Tayler Malsam on His First NASCAR Daytona Race: “I’m really excited to get my first NASCAR start at Daytona. I ran the ARCA race at Daytona last year, so I have some experience drafting on the track. Daytona is such a famous track and it’s always fun to race at. I’m excited to be with Randy Moss Motorsports – we have great equipment that is capable of winning. It is going to be a good time on Friday night.”
Tayler Malsam on His 2009 Goals: “Our goal for this year is to come out from the start and contend for top-10 runs. The top-10 runs will turn into top-five runs, and then we can be a contender for wins. We definitely want to win at least one race during the season and of course claim the Raybestos Rookie of the Year award.”
Tayler Malsam on Driving for Randy Moss Motorsports: “It’s an honor to drive for owners like Randy Moss and David Dollar. They both have accomplished so much in their careers – of course with Randy in the NFL and David in racing. Randy knows the adrenalin that you get as an athlete right before your event starts, and David knows what it takes on the ownership side to be competitive. I have a great group of guys around me, including my crew chief Doug Wolcott, the best equipment from Toyota, and we are going to have a very successful year.”
