Trevor Bayne has been released from the Mayo Clinic where the Daytona 500 spent the past week undergoing testing and evaluation. Roush Racing issued a press release Thursday afternoon indicating Bayne is recovering and will return to NASCAR racing this season.

“Trevor Bayne was seen by a team of Mayo Clinic specialists where he underwent a series of tests and consultations over the last week,” said Mayo Clinic neurologist Brian Crum, M.D. “He was admitted after
suffering from nausea, fatigue and vision impairment. Since his admission, the nausea and fatigue have abated, and the vision impairment continues to be treated with medication, and is showing significant
improvement.

“This symptom appears to be the result of an inflammatory condition. Further assessments will be made over the next couple of weeks. His condition is not life threatening or career-ending. We expect he will continue to improve, though the timeframe for his return to racing is unknown at this point. He will continue to be followed closely by his Mayo Clinic team."

Chris Buescher will drive the No. 16 Roush Ford in Friday night's Nationwide race at Darlington after filling in for Bayne at Richmond. Roush Racing officials are hopeful Bayne will return to the seat next week at Dover.
