Tayler Malsam hopes for solid finish in Kentucky Nationwide race


In the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Tayler Malsam finished 13that Kentucky Speedway. He finished 35th after an accident in the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Now in his first full season of NNS, Malsam arrives for his second NNS start at Kentucky Speedway ranked 11th in the NNS championship after fourteen races. Fans can tune into the Feed the Children 300 race on Friday, June 29 at 7:00 pm ET on ESPN2.


Tayler Comments:

On Road America

“We were disappointed with the way things turned out at Road America. We had the G-OIL Toyota Camry up to 13th in the early going, but ran into trouble and lost three laps. The TriStar team did a good job getting us back out there and we salvaged what we could.”

On Kentucky:
“The mile and a half tracks are a big part of the NNS championship. We need to run well and get good finishes if we are going to be in the top-10 at the end of the season. We had a nice run in the G-OIL Toyota at Las Vegas (started 17th, finished 16th) and had a good run going at Texas until we lost the right front tire. I think that we are ready to put a whole race together and get a good finish.”

Rick Carpenter comments:
“Tayler, Eddie Pardue and the G-OIL crew have been working really hard and we are starting to come up with a package that will help us take the next step. Kentucky could be the right place for that to happen.”
