Jeff Taylor Tames Batesville for Sixth Win of 2013
Cave City, Arkansas (08/21/13) - Jeff Taylor piloted his #5 Jeff Taylor Racing/Industrial Electric/Provence Construction/New Vision Graphics/Taylor Chassis/Mullins Race Engines entry in the Open Wheel Modified portion of the 21st Annual COMP Cams Topless 100 over the weekend at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas).
On Friday night a strong field of 24 competitors took to the 3/8 mile oval in pursuit of the $900 top prize. Heat race action found Jeff advancing from the 5th starting spot to a 2nd place finish, which locked him into the 4th starting spot for the feature. During the first half of the feature Taylor worked his way into the 2nd spot and began to challenge Richie Tosh for the lead. With just six laps remaining Taylor used a strong run on the low side to take over the top spot, and went on to lead the closing laps to score his 6th win of the 2013 season! Tosh, Tyson Franks, Brandon Smith, and Lucas Lee rounded out the top five finishers.
Saturday's program would get delayed until Sunday by rain, and with a condensed program being contested the line up for the 20 lap feature was determined by the pill draw, and Jeff's draw left him starting 11th in the feature. The fourth lap of the feature found him slowing with apparent mechanical issues. However, he was able to rejoin the tail of the field, and over the remainder of the event he rebounded to finish 4th behind race winner, Tyson Franks, Jared Landers, and Brian Ritchie.
Full results from the events are available at www.BatesvilleMotorSpeedway.net .
The team's next scheduled event is the 31st Annual IMCA Super Nationals at Boone Speedway (Boone, Iowa) on September 3rd-7th. Jeff won the mega-event in 2012 and will look to repeat in this year's event that will once again draw many of the best competitors in the nation.
