HICKORY, N.C. — How fast was Trevor Bayne on his way to victory lane in the Aaron’s 250 Saturday night at Hickory Motor Speedway? Well, second-place Jay Fogleman summed it up best.
“He was so fast, I couldn’t even block him when he went by,” Fogleman said. “I don’t know if he knew which way he was going to pass me, he was so fast.”
On lap 181, Bayne went high, slid around Fogleman and went unchallenged en route to victory.
“If you mess around at the front enough, I knew we’d get a win,” said Bayne, driver of the No. 29 Chevy Racing/DEI Chevrolet.
“Tonight, we just had an awesome car. I could pass three-wide anytime I wanted. I was able to pass for the lead on the outside. What more can you ask for out of a car?”
Matt Carter, driver of the No. 26n Travis Carter Motorsports Ford, was battling Fogleman all the way to the finish, but he had to settle for third in his out-of-division start.
Mike Garvey, driver of the No. 17 JaniKing Ford, rallied from losing a car in practice to finish fourth.
Derrick Kelley, driver of the No. 21 Adesa Impact Auto Ford, completed the top five.
