Taylor Great Start Ends Early

After a tough time during Friday’s qualifying, Scott Taylor and his PRO-2 #8 Skyjacker BFGoodrich Tires Ford F-150 has something to prove. Friday night the team solved the fuel starvation problem, but would not know for sure until the Saturday morning practice.

Saturday – Round 1

Saturday’s practice session saw the recently completed truck really come to life. The truck ran lap times 2.5 seconds than in the previous day’s qualifying session.

At the start, the Roush Performance really hooked up with the BFGoodrich Tires. Scott found himself in second place heading into Turn 2. On lap 4 Probst bobbled and Scott took the lead. The Skyjacker engineered suspension really handled the new whoop section as Scott held the lead at the competition caution period.

After the restart on lap 12, Scott held the lead. Then disaster struck. As Scott was coming out of a caution flag area, the nut holding the right front hub together failed causing the truck to roll and ending his day.

“ Wow the truck was really working great. Earlier we were still trying different suspension setups. Then the fuel problem happened. My team never gave up. When it came time to race, everything came together. It’s just unfortunate the hub failure occurred. We’ll get the hub replaced ,and double check everything to make sure nothing else was hurt during the rollover. We will be ready for Sunday.” – commented Scott Taylor.
