NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Jeff Taylor’s latest victory, the 45th of his career, came in Gainesville after he drove past fellow veteran Kenny Miele in the Stock final. Taylor was good when he needed to be and admittedly lucky on a couple of other occasions. He gave up a hundredth of a second to Miele on the starting line but finished the job with a 9.816 on his 9.80 dial after Miele missed his prediction by six-hundredths. It was Taylor’s first national event win since the end of the 2014 season, when he claimed the Super Stock title in Pomona.
