Taylor Brings New Associate to Sport

ANAHEIM, CA — Dennis Taylor has two primary goals in mind as he preps for the 44th Annual Auto Club Finals. The first is to continue his sub 5.60-second pace developed earlier this season, when he posted a career best of 5.54 seconds at Sonoma. His second goal is to provide a favorable impression for first-time marketing partner, BTOSports.com, a company that provides online parts and accessories sales for the motorcycle off-road and street markets. The association with Taylor’s Funny Car is the company’s first foray into non-traditional markets.

Taylor noted, “When you analyze it, NHRA demographics are perfect for this company. Countless NHRA fans also own motorcycles, and BTOSports.com has recently expanded its efforts to the street cycle market, so I feel we can increase the company’s exposure by introducing them to NHRA fans.” Based in Thousand Oaks, California, BTO sells everything related to cycling, as well as apparel and safety equipment. And though they’re not strangers to the competitive racing environment, Taylor looks forward to welcoming them to America’s Original Extreme Sport – NHRA Championship Drag Racing.

A whopping 32 cars are pre-entered for the 16-car qualified field in this season-ending battle, so quick times will be commonplace. Crew chief, Terry Morrow said, “We’ve raced here many times and we know the track will be good. We intend to go for it, just like we did in the middle of the season when we hit our performance stride. We want this one badly.” Taylor’s entire team will be working extra hard to continue the momentum they gained at the end of the summer.

Be sure to tune in to ESPN2 for the Lucas Oil Sportsman coverage from the Auto Club Finals on Sunday, November 23 at 12:00pm Eastern Time.
