MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) - Trevor Bayne, the 20-year-old driver who won Sunday's Daytona 500, has offered to give some of his $1.4 million prize to an international Christian ministry that cares for orphans.
After becoming the youngest driver to ever win NASCAR's biggest race, Trevor Bayne praised Jesus Christ and said his prize would help support the work of Back2Back Ministries. (www.back2backministries.org)
The Rev. Lonnie Clouse, a former NASCAR chaplain, says Bayne was a regular at his Bible studies and chapel services. Clouse now works at Back2Back orphanages in Monterrey, Mexico, where Bayne volunteered for several days in December.
