He did an excellent job. Qualified 4th!
Welcome to NASCAR!
goodbye pretty boy Chase!!
Aww, did you get bumped at a real race……..
Jordan is a class act. A true racer. Hope he comes back to run another race at some point knowing what he knows now.
Great representative of motorsports!
Corey Lajoie is the man!!!I can't wait til he gets his first win!!!
Cory's one of those guys dude I believe if he was putting top-tier equipment he would tear it up there's a lot of guys who have went through and got placed in low-tier equipment and we never saw their full potential cuz they never dug their way out of it. Everyone should tweet the crap out of Tony Stewart and tell him to put LaJoie in Harvick's car next year
“Via Zoom in the studio” lol 😆
Jordan should race at Watkins Glen or Sonoma. I feel like they're the tamer of the road course races.
This interview just proved that sports cars are for gentlemen, stock cars are for cavemen 😂
Love Jordan Taylor..😊
Smart guy. I'd like to see him get another shot in a cup or xfinity car.
I really like this guy!
There were moments in this interview that illustrated perfectly one of the biggest differences in Nascar vs other racing circuits. Jordan knows the turns and was able to tell you exactly how he drove each turn, but when it came to talk about the other cars in the field he didn't always know who was doing what. In most other racing its moreso of a driver vs track thing. We all go lay down our fastest laps and see who has the most speed. But in Nascar it is tiltted more towards Driver vs Driver. One is not better than the other, though I do see how one could view driver vs track as more pure racing.
And like Corey said they know Jordan won't be racing next week so it was open season. Normally in the driver vs driver context you have to manage driver relationships over 30+ races. "Do I really want to bump this guy off his spot and have him mad at me for the next 30 races?" Much more difficult spot than mad for the next 30 laps.
Brining in “ringers” is stupid and remains so. When has one of the won a race in the last 10 years.
This was fantastic!
GO JORDAN!!
Jordan is a truely gifted race car driver, was very impressed by his speed right off the rip. I would absolutely LOVE to see him at Watkins Glen, the ultimate NASCAR road course, and see what he can do there. I think a top 5 or even a win is very realistic if he in equipment like the 9 car again.
He makes a good point in that you drive that way in IMSA, you’ll be in the garage all day. I’m an Indycar fan but I really like how Cup drivers are learning to enjoy road courses. It’s good racing.
3:10 "I wasn't sure who was hitting all the time, I just knew about halfway through, I started hitting back because I got tired of it"
Corey: "YEESSS!" 😂😂😂
Jordan has driven on an oval. Daytona is an oval with some right turns thrown in. Haha
He drove good race for being thrown into a pool of sharks.
Cool chat. Jordan got so much right and finished the race. I'd say expectations surpassed.
dude can race, no question. You don't become a multi year champion being average.
Jenson had the same experience but seemed to enjoy it. Plus, he's racing a couple more.
