NASCAR will be making its first ever trip to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin this weekend. That is the home of "Road America," the extremely long 4.048 mile road course that features 14 turns! Since it is a road course, that means Tayler will not be driving in the usual oval of a track. I have posted a video that takes you on a two lap run of Road America. It gives you a good feeling of what the course actually looks like and the narrator does a good job or describing the track (they actually have to turn right).
Tayler does have some experience on road courses. He finished 3rd in the 2008 ARCA race that was held at the 2.25 mile road track at New Jersey Motosport Park (Other notable drivers from that race include, Justin Allgaier,Ricky Stenthouse Jr, and Brian Scott, all are entered in this weekends race at Road America) and also raced in several road course races in the Formula TR series and in go-karts. Tayler said "(he) is excited to get back to racing on the road courses in a stock car. I haven't race on any in a few years, and I'm interested to see how the Nationwide cars handle on road tracks."
Here are a few links from the weekend:
In case you missed a Tayler's hard crash into the wall on Saturday, here it is.
