Taylor went from go karts to US formula car scene by passing the local racing. The family is involved in local car dealership . sounds familiar, hmmmmm.

Chris is one of the best people I've had the pleasure of meeting in this sport, a true gentleman. I wish him the best of luck.

That's one of the reasons I'm continually impressed with Darryl O'Young. He seems to be able to attract serious outside sponsorship and is a fantastic driver at the same time. One weekend he's running DTM in the Czech Republic, and the next weekend he's home going to church with his mom!

Chris is racing with Taylor and Mike Miller and a craftstman truck driver. Taylor raced with us at Thunderhill in 2009 and ran with Carlos in Continental Tire last year...

You need to go to the official Grand Am web site. They have live timing and scoring for the sessions and an archived section for practices and qualifying already run.

Looks like you're kicking ass so far! Speed broadcast is off for the day, sucks to be missing the best part!

Looks like they were out at lap 328 - another news site said engine and transmission failure but no official word on their site or facebook yet.

eric lux's site says transmission failure around 12 hour mark - too bad :(
