Now residing in the Tulsa area by way of Colorado and originally Washington State, Gary Taylor picked off a pair of 2007 Midget wins at Warrensburg's Central Missouri Speedway en route to the SMRS Midget championship, adding to previous RMMRA Midget titles as well as an ASCS Rocky Mountain Region sprint car title.  Set to take on most of the ASCS National Tour with car owners Mike and Megan Eubanks in 2008, Taylor shoots for his first Chili Bowl main event after several near-misses in recent years.  Twenty-one of Taylor's 33 career feature wins have come in the Midget ranks.
