Riding Impressive Season Start, Ryan Paul on Cusp of Breakthrough
National Anthem Samantha LaPorta Pace, FL

Unwrapping presents around the Christmas tree are the stuff childhood memories are made of. No matter if you celebrated somehow Santa always found you. For Mobile late model driver Ryan Paul, most of his Christmases as a kid and well into his adolescence were spent at stock car racing’s version of the North Pole. “Every year, we’d be driving to Daytona Beach,” Paul fondly recalled, traveling with his father, Willie, for the start of each go-kart racing season. “There were races all week with anywhere from 2,800 to 3,500 entries every year.” Ryan Paul, 32, won’t have to go through nearly as many drivers Friday when the Allen Turner Pro Late Model series returns. Paul, who qualified and finished third in the PLM opener in March, enjoyed testing his mettle against eventual winner Casey Roderick because his biggest areas for improvement were on full display. “In years past, I always told my crew that we were gonna ride for the first 50 (laps) and see what we had at the end,” Paul said. “We qualified so good, that I wanted to run with that No. 18 (Roderick), and I didn’t care what I burnt up. “I found out the hard way. But, it makes you work on own program. After 50 laps running that hard, problems reveal themselves. It has made us work harder on the longer runs. We have to be better because that 18 runs wide open. He gets it done.” (Cont on our web page)

After Hoisting a Pro Truck Crown, Jorgensen Eager to Make PLM Debut Taylor Jorgensen had to wing it. She was at Five Flags Speedway’s awards banquet back in early January, and the Georgia driver was uncharacteristically unprepared. In her debut season in a full-bodied vehicle, the Legends car wunderkind won three Pro Truck features en route to her Pro Trucks track championship. “I talked about how blessed I was for an incredible season,” Jorgensen said, “and how my plans for this year were still up in the air, but that I wanted to come back to Five Flags Speedway and continue to showcase my talents. It was a speech from the heart, and wasn’t written down.” Little did she know that as she spoke her humble words that she had an audience of one in Bobby Reuse, the Alabama short-tracker who owns a Pro Late Model. “He had no idea who I was that night and I didn’t know who he was,” Jorgensen said. “He said my speech touched him. He wrote his phone number on napkin and we went from there. It’s a cool story, just something so pure in the connection between the two of us.”(Continued on our web site.)
