Trevor Bayne Youngest Ever Champion at Daytona 500

     There is no better example of the American Dream than Trevor Bayne winning the Great American Race. The day after his 20th birthday and in only his second NASCAR Sprint Cup race, Trevor Bayne wins the 2011 Daytona 500 becoming the youngest driver ever to do so. What more could this wholesome young race car driver from Knoxville, Tennessee do after beating some of the top drivers in the world and pocketing almost 1.5 million dollars? Praise the Lord, skateboard around the infield of the Daytona International Speedway, and receive a call from the Whitehouse congratulating him.



     Racing fans and non-fans alike have been swept up in what some are calling Trevormania. Everyone is excited and it is easy to find something to love about this young man. To me of special note, beyond his demeanor, great driving skills … is his outspoken and upfront expression of his Christian faith. Trevor was quick to point out after the race, the significance of Christ, prayer, and missions work in his life. In fact, Trevor promised part of his winnings to further missions’ activities (Back2Back Ministries) that he has already been a part of. Of course, this attitude and behavior are not new to Trevor, his Associate Pastor at Fairview Baptist Church, and numerous others have made it known that Trevor has long tried to live his faith.


     Trevor has made it clear that he finds peace in knowing that God is always in control, whether he (Trevor) is winning or losing. In fact, Trevor says his greatest expressions of faith have been when he is having a bad day. Now, with his new stardom, he has demonstrated that he will use the Daytona Championship platform as another tool to share Christ’s love with others.
