Wednesday Friday March 2 20-year-old Bayne wins Daytona 500 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Trevor Bayne final- ly made a mistake. Fortunately for him, it didn’t happen until he missed the turn pulling into Victory Lane at the Daytona 500. The youngest driver to win the Great American Race gave the historic Wood Brothers team its fifth Daytona 500 victory — its first since 1976 with David Pearson — and Bayne did it in a No. 21 Ford that was retrofitted to resem- ble Pearson’s famed ride. In just his second Sprint Cup start, the 20-year-old Bayne stunned NASCAR’s biggest names with a thrilling overtime win Sunday at Daytona International Speedway, See 500, page 2B Tuesday’s basketball playoffs at a glance #10 Champion Christian at #7 Mercy Boys — Division VI — First Round Tuesday, 7 p.m. Champion Christian Mustangs: 9- 13, 6-4, third in Pioneer-Valley Mercy Warriors: 13-13, 5-7, fourth in Tri-Cities Previous meeting: The teams met last season at the Block LM Tournament with Mercy winning 45-39 behind 21 points from Mitchell Lopez and a 10-point, 11-rebound performance by Jeremie Jones.
