Ricky Taylor, Jordan’s brother who likewise competes in IMSA. Jordan would probably tell you he’s faster, honestly.

Just checked, it's at the 1:11:50 mark, takes them 4 or 5 mins to get thru the whole story.

Hour and a half of sim time...it'd take me that long just to get strapped in

If I was Kaulig, I would be talking to Jordan, Haley isn't cutting it in up.

Might as well go with someone who has following outside of NASCAR & has a chance at RC's.

Not only is Jordan Taylor a badass wheelman, he’s in the best car in the series on road courses for the last 4 or 5 years. He has a good chance of a top 5 finish.
The F1 boys look lost while he’s out there turning in some heaters. I expected more from Raikkonen especially in qualifying. Trackhouse won the race last year and were fast at every road course. Tell me again how F1 drivers are so much better than everyone else.

Kimi and Jenson are also past their prime in their 40s and have mostly been out of racing for a while. To go to an extremely different car at that point in their career is a huge adjustment. I don’t think it should be held against them.
We’ve seen guys like Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon try sports cars within the past six or seven years and it didn’t go too hot either. It takes a lot to jump into a new specialty and be quick right away.

Road courses and short tracks.
I mention his age only to indicate if he hasn't been actively looking for a Cup ride by age 31, he may not be interested. I agree he'd stand a good chance.

The lack of experience in stock cars usually can't make up for the additional experience on road courses.
Jordan is an exception but the cars he's been driving are much closer to Cup cars than what Kimi and Jenson have been driving.
The reduced amount of practice isn't helpful for ringers either.

What 31 is the magic age or something, like Cinderella's slipper? A decent ride in Cup is no comparison to IMSA on any level money wise.

Never mind. I'm not making my point clear.

Interesting that with the departure of KB, Interstate spreads the support around.

They were already doing that last year when he was there. I know they did at least one race on the #19 and didn't they do one #20 as well?

If Jordan can survive getting used up in turn 1 on restarts (I don't trust the regulars, they already use each other up with zero hesitation) and not speed on pit road he'll have a shot.
