Trevor Bayne and Danica Patrick made history in the 2011 NASCAR season's opening weeks, Bayne by becoming the youngest driver to win on NASCAR's biggest stage, and Patrick by scoring the highest finish by a female in NASCAR history..
Darlington Raceway, NASCAR’s oldest superspeedway and one of its toughest tracks, tends to favor drivers with experience, and that makes for good timing for Todd Bodine. Bodine opened the Camping World Truck season as the defending champion, but his search for a third series title hasn’t started pleasantly. He ran well in the Daytona International Speedway opener but was whacked in a late-race accident and failed to finish the race. He left town with a 23rd-place run.
