Southside, WV (June 2026) -- That was the case for Scott Taylor at the Outlaw Syndicate Racing Series Small Tire race at Southside Dragway in Southside, WV. After battling through a tough field of competitors, Taylor drove his way to the winner's circle and collected the event's $10,000 top prize.
As if the win wasn't enough, Taylor also made a record-setting pass during the event, establishing a new Small Tire track record at Southside Dragway. The official number has not yet been released, but the run quickly became one of the biggest talking points of the weekend.
Taylor's car was on point from the start, showing the speed and consistency needed to survive a stacked Small Tire field. Round after round, he continued to answer the call, ultimately earning his spot in the final and sealing the deal when it mattered most.
Anyone who follows Small Tire racing knows just how competitive the category has become. Winning races is difficult. Setting a track record while doing it is even tougher.
