Taylor Malsam NCWTS Preview: Iowa Speedway

America’s Heartland…After a weekend away from the racetrack, Tayler Malsam and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) head to Iowa Speedway for a night of short-track racing in the Hawkeye State. Having one previous NCWTS start at Iowa Speedway, along with three NASCAR Nationwide Series starts, Malsam hopes his prior experience will help him and his Turner Scott Motorsports (TSM) team as the No. 32 Outerwall Chevrolet makes its sixth start this season.

 

This Week’s Silverado…Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. and the No. 32 TSM team will unload a familiar chassis this weekend in Iowa. Driven to a top-10 finish by Malsam in the NCWTS return to Gateway Motorsports Park, TSM-231 was also driven to a top-10 finish by Ben Rhodes in his NCWTS debut at Martinsville Speedway this year.  

 

Let’s Go…This week at Iowa Speedway, the No. 32 will sport the colors of Outerwall for the sixth of 12 races this year. As the company that brought consumers Redbox® entertainment, Coinstar® money services, and ecoATM® electronics recycling kiosks, Outerwall is leading the next generation of automated retail.With more than 20 years of experience, the company mission is to create a better everyday by delivering breakthrough kiosk experiences that delight consumers and generate revenue for retailers.

 

Previous Race Recap…In his second-career NCWTS start at Kentucky Speedway, Malsam brought home a 13th-place finish in the No. 32 Outerwall Chevrolet after battling for track position throughout the 150-lap race. Malsam’s weekend got off to a good start as the 25-year-old landed a 12th-place starting position for the UNOH 225. Throughout the race, Malsam remained within the top 15 and held position through multiple cautions. As the final caution arose on lap 140, the field prepared for a final 10-lap shootout. Malsam restarted in the 11th position, but fell two spots in the final laps, ultimately finishing 13th.

The American Ethanol 200 can be seen live on Friday, July 11 beginning at 8:00 p.m. EDT on FOX Sports 1.

Tayler Malsam on Racing at Iowa Speedway

“I’m looking forward to racing at Iowa Speedway this weekend. I’ve raced at this track in both the Truck Series and Nationwide Series, so I’m familiar with the layout and the grooves. The finishes my Turner Scott Motorsports team and I have gotten recently aren’t representative of how strong our team is and how capable we are of winning. Hillman has had pretty good success at Iowa. I think we’ve got a good shot at contending for the win this weekend. We’re more determined than ever to prove what we’ve got.”
