Two Straight For Gary Taylor In Soonerland
ASCS Sooner Region
SOUTH COFFEYVILLE, Okla. — Gary Taylor racked up his second-consecutive American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region triumph Saturday night at Mid-America Speedway.
Piloting Mike and Megan Eubanks’ Wesmar-powered Tel-Star Communications No. 5* Triple X, Taylor led flag to flag, surviving a skirmish in lapped traffic along the way.
“I made a move to keep up my momentum and I got into Danny Smith and turned him around,” Taylor explained. “I feel bad for doing that, but when you get out in front, you don’t know if anyone is close so you just try and keep your speed going.”
Taylor survived that encounter and led the rest of the way, with Jamie Passmore finishing second.
Kolt Walker, Brian McClelland and Michael Brown rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Gary Taylor, Jamie Passmore, Kolt Walker, Brian McClelland, Michael Brown, Matt Covington, Sheldon Barksdale, Joe Wood, Jr., Travis Jenkins, Justin Melton, Forrest Sutherland, Danny Smith, Earnest Jennings, Zack Beeler, Sherman Davis, Rafe Essary, Rick Barksdale, Kerry McAlister.
