Scott Gaylord from Lakewood, Colo., blew a tire and finished 36th driving
the #52 Hooters Casino Chevy in the NASCAR Nationwide Sam’s Town 300 race at
Las Vegas Speedway.

“On lap 67, I was going through corner one full throttle when the right
front tire blew.  I slammed into the wall hard enough to see stars.  I told
the team that the car was out of the race. I feel so bad for the Means team
that the car is pretty much totalled,” said Gaylord after the wreck.

Scott wasn’t the only Gaylord racing last weekend.  On Sunday, Scott and his
wife, Donna, went from the airport upon thier return from Las Vegas directly
to I-76 Speedway in Fort Morgan, Colo., to watch Tripp Gaylord, 14, win his
heat race in the Stock Car Econo class while 19-year-old brother Ryan
finished seventh in the Modified Main Event to finish off the winter series
events.

race
at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana CA. He was driving the #52 Means Chevy.

Ryan Gaylord 19, Scott’s son, worked over the wall durring the pit stops as
front tire carrier.

“At about lab 20 of the 150 lap race we lost at least one cylinder and about
1000 rpm on the long straights. That killed our changes for a good finish in
the # 52 Means Chevy”, said Gaylord

Ryan Gaylor at Highway 92 Speedway

Ryan Gaylord from Golden, Colorado finished second in his first ever heat race at Highway 92 Speedway near Gearing, Nebraska on Saturday night as he drove the Mr. Badwrench Super Stock Chevrolet. After steady advancement toward the front Ryan made a last lap pass to finish second in the fifteen lap heat race for qualifying position in the main event.

Starting Mid pack in the 50 lap shootout race Gaylord learned fast as he was introduced to three wide racing right off the bat. “I was impressed with his abilities to look ahead and avoid so many accidents,” said proud father Scott Gaylord, “I’ve seen many experienced racers that don’t do that.” Ryan ran in the top ten most of the race when on lap 40 his night ended early as he drove the car into the infield to avoid yet another accident in his path but another car lost control and drove right into the back of Gaylords’ car breaking his axle. “I was clear of the wreck then BAM!” said a disappointed Gaylord, it was obvious he hated to see his night end early with a damaged car.

Darrel Smith, a veteran Super Stock driver and the owner of the Mr. Badwrench Chevrolet said he was impressed with how well Ryan drove in his first Super Stock race.
