CONCORD, N.C. (Sept. 30, 2010) – Roush Fenway Racing announced it has signed up-and-coming NASCAR driver Trevor Bayne. The 19-year old has started all 28 races in the Nationwide Series this season, running to 10 top-10 finishes and five top fives. After getting acclimated in the series, Bayne has totaled three poles, nine top 10s and five top fives in his last 14 Nationwide starts. He is currently ranked seventh in the Nationwide Series standings.

“We are pleased to be able to sign a driver of both Trevor’s caliber and character,” said team owner Jack Roush. “Trevor has exhibited a distinctive ability to run fast, up front and compete side-by-side with veteran drivers in a relatively short amount of time. We feel that he possesses all of the tools necessary to grow into a top-level driver and we look forward to working with him to hone his skills as we move forward down the road.”

Bayne will pilot the No. 17 Roush Fenway Nationwide Series entry this weekend in Kansas, and Roush Fenway intends to run him for the remaining six races on the schedule.

Overall Bayne has made 43 career Nationwide Series starts, having posted 12 top-10 finishes and five top fives. He won the pole last season in only his seventh NNS start and started inside the top 11 in 12 of 15 races.

“I am just really excited to have the opportunity to drive,” said Bayne. “We are looking forward to a great relationship with Roush Fenway, and I’m eager to go racing with Jack Roush and everyone at the organization. I can’t wait to get everything started this weekend in Kansas.”

Prior to the Nationwide Series Bayne, who hails from Knoxville, Tenn., made 15 starts in the NASCAR K&N East Series, tallying one win, six top fives, nine top 10s and two poles. He started racing at the age of five, competing on the go-cart circuit and winning over 300 feature races, 18 state and track championships and three world championships. He eventually won top rookie honors in both the Allison Legacy Race Series and the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series Southern Division before moving on to the K&N Series.

With the addition of Bayne, Roush Fenway will have three drivers competing in the Nationwide Series that are currently inside the top 10 in the series’ standings.

WELCOME, N.C. (September 30, 2010) — The following is a statement from Richard Childress, president and chief executive officer of Richard Childress Racing, regarding the September 29 decision of the NASCAR appeals committee to uphold the penalty on the No. 33 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team following the September 19 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:

“I am disappointed but not surprised by the decision knowing how the appeal system is structured. We proved beyond a reasonable doubt how the car was found to be out of tolerance after the race. Knowing how the system works, I brought a check with me to cover the cost of the appeal hearing and we have already submitted our request to appeal to the chief appellate officer. That being said, we will not let this be a distraction to the primary goal of one of our teams winning the Sprint Cup Series championship. We owe it to our fans and our sponsors to stay focused and bring the championship back to RCR. We will have no further comment on the matter until the appeal is final.”
