Ricky Taylor must like the Millville track as for the second year in a row he turns the fastest lap in the SunTrust Racing Corvette to capture the pole for Sunday’s Grand-Am Rolex Series race. His lap of 1 minute, 15.091 seconds for a speed of 107.869 mph on the 14 turn New Jersey road course.

“I put a lot of pressure on myself coming into this one,” commented Taylor. “I put a lot of time into looking at data, looking at what Max is doing and what I’m doing, and I tried to put it all together in qualifying.”
