The Wood Brothers Sprint Cup NASCAR team announced that Trevor Bayne will remain in the seat of the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion.
Bayne, who delivered the Woods their fifth Daytona 500 triumph in just his second start in the No. 21 Ford Fusion, said in a press release he’s pleased to be putting any off-season uncertainty behind him.
“I’m excited,” he said. “It’s a big deal for me. It’s what I had hoped for. We’re all excited to be back together.”
Team co-owner Eddie Wood said he too is pleased to have Bayne back behind the wheel of his family’s race car.
“It’s taken a long time to get to this announcement, but it’s good to be back together,” Wood said.
“We all wanted to do what was best for Ford Motor Company and its young drivers, and to be sure everybody had a place to race.”
Beginning next week, the team will be back at Daytona International Speedway for Preseason Thunder testing and trying to figure a way to adapt to a new rules package and defend their 500 victory.
“It’s going to be very different at Daytona,” Bayne said, referring to a rule change that will block off air to the car’s radiator and thereby limit the two-car tandem racing that Bayne so quickly adapted to. “It’ll be like starting all over again, but that’s OK.”
