· Tayler Malsam Goes Back to His Road Racing Roots at Road America… Like many in the field for the inaugural NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) race at Road America, Malsam has never raced at the track, but he knows his way around a road course. In 2006, Malsam ran the full Formula TR open-wheel road racing series season, finishing 5th in the point standings.
· Malsam Hopes Road Course History Repeats Itself… 2008 marks the last time Malsam was at a road course in a stock car, and he finished inside the top-5 in his debut performance. That year Malsam finished 3rd after starting 5th in the ARCA Racing Series event at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
· YOUTUBEING His Way to Success… In preparation of his Nationwide Series debut at Road America, Malsam used the social media site, YouTube, to familiarize himself with the track. Malsam said the videos helped him gauge the size and shape of the track, and gave him insight into how other drivers drove the road course. He hopes the video clips, combined with his road racing experience, gives him a competitive edge this weekend
· Dan Stillman to Serve as Crew Chief on the No. 10 at Road America and NHMS… Stillman, who worked with Malsam at Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) as crew chief on his Camping World Truck Series entry, will serve as crew chief on an interim basis while crew chief Stewart Cooper serves a NASCAR assessed penalty. Prior to his time spent at KBM, Stillman served as crew chief on Carl Edwards’s No. 60 Nationwide Series entry in 2009 racking up 7 poles and 5 wins before being swapped to the team’s No. 6 entry. The veteran crew chief has also spent time at Dale Earnhardt Inc., Michael Walthrip Racing, and Kevin Harvick Inc.

Malsam on road racing
“I really enjoy road racing. I did a lot of it at the beginning of my career in the Formula TR Series, but those cars are a lot lighter and handle much differently than the stock cars. I’m excited to get on a road course in the No. 10 Iron Horse Toyota, and see how the big cars handle out there. We have had two really good cars in my first two races with Braun, and the guys have been working so hard I know we are going to have another great race car at Road America.”
