Cave City, Arkansas (03/27/12) – Jeff Taylor had a great, season-opening outing in his #5 Industrial Electric/Provence Construction/Taylor Chassis/Mullins Race Engines Open Wheel Modified on Saturday during the 16th Annual IMCA Mid America Modified Championship at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas), when he claimed back-to-back wins in the doubleheader.
With Friday night’s $1,500-to-win event delayed by Mother Nature, a pair of $1,500-to-win shows were held on Saturday afternoon at the 3/8 mile oval. In the afternoon show, Jeff began his afternoon by winning his heat race to lock into the dash. In the dash, he finished second, which locked him into the outside front row starting spot for the feature. As the main event went green Taylor bolted to the lead and never looked back on his way to his first win of the year, which came over Ritchie Tosh, Shawn Walsh, Adam Maple, and Chris Elliott.
In the evening event Jeff finished second in his heat race and second in the dash, which left him starting sixth in the feature. In the main event, he would quickly work his way forward, and once he overtook the leader, Shawn Walsh, Jeff motored away from the field on his way to his second $1,500 win of the afternoon. Walsh, Wayne Brooks, Ritchie Tosh, and Jason Wilkey rounded out the top five.
Jeff would like to thank all of his great sponsors, including Industrial Electric, Provence Construction, and New Vision Graphics, for their support as well his crew members, Jason, Jamel, and Cole.
