STATESVILLE, N.C. / DARLINGTON, S.C. (August 27, 2025) – LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Ambassador Trevor Bayne will return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this Saturday at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, piloting the No. 1 Victory Junction Toyota Tundra TRD Pro with TRICON Garage.
The paint scheme is made possible by AdventHealth, a partner of LEGACY MOTOR CLUB and a long-time friend of the Petty family.
Victory Junction, the camp featured on Bayne’s truck, has deep NASCAR roots. In 1999, a teenage Adam Petty visited Camp Boggy Creek — a medically safe camp for children with serious illnesses located outside Orlando — alongside his father, NASCAR driver Kyle Petty.
The experience left a profound impression, and Adam began dreaming of creating a place where children living with complex medical needs could experience the joys of childhood in a safe environment.
Adam was tragically killed in a racing accident in 2000 before he could make that dream come true. To honor his memory, the Petty family launched a campaign in 2002 to bring his vision to life.
With the help of fundraisers and supporters, Victory Junction opened in Randleman, N.C., in 2004 as the first camp of its kind in the state. NASCAR-themed and built to nurture and challenge kids with serious illnesses, the camp has welcomed thousands of children since its opening.
AdventHealth’s connection to this story reaches back to the beginning. The health system donated the original 232 acres of land for Camp Boggy Creek and continues to provide financial support and volunteers. Over the past decade, AdventHealth has helped nearly 300 children attend the camp, offering families a respite and giving young patients a chance to connect with others who understand their struggles.
“Children battling illness already spend too much of their lives in hospitals and doctors’ offices,” said Rob Deininger, CEO of the AdventHealth East Florida Division. “At places like Victory Junction and Camp Boggy Creek, they get to swap IV poles for fishing poles. That joy is medicine, too — and it’s why we’re proud to share their story on Trevor’s truck this weekend.”
For Bayne, the Darlington race marks both a personal return and a meaningful cause.
Bayne previously made nine Truck Series starts in his NASCAR career with one of them coming at Darlington in September 2020, where he finished 27th. That was his first career start in the Truck Series.
At the end of the 2020 season, Bayne made his Truck Series debut with Niece Motorsports and piloted the No. 45 Truck for the final eight races. He earned a best finish of second after starting fifth in the October 2020 race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
His last start in NASCAR came in the October 2023 Truck Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
“I can’t even begin to describe how surreal it feels this weekend to be able to get the chance to get back in a truck and go racing after several years,” said Bayne, the 2011 Daytona 500 winner. “Darlington can be a little bit nerve-racking if you haven’t been in the racecar in a while. It’s one of the toughest tracks on the circuit, so I’ll have to acclimate fast and get up-to-speed.
“For the last two season, I’ve enjoyed great relationships with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, TRICON Garage, and Toyota plus their drivers, helping them get prepared for each race through our driver optimization programs. I’m so thankful to Jimmie Johnson, Cal Wells, David Gilliland, and Matt Puccia – all those guys worked hard to put me back in a racecar.
“In addition, I’m so grateful for AdventHealth as well, they are an amazing company that I’ve gotten to know over the past year. They made this possible by supporting myself and Victory Junction on the truck this weekend. I’m hopeful that we can make it count.”
Fans can watch Bayne compete in the Sober or Slammer 200 on Saturday, Aug. 30, at 12 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN or SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
