A Daytona 500 winner is getting back behind the wheel at The Lady in Black. Trevor Bayne will take on Darlington Raceway this weekend as two different series kick off the playoffs.
According to a Wednesday announcement, Bayne will drive the No. 1 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for Tricon Garage during Saturday's Truck Series race (12 p.m. ET on FS1). He will have Victory Junction as his primary sponsor for the event. Tricon Garage noted that AdventHealth made this partnership possible.

Victory Junction is a camp that provides life-changing experiences to children battling chronic illnesses. The Petty family created this camp in honor of Adam Petty, who passed away in a racing accident in 2000.
Each year, Kyle Petty leads hundreds of motorcycle riders across the country on his charity ride, which raises money for Victory Junction and the thousands of kids who have visited the Randleman, North Carolina, camp.
"I can't even begin to describe how surreal it feels this weekend to be able to get the chance to get back in a truck and go racing after several years," said Bayne, a Legacy Motor Club ambassador. "Darlington can be a little bit nerve-racking if you haven't been in the racecar in a while. It's one of the toughest tracks on the circuit, so I'll have to acclimate fast and get up-to-speed.
"For the last two season, I've enjoyed great relationships with Legacy Motor Club, Tricon Garage, and Toyota plus their drivers, helping them get prepared for each race through our driver optimization programs. I'm so thankful to Jimmie Johnson, Cal Wells, David Gilliland, and Matt Puccia - all those guys worked hard to put me back in a racecar.
"In addition, I'm so grateful for AdventHealth as well, they are an amazing company that I've gotten to know over the past year. They made this possible by supporting myself and Victory Junction on the truck this weekend. I'm hopeful that we can make it count."
This race will mark Bayne's first Truck Series start since the 2023 season and his 10th overall. He last drove for Rackley W.A.R. at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He finished 14th. His other eight Truck Series starts took place with Niece Motorsports in 2020.
