• Bayne broke into the East Series at the young age of 16, starting one race (Mansfield Motorsports Speedway).

CJM Racing Quick Facts:

• RIDEMAKERZ will return as the primary sponsor of the No. 11 at Fontana. The company offers the first-ever car-customizing experience for kids ages six to 106. Pick one of 70 different car body types and paint schemes, using scale plastic-mold replicas of real-world cars that RIDEMAKERZ licenses from GM, Ford, BMW, and other car companies. Then trick out the ride by picking the wheels, hubcaps, a chassis, sounds, and other options such as radio control. Build YOUR Ride at RIDEMAKERZ.com.
• At the team’s last race on Oct. 3 in Kansas, Brian Scott drove the No. 11 RIDEMAKERZ Toyota to a 14th-place finish.  Scott was making a run for a top-10 finish until a late-race restart shuffled the car back in the pack.
• The 2009 season marks the second season CJM Racing is competing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series full-time. The team is currently 17th in the owner point standings.
• CJM Racing transitioned to Toyota Camry’s in 2009 and shares a technical alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing. The partnership formed late last year allows the teams to share technical information as well as research and development.
• The team will bring chassis # 017 to Fontana.  CJM ran this chassis earlier in the season at Atlanta with Kelly Bires and at Michigan with Denny Hamlin.
• The Copart 300 at Auto Club Speedway will air LIVE on ESPN2 at 4 pm (ET) on Saturday, Oct. 10th.
  
  

Driver Trevor Bayne on Racing the No. 11 RIDEMAKERZ Toyota:

“I'm pretty excited to be racing because I've been off for a couple weeks.  I appreciate the opportunity to get back in the car for CJM.  This is a good group of guys. They put together a car that’s not a start-and-park – I'll be getting in a car that can win.”

Driver Trevor Bayne on Fontana:

“I've never raced there before.  I went to a test there when they were testing the C.O.T. (Car of Tomorrow) and watched.  So, I'm kind of going in blind, but that's been my story for the year.  I haven't had much experience on any of the tracks I've raced on, but that hasn't been a problem.”
