“I’m really excited to run Yakima for the first time in what feels like forever” said Tayler. “We had fun running with the World of Outlaws down in Tulare and it will be fun to race against the locals again. I know crew chief Shane Anderson and Brent will have a fast hot rod for me!”
Malsam made 12 starts with the Nascar Camping World Truck Series in 2014, scoring his career best second place finish on October 18th at Talladega where he led 18 laps.
