Eye-opener: What will Trevor Bayne's 500 win do for NASCAR?

Of all the things expected in Sunday's Daytona 500 having e a 20-year-old win in his first 500, and second start, for a team that has been toiling since the 50s, was probably not high on a lot of people's list.

Win gives NASCAR a youthful shot.

"If I tried to put it into words, I couldn't do it any justice," said Bayne who called his car "a rocket ship."
