One driver looking to hit the so-called <em>reset button<\/em> is Trevor Bayne.<\/p>\n<p>Bayne spoke to Tireball Sports and termed the off weeks as a &#8220;good time to try new things&#8221; but the 22-year-old said &#8220;they better be ready because there are not a lot of off weeks after this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After this weekend there is only one remaining week off for the Nationwide Series.<\/p>\n<p>Currently Bayne is sixth in the series standings, 47 points behind Sam Hornish Jr. Driving for a team that has won the last two driver championships provides some confidence for Bayne.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Having Mike Kelley and a team that has proved itself is big. I only have to think about driving the car.&#8221; Bayne told Tireball Sports.<\/p>\n<p>That car is the No. 6 at Roush Fenway Racing, a machine which has often been linked to Valvoline. This year RFR and Valvoline announced a continuation of their partnership.<\/p>\n<p>RFR will use Valvoline NextGen in their race cars this season. Vavoline Next Gen will also be primary sponsor on Bayne&#8217;s car for the June 22 race at Road America.<\/p>\n<p>Bayne termed the continuing sponsorship as something that is &#8220;great to have on the car.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of Trevor&#8217;s other answers from our interview:<\/p>\n<p>TIREBALL:\u00a0 Do you watch cup races you are not participating in?<\/p>\n<p>TREVOR BAYNE: Quite a bit. I often stay behind at the track, listen to the scanner. It&#8217;s harder to watch on television but hearing that scanner can tell you a lot about what guys are trying.<\/p>\n<p>TIREBALL: What were you thinking with the end of the Hamlin\/ Logano finish at Auto Club?<\/p>\n<p>TREVOR BAYNE:\u00a0 They had plenty of opportunities before that. They want to wreck their cars that is on them.<\/p>\n<p>TIREBALL. Who do you enjoy racing with in the Nationwide Series? What about Sprint Cup series?<\/p>\n<p>TREVOR BAYNE: It&#8217;s all the same. You notice the ones you don&#8217;t wanna be be around.<\/p>\n<p>TIREBALL: What&#8217;s your personal code of conduct on the track?<\/p>\n<p>TREVOR BAYNE: How you race me is how I race you&#8230; I think Tony Stewart is one of the best in the give and take.<\/p>\n<p>TIREBALL: You&#8217;ve won the Daytona 500 and that was epic, is there any other specific track that you would really want to win at or it would mean a lot for you to win at?<\/p>\n<p>TREVOR BAYNE: The next one, I enjoy the Nationwide car but I think the one that would be the best would be Bristol. Being the home town track and home town crowd,so Bristol or Atlanta. Obviously something like the Brickyard or Coca-Cola 600.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NASCAR Nationwide Series returns to action next weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.
