    In an off-season that has seen several surprising driver changes, there’s one winning combination that isn’t about to break up. Trevor Bayne will remain in the seat of the Wood Brothers No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion.

    Bayne, who delivered the Woods their fifth Daytona 500 triumph in just his second start in the No. 21 Ford Fusion, said he’s pleased to be putting any off-season uncertainty behind him.

    “I’m excited,” he said. “It’s a big deal for me. It’s what I had hoped for. We’re all excited to be back together.”

    Bayne And The Wood Brothers Ready to Tackle Tandem Racing at Talladega
    October 20, 2011



    Fresh after a Bank of America 500 run that showed they had the muscle to run with the leaders on an intermediate track, Trevor Bayne and his No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion head to Talladega Superspeedway, where they’ll be among the pre-race favorites for Sunday’s Good Sam Club 500.

    Although he has made just 15 career Sprint Cup starts, the 20-year-old Bayne has developed a reputation for knowing how to push and be pushed in the two-car “tandem” drafting that has become commonplace at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway, the two giant tracks where restrictor plates are used to reduce speeds.

    Bayne won the Daytona 500 in February and started on the outside pole at Daytona in July. In April at Talladega, he ran among the leaders and led five laps before being collected in a crash.

    The Wood Brothers have had lots to celebrate in 2011, including a win in the Daytona 500 and the election of team founder Glen Wood into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The celebration continues during the Bank of America 500 weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, as the paint scheme on the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion honors Glen Wood’s final win as a race driver.

    The Motorcraft/Quick Lane car will be painted in the same colors as the 1963 Ford Galaxie that Wood drove to victory at Bowman-Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C., on July 13, 1963, and crew members will wear shirts just like the ones the Wood Brothers wore in the mid-1960s.

    Overall good day for Ford Fusion drivers

    Edwards No. 1 With Company
    OCT. 02, 2011

    By Team Ford Racing Correspondent

    Dover, Del. — The stat sheet says Team Ford Racing star Carl Edwards is tied with Kevin Harvick atop the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings. Each has 2,122 points, nine more than previous leader Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch, winner of Sunday afternoon's AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway.

    And while Edwards is happy to be first, tied or otherwise, he's still bummed at the penalty that may well have cost him a win on Sunday. And with a win, or even a second-place finish, he'd be alone at the top after three of the 10 Chase for the Championship races.

    On an overall good day for Ford Fusion drivers, Edwards came from a lap down and deep in the field to finish second to Busch and Jimmie Johnson in the 400-lap, 400-mile race. Kasey Kahne was fourth and Ford driver (and championship contender) Matt Kenseth was fifth. The rest of the top-10: championship contender Kyle Busch, Ford driver AJ Allmendinger, Clint Bowyer, Ford driver Marcos Ambrose and championship contender Harvick.

    Loudon, N.H. — Four Roush Fenway Racing Ford Fusions finished among the top 10 of Sunday's Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

    Greg Biffle led the way with a third-place finish while Matt Kenseth was sixth, David Ragan seventh and Carl Edwards eighth.

    GREG BIFFLE – No. 16 Ford40mpg.com Ford Fusion (Finished third)
    "I hate these fuel mileage races. We like to run hard and go. We had a really fast car that could have been second or third no matter what, but I just wish it didn't come down to that. I would have liked to see how hard we could have run and see if we could have caught them."

    YOU WERE IN THE TOP 10 ALL DAY.
    "We were in the top 10 all day. I was a little tight on the one run when I lost a little track position, but we got adjusted on the car and got it back. I just had to save gas and when you have to save gas, you can't go. You can't use gas. I'm glad I had the Ford40mpg.com on the car because I think it helped me."
