Taylor Battles his Way to a Second Place Finish in WSORR Rd. 3

Crandon, WI (June 23, 2007) - Scott Taylor came to Crandon with back to back wins in Minnesota, and was looking to extend his lead in his quest of the 2007 World Series of Off-Road Racing PRO-2WD championship.

Round 3
The drop of the flag saw Scott Taylor follow Mike Oberg, and Dan Vandenhuvel out of Turn One and down the front straightaway. The next nine laps saw Scott and his #8 Skyjacker BFGoodrich Tires 2007 Ford F-150 battle Vandenhuvel for the second spot. On the final lap, Scott made the pass for position on Vandenhuvel as the two went over the Boss Snow Plow jump. Then as the two trucks came into the final turn, contact was made and Scott came across the Skyjacker Suspension Finish Line with Vandenhuvel on top of Scott’s hood. WSORR officials had to review the video to determine that Scott Taylor finished just ahead of Vandenhuvel for second place.

Afterwards, Scott Taylor talked with BUMPRACER.COM about the wild finish.

“We had a good race today. Once again the competition was intense. I had a hard time getting around Vandenhuvel. He’s fast, but there was plenty of blocking. Then add the roost from trucks in front of me, suddenly this made the track very narrow. I made a clean pass over the Boss Snow Plow Jump and then tried to push me out of the final turn, but we held out ground and came home second. The Roush powerplant ran great, the ATD trans kept us up front, the BFGoodrich tires were awesome, and of course the Skyjacker engineered suspension made the Ford F-150 easy to drive today.”

Look for Scott Taylor to race for the win in Round 4 of the World Series of Off-Road Racing Tour 2007.
