Trevor Bayne and Roush Fenway Racing will be together through the 2019. Along with Advocare, Bayne’s current sponsor.

The team announced a three-year extension for both driver and sponsor Wednesday. Bayne has been with Roush Fenway Racing since he joined the team with seven races to go in the 2010 Xfinity Series season.

AdvoCare will continue to serve as the team’s “anchor sponsor.” The company is one of the few in NASCAR who still has a full season sponsorship. Since Bayne moved to the Cup Series full-time in 2015, AdvoCare has sponsored him in every race.

The 2011 Daytona 500 winner has made a big jump in the points from 2015 to 2016. After finishing 29th in points last season, Bayne is 22nd with three races to go in 2016. He even got his first two top-five finishes since that Daytona 500 this season.

Bayne is one point back of teammate Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in the points standings and nearly 100 points ahead of Greg Biffle, whose future with Roush is unclear after 2016.
