NASCAR Sprint Cup Daytona 500 winner, Trevor Bayne was admitted to hospital back in North Carolina after the Texas race for an unknown insect bite.

He was released on Sunday evening and tweeted “Thank u all for ur concern and prayers! Still not exactly sure what bit me, but I'm home and good to go! #spiderblood Haha”

The official team release said Roush Fenway Racing's Trevor Bayne was treated and released Sunday from Carolina Medical Center University Hospital in Charlotte after a reaction from an apparent insect bite on his left elbow that the 20-year old driver suffered last week while at home.

"Trevor has been treated and released from the hospital and is fine to continue with his daily activities - including driving a race car," said Roush Fenway president Steve Newmark.

"Doctors are still waiting for the test results to determine for sure what caused the reaction, but Trevor has been treated, is at home and he is doing fine."
