[+] Enlarge Jason Smith/Getty Images Trevor Bayne (21) could have done a lot worse than pair up with Bobby Labonte (47) for the stretch run of the Daytona 500.There's another story out there, just beneath the surface, not as blatant but just as feel-good.It is the pairing of 46-year-old Bobby Labonte, who had to scrape up rides with four different teams last season just to keep his streak of starts intact, with a one-car team that Marcos Ambrose quit (Marcos Ambrose, mind you) after last season.Without this little team and its older driver, there would have been no Trevor Bayne story at Daytona.
