Trevor Bayne approached by Jeff Gordon to work together on the track as drafting partners. Jeff could see how good Trevor was at it in practice and preliminary races during speed-week and knew he had a fast car. Trevor was a little better at being the push car in the back. Late in the race, Trevor and David Ragan get hooked up and are working good together.
