Tripp Gaylord on fire

 
Tripp is ok.
 
During his first practice ever at Colorado National speedway (CNS) in a legend car, Tripp Gaylords car had an oil line break and the car ignited into flames.  Tripp did not panic, he remained focused, drove the car up out of the racing line and stopped the car right where the safety workers wait to respond to incidents on the track. Because Tripp stopped in this location it allowed the safety workers to respond within seconds of him stopping the car and while the crews got the fire out Tripp climbed out of the car to safety.  
 
He was able to get the oil line repaired, clean off the car and race in a heat race later that day,  unfortunatly the car had another mechanical problem that kept him from starting the main event 
Tripp handled the entire weekend especially the fire incident like a pro.
 
He will be racing again this weekend at cns

RYAN GAYLORD WINS FIRST IMCA MODIFIED MAIN EVENT

B.S.T. DEVELOPMENT DRIVER RYAN GAYLORD WINS FIRST IMCA MODIFIED MAIN EVENT

Broomfield, CO—The Blood Sweat and Tears (B.S.T.) Series development driver “Flyin” Ryan Gaylord picked up his first ever IMCA Modified feature event win Sunday afternoon at Phillips county Raceway. The win came a night after breaking while dominating the Jim Shelton Memorial Race at I-76 Speedway the night before.

Gaylord finished fourth in his heat race and lined up on the second row for the 20-lap feature. Gaylord jumped up to second in the early stages of the race and chased down leader James Krehmeyer. Gaylord passed Krehmeyer on the outside on lap 15 and held off John Hansen the final few laps for the big win.

“The last lap, felt like it was never going to end”, Gaylord explained. Gaylord continued “This one is for Jeff (Berard), and I need to thank everyone including my parents, Joe Bellm, my brother Tripp, Tony Berard, Brandon Glenn, Rod Glenn, and everyone else who has helped me get here”.

“A main event win is checked off Ryan’s goal list, the next goal is to win a BST Series race, and I see that being in the near future,” Ryan’s mentor Joe Bellm of the BST Driver Development program mentioned.

Ryans next race will be on Sunday July 3 on the incredible Belleville High Banks track in Belleville, KS.
