticut studios, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix.

↵He’ll pull double duty in both the Cup and Nationwide race at Phoenix, then return home for the rally.

↵Bayne has become an overnight celebrity since winning the 500, and has drawn attention from the national mainstream media for his success.

↵Bristol is also introducing a $100 “Bayne Backer” ticket package, which includes a Bayne T-shirt, a ticket to a question-and-answer session with the driver and a ticket in a section of Bayne supporters at the upcoming Jeff Byrd 500.
