It was a very tough season altogether for Trevor Bayne and his No. 6 AdvoCare Ford team in 2015 as they only scored two top-ten finishes during the season.  The rough start began at Daytona and couldn't throughout the entire season as Roush Fenway Racing continued to struggle to find speed in its Fords during the season.

The bright spot came at Michigan in June when Bayne scored his first top-ten finish, a ninth place finish at team owner Jack Roush's home track.  Bayne would then score a top-ten at Daytona in July finishing 9th once again.  When NASCAR first brought in the low down-force package at Kentucky Speedway, Bayne and teammate Ricky Stenhouse were competitive on the 1.5 mile oval and Bayne finished 13th.  His best finish the remainder of the year came at Bristol when he finished 15th.
Biggest Race of the Year:  Michigan
Trevor Bayne ran his most competitive race of the season at the two-mile Michigan Speedway in June.  Bayne finished 9th in the rain shortened event and scored his first top-ten in the Sprint Cup Series since 2012.
What To Look Forward to in 2016:
Roush Fenway Racing completely restructured itself right after the season ended and there were a lot of new employees hired.  It appears that Bayne and crew chief Bob Osborne will work together for a second term next season in the Sprint Cup Series.  Osborne is the 6th winningest crew chief in the Sprint Cup Series garage so the outlook might be better in their second year together.  AdvoCare will be back on board for their second season with the No. 6 Roush Fenway team as well.

NASCAR will be running the low downforce package next season and that seemed to be one the strongest points of Bayne's season was when the series ran at Kentucky with its low downforce package at the 1.5 mile Kentucky Speedway.  Bayne ran in the top-ten for most of the night until he faded back to 13th later that night.  So the outlook is better for 2016.  Also Ford will have a new body on its 2016 Ford Fusion to compete in the Sprint Cup Series as well that should help with some of the issues that Roush Fenway has faced since the Gen-6 car was introduced.
Baby Bayne Was Born:  

Trevor and Ashton Bayne had a beautiful baby girl Elizabeth(Ellie) Kate Bayne who was born last Thursday.  You can't get a better Christmas than having your child born.  Little Ellie came close to sharing a birthday with her grandfather Rocky Bayne.

It appears that Trevor and Ashton haven't been getting much sleep since the arrival of their little daughter last week as Trevor posted this picture on instagram earlier this week.

We wish them nothing but the best in raising their daughter!
