–impressed as expected, qualifying fourth in the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
Accustomed to the forceful but respectful driving standards in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship where excessive contact can easily ruin one’s race, Taylor quickly learned that in NASCAR’s Cup series, its robust new cars also serve as excellent battering rams.“The amount of contact and how strong those cars are…the level of hit that the car can take…we would have been out of a sports car race probably 12 times,” Taylor surmised. “It is honestly insane how strong the cars are.
“On restarts, I made a couple of driving errors early in the race that I'd say pushed us back into the middle of the pack where we probably shouldn't have been. I don't think I've ever done any restarts in a sports car race, even at the end of a race, and had anywhere near the aggression or contact that we had. It was insane.”
