IMSA champion Jordan Taylor to make NASCAR Truck Series debut at Lime Rock

“I’m eager to join Spire Motorsports for the LiUNA 150,” Taylor said in a statement. “I have spoken with a few members of the team for a few years now, so it’s great things have finally come together. I know it’s going to be tough jumping into the series mid-season, but I know I am joining one of the top teams in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.

“Our Gainbridge Chevrolet Silverado will for sure be competitive, I just hope I can adapt to the truck quickly on the short weekend. Lime Rock Park is a track I know really well, but obviously all my experience around there is in much different types of cars, so I’m looking forward to the new challenge.”

Spire confident in Jordan Taylor’s chances at Lime Rock

Taylor is one of the most accomplished road racers in motorsports. He currently competes full-time for Wayne Taylor Racing in the No. 40 Cadillac V-Series.R GTP in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Series. Taylor has two titles in both the Prototype (2013, ’17) and GTLM (2020, ’21) categories. Taylor’s resume is complete with overall victories in the Rolex 24 At Daytona (2017, ’19), 12 Hours of Sebring (2017, ’24) and Petit Le Mans (2014, ’18).

“Jordan Taylor’s body of work speaks for itself,” Spire co-owner Jeff Dickerson said. “His accomplishments at the global level are more than impressive so we’re obviously thrilled to have Jordan drive our No. 7 Gainbridge Chevy Silverado this weekend at Lime Rock Park. This is also a great opportunity to connect with our friends at Wayne Taylor Racing and shine a bit of a spotlight on the TWG Motorsports family.

“There is no doubt Wayne and Jordan set a very high standard when it comes to road racing and can only help us be better. Expectations are high and, collectively, we’re looking forward to the challenge.”

The No. 7 truck has been a winner for Spire this season. Kyle Busch won with the truck at EchoPark Speedway (Atlanta), while Carson Hocevar took the checkered flag at Kansas Speedway.
