Tayla survived not only a rain delay but a total wreckfest in Friday night's race at Florence to finish in the seventh spot. She also fired off a fifth place qualifying effort despite an early round spot on a still damp track. Carnage was the word of the night with multiple cautions for spins and wrecks which we were able to avoid with a complete car that had minor bumps and abrasions. We look foward to next week at Southern National Raceway Park - another first time track for us and also for the driver's meeting which after this weeks mayham should be very colorful by the Allison brothers.

Tayla was able to keep that spot throughout the race even with a few late race cautions and some heavy pressure from the 68 car to finish in the 3rd spot.

TAYLA QUALIFIES FOURTH AND FINISHES SEVENTH
Tayla made her first apperance at the historic track and continued her momentum with a fourth place qualifying effort. The start of the race, however, proved to be challenging for some with a lap two crash that clipped Tayla causing her to spin. Unfortunately, now at the back, Tayla had to race against cars who she had made an effort to qualify in front of because of their lack of patience. This proved true while Tayla was racing hard with the 50 car of Garrett Bunch for several laps, the 60 car of Tyler Speer got impatient after Tayla got to the inside of the 50. He went three wide in turn 3 and with no room for the turn slammed into Tayla's left wheel knocking her toe out and forcing her into the 50 car. Tayla was able to keep her spot but that ended any further advancement. Tayla was very frustrated because she had out qualified the 60 by at least a few tenths and had a much better prepared car.
