Bayne is signed to contest his second full season in the second-tier Nationwide Series with Roush Fenway Racing.

Although his win would stand him in good stead to fight for a spot in the chase and as such a shot at the 2011 Sprint Cup Series. Bayne is commited to his second season in the Nationwide Series where he currently sits fifth.

The 20 year old who was scheduled to race in a further 16 Spint Cup races this season with the Wood Brothers, but of the back of his Daytona win they are looking to increase this, depending upon sponserships.
