Taylor Jorgensen: It’s Three for Me!

When you’re a natural, you can become immune to nerves. Every time Taylor Jorgensen climbs behind the wheel of her Legends car, she has to shoo away butterflies from her stomach.

But once the 20-year-old female driver from Stockbridge, Ga., slides into her Pro Trucks No. 3, a sense of peace washes over Jorgensen and she feels right at home.

“I haven’t been nervous through this whole experience,” she said. “All I can say, is behind the wheel of a truck is the most comfortable I’ve been in a racecar. When you get a driver comfortable, beautiful things happen.”

Jorgensen’s first season in a full-sized stock car of any kind has been a thing of beauty, a sight to behold. She has turned heads by winning her first two Pro Trucks features in as many outings, and hopes to add to a perfect rookie campaign during a 40-lap feature Friday at Five Flags Speedway.

“This is already so different of where I expected this year to go,” said Jorgensen, who was the first female to win a Pro Trucks feature in Pensacola. “We wanted to get some seat time in a full-sized stock car. The goal is completely different now. We want to keep the momen-tum up and try to get a championship at the end of the year.” (Read the rest of the story on our website)

Ahhh...Retirement Finally

Todd Gilliland takes a more subdued approach with his celebrations. Most of all, he eschews the most popular post-race theatrics: the burnout.

“I don’t wanna destroy anything,” said Todd, wise beyond his 16 years of age. “I like to pull the car into Victory Lane and then celebrate. My dad always preached, ‘Act like you’ve been there before and you’re going to be there again.’ It’s something we’ve always done.”

The teenager has done it a lot of it in the last year, including a record stretch of four consecutive wins on the K&N Pro Series that had the sport all abuzz.

Todd Gilliland, son to NASCAR driver David Gilliland, will carry his milestone run into Five Flagss with the Rubber and Specialties 100.

“It’s awesome to be able to get back down to Five Flags,” he said. “You look at the list of all the young guys who’ve won here in recent years. All guys, people like me look up to. You always wanna win at every track you go to. But, Pensacola is definitely one you wanna mark off your list.”

Todd came to the famed half-mile asphalt oval twice last year. The first was to race a Blizzard event and the second was when he failed to qualify for the 48th annual Snowball Derby. (Con’t on our web site).
