In the lead-up to the 2000 NASCAR season, each was looking to take the next step in their career. No one knew all three would lose their lives in separate racing accidents just five months apart. They were three warnings of a serious safety issue within the sport that, unheeded, culminated with a tragedy even more unthinkable. This is that story.

Because of you, we raised a combined $100 for Victory Junction, The Kenny Irwin, Jr. Foundation, and the Tony Roper Scholarship Fund!

As part of his 2011 Daytona 500 champion's tour, 20-year-old Trevor Bayne visited San Francisco's Ghirardelli Square Tuesday for a press conference sponsored by Ghirardelli's chocolatiers and the Infineon Raceway. In this first part of the press conference, Bayne becomes the first to taste the "Trevor Bayne Sundae, Sundae, Sundae" which he made in the ice cream parlor prior to the conference. The sundae is freaking delicious, so here's how you can make your own: 1 scoop chocolate ice cream 1 scoop rocky road ice cream 1 scoop chocolate chip ice cream marshmallow, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry all on top of a layer of fudge at the bottom of the bowl Infineon Raceway president Steve Page is also on hand, sharing our hopes that Bayne will get a chance to run the Sonoma race this June. BIG thanks to my younger brother Miles who captured this film while I was making my way over from class that night. Be sure to check out PART 2, where Bayne answers questions from fans.
