Daytona 500 Qualifying Trevor Bayne GridAfter Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won last season’s race at Las Vegas in the No. 6 Ford, Trevor Bayne is hoping to duplicate Stenhouse’s success by wheeling the No. 6 to Victory Lane this weekend, where he hopes to improve upon his 11th-place position in the standings.
