Just to refresh your memories some, last May at Batesville's version of a Modified Madness, many thought Shryock had the best car at the $20,000 to win event but wound up a $12,000 2nd after a flat early in the race with his Skyrocket and Randy Timms in a Taylor-Shaw -- currently 5th in USMTS Southern Series points but looking to improve on that next weekend -- was a $10,000 3rd.
Then back in March, it appeared that Jeremy Payne's GRT may have been the fastest at the end but wound up a $4000 2nd at the Mid-America Modified Championship.
But you know who got to the checkered flag first both times? That's right, Peyton Taylor in a Taylor-Shaw (what else would he drive?). Throw in that last August's $6500 to go along with that $8000 MAMC win and I count up $34,500 worth of wins in 3 races for the guy some call "Pedro" and even saw one guy call him "Snake". Not sure about where the nicknames come from for Peyton so I'm just gonna call him fast! Shoot, he started 29th in last year's Madness! Seems like that #01 knows when to go and knows how long he has to go if he's first when the checkers wave.
Just five days away until the first night of action!
Who's got their stuff together and ready to tackle the Batesville Bad Boys, the stars of USMTS and one of the best Modified tracks in America?!!!!!

Just a reminder, don't let weather forecasts scare you of at Batesville. This track has a great record of pulling it off when weather tries to mess up a show. The rocky soil drains well there. Mooney has assured Todd that they will do everything possible to get in a double show on Saturday should Friday rain out. And when he says it, he means it. There was a 60% chance of rain called for on Thursday in Batesville. It's all missed the track so far!
