BRISTOL, Tenn. – Just how busy is a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver’s schedule? So much so that it’s hard to find even a few nights of peaceful sleep.
With the series enjoying a rare off week after Bristol, Roush Fenway Racing driver Trevor Bayne and wife Ashton are looking forward to their first real vacation in two years.
The Baynes have two children, daughter Ellie, born in December 2015, and son Levi, who arrived in June. The little ones won’t be accompanying their parents on this vacation.
“My wife and I were talking yesterday, and we realize we haven’t been on a vacation, just the two of us, since Ellie was born, so that’s been almost two years now,” Bayne said on Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway. “We’re ready to go on vacation together. Race season just gets so hectic, and our other off-weekend is Easter, so we go home and spend time with our family.
“But we’ve got a little boy and a little girl. Our little boy doesn’t sleep great, so we’re just looking forward to three nights of sleep, and that’s probably all we’ll do, but we’re going to go and leave them with our parents and have a good time.”
Bayne didn’t elaborate as to his vacation destination, but you can be sure it will be a location that offers peace and quiet.
