Wins Two-Out-Of-Three Weekend Events
Cave City, Arkansas (08/19/19) – Jeff Taylor continued his recent hot streak over the weekend with a pair of feature wins in his Industrial Electric No. 5 Spur Bar/ Wehrs Machine/ Provence Construction/ Shaw Race Car Modified. The dual $1,000 triumphs came at Batesville Motor Speedway during the Modified portion of the 27th annual COMP Cams Topless 100 weekend.
“Once again, we had a heck of a car every time that we hit the track. We won on Friday and Saturday, and if not for losing power steering on Thursday night we might’ve been able to sweep all three shows,” Taylor said. “Not only are we getting faster every time that we hit the track, but all of our Shaw Race Cars clients are progressively gaining speed. I couldn’t be more excited right now.”
Thursday night saw Jeff Taylor invade Batesville Motor Speedway (Batesville, Arkansas) to kick off three-straight nights of action in the IMCA Modified portion of the Topless 100. In a field of 24 entries, Taylor secured his spot into the opening night feature with a third-place finish in his heat race. Rolling off 14th on the feature grid, Jeff quickly worked his way into the Top 5 before he power steering issues forced him to retire from the feature.
Returning on Friday evening, Taylor started the night with a heat race victory, which positioned him 10th on the starting grid for the A-Main. Overtaking the lead by the fourth lap, Jeff Taylor drove away from the field to secure his fifth win of the season. Mikey Bell, Ashton Wilkey, Brandon Smith, and Ricky Engles Jr. followed him across the line. He earned $1,000 for his triumph.
Wrapping up the Topless 100 weekend on Saturday night, Jeff earned the fourth-starting spot for the feature via a heat-race win. Wheeling his way to the front by the third lap, Taylor streaked to his second $1,000 win as many nights and sixth overall on the season.
