Ricky Taylor, Happy with Season, Looking For Mid-Ohio Repeat (AUDIO)

When you grow up with a father that races around the world, and is good doing it. You are likely to end up in a race car. That was the case for both Ricky Taylor and his brother Jordan. Wayne Taylor Racing has been a staple in the Sports Car world. Jordan continues to race for his father and has won two out of the last three at Daytona. For the elder Taylor brother, Ricky has branched out and seen success now with Team Penske.

 

Ricky joined me this morning to preview their return to Mid-Ohio where they look to go back to back with his teammate Helio Castroneves. Taylor says they are happy with where the team is at this early point in the season.

Next up for the IMSA Weathertech Sports Car series is a return to home of Team Penske‘s manufacturer, Acura, and the title sponsor of of the Acura Sports Car Challenge. It’s Mid-Ohio.

Ricky Taylor shares his thoughts on the early part of the season, racing at Mid-Ohio and how team drivers decide who qualifies and starts compared to finish a race. Plus more in this one on one with Team Penske driver Ricky Taylor.

If it races, I'll write about it, talk about it or shoot it with a camera. I began pursuing a career in motorsports journalism immediately after attending college at Kent State University. I have hosted multiple Motorsports talk shows, worked in Country Music radio, and now i spend every day on the air in the morning with 1300 and 100.9 WMVO and in the afternoons watching the roadways around Central Ohio for 93.7 WQIO. The excitement and the fans make everything I put out there worth while, it's been an exciting 15 years having covered everything from the Daytona 500 to the Rolex 24 and you can find me at pretty much any event run at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. What I like to bring is a look behind the scenes, a look at what and who makes the sport grow. From the guy that welds pieces back at the shop to the host in the tv booth. Everyone has a story and I like to tell it. My main focus here at TPF is looking at the men and women behind the microphone and cameras. My life long goal is to become a member of MRN or PRN Radio and bring the races to you. I hope that what I share now is enjoyable and gives you a unique look in to the world of motorsports. See you at a track soon
