Sports Car Racing Legend Makes NASCAR Return

What’s Happening?

IMSA legend Jordan Taylor will make his return to NASCAR this weekend with Spire Motorsports in the Craftsman Truck Series race at Lime Rock Park.

• The 34-year-old Taylor will drive Spire Motorsports’ No. 7 truck, one of the team’s two trucks, in which they enter a rotating door of drivers. He will be the fifth different driver to pilot the No. 7 and the 16th different driver in Spire’s Truck Series program this season.
• Taylor currently races for Wayne Taylor Racing in IMSA’s GTP class, where he is tenth in the standings. Taylor is a 27-time winner in the  IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship but is no stranger to NASCAR.
• In 2023, Taylor was tabbed to fill in for the injured Chase Elliott at Circuit of the Americas. In his NASCAR Cup Series debut, Taylor qualified fourth but finished 24th. After that, Taylor made two NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at Portland and the Charlotte Roval with Kaulig Racing, scoring a career-best finish of 16th in the latter of the two.
• This weekend, Lime Rock Park, a 1.530-mile road course in Lakeville, Connecticut, will host its first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race. Taylor has won at the track twice, once in the NASCAR Rolex Grand-Am Sports Car Series in 2012 and in IMSA in 2021.
