Trevor Bayne was the nicest guys in Nascar Garage but his luck during his career made him fall into irrelevance after winning the Great American Race but after winning that win he would but failed live up to expectations which qualified him as biggest 1 hit wonder in Nascar History.

Trevor Bayne's career kickoff in 2006 while racing in Hooters Pro Cup Series where he made 18 starts while scoring 2 top 5's,4 top 10's,Average finish of 16th,Best Finish of 4th twice and Finished 23rd in Points. 2007 showed improvement as Trevor Bayne would score his 1st career win at Hickory Speedway then scored another win at Myrtle Beach where he ended the season with 2 wins,7 top 5's,7 top 10's,Average Finish of 12th and Finished 2nd in points.

Trevor Bayne would gain interest from DEI to drive the 8 Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet full-time in K&N East Series where he captured his 1st career K&N East Series win at Thompson Speedway and ended season with 1 win,6 top 5's,8 top 10's and Finished 4th in points but when DEI merged with Chip Ganassi Racing that lefted Trevor Bayne without ride to Chip Ganassi Racing not focusing on any K&N K&N Series. Trevor Bayne started 2009 as Free Agent looking for ride but Jimmy Means would give him opportunity at Spring Bristol Race and finished 23rd then Michael Waltrip Racing would give him opportunity to compete in competitive by running 12 races while managing to score top 10 finish at IRP after starting on pole but was spun out under caution while leading the race.

Michael Waltrip Racing would hire Trevor Bayne to full-time deal for 2010 season to drive the 99 Toyota but found minimum success by scoring 3 consecutive poles,5 top 5's,10 top 10's and sitting 7th in points before moving over to Roush Racing were he finished the season 7th in points with 1 top 5 finish at Roush while making his cup Series debut at Fall Texas race were he finished 17th. Trevor Bayne would shock the entire world in his 2nd career Cup Series start he would upset field by winning Daytona 500 but following that he would have average results in Xfinity Series were he finished 11th in points due to illness that kepted him out of race car for 5 races but managed to score his 1st Xfinity Series win at Fall Texas race but his Cup Series stats weren't spectacular as he had average finish of 25th.

2012 was off year for Trevor Bayne as he lost his Xfinity Series ride due to lack of sponsorship after Auto Club while sitting 4th in points which forced him to run his Cup Series ride at Wood Brothers Racing were he managed 2 top 10 finishes at Las Vegas and Talladega. Trevor Bayne would regain his full-time ride at Roush Racing in Xfinity Series to drive the 6 Advocare Ford where he returned to Victory Lane at Iowa Speedway where he ended the season with 1 win,7 top 5's,21 top 10's and Finished 6th in points then failed to score top 10 in his 12 starts in Cup Series with Average Finish of 25th.

Trevor Bayne returned to Xfinity Series in 2014 for Roush Racing were he was unable to win race but managed to scored 5 top 5's,21 top 10's and Finished 6th in points but his Cup Series stats were horrendous with Average Finish of 32nd with 3 top 20 finishes but following the announcement of Carl Edwards leaving Jack Roush would promote Trevor Bayne to Cup Series to drive 6 Advocare Ford for 2015 season. Trevor Bayne's 1st full-time season was very forgettable as Bayne massively struggled during season while hanging above top 30 in points for entire season and ended the season with 2 top 10 finishes during season and finished 29th in Points then 2016 would show improvement for Trevor Bayne with new crew chief Matt Paccia as he scored 2 top 5's,5 top 10's,Best Finish of 3rd at Summer Daytona race and Finished 22nd in Points with 19th place Average Finish

2017 showed the same result for Trevor Bayne as he would managed to score 2 top 5's,6 top 10's,Best Finish of 3rd at Fall Talladega race and Finished 22nd in Points with 19th place Average Finish. 2018 would start off horribly for Trevor Bayne as 3 DNFS and poor results lefted him sitting 30th in points after Dover which forced Jack Roush to ask Matt Kenseth out of retirement to run in races that Trevor Bayne wouldn't race which meant Trevor Bayne was getting demoted from team as Trevor Bayne would run in 10 more races with no top 10 finishes for Roush Racing and later in year Jack Roush would announce Ryan Newman as new driver of 6 car which officially means Trevor Bayne's Cup Series Career was officially over.

Trevor Bayne had to much pressure following his historic win Daytona 500 as people were now paying attention to him and wondered if could handle the pressure which he ultimately didn't as his career is most likely over and can no longer live off his Daytona 500 victory that put him into spotlight.
