Ricky Taylor

Ricky Scott Taylor (born August 3, 1989) is an American professional racing driver, most notably in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

His career highlights include an IMSA Series Championship in 2017, as well as marquee wins at the Daytona 24, 12 Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans.

Later, Taylor joined Doran's team to participate in the final six races of the season with a Dallara-Ford, earning a fifth-place finish with Burt Frisselle.

Later, he contested the Gold Coast 600 of V8 Supercars in a Holden Commodore from Garry Rogers Motorsport alongside Greg Ritter; however, he had a frightening rollover several hundred metres after the start whilst trying to avoid two stricken cars.

Taylor became a driver in the Spirit of Daytona Racing for the 2013 Rolex Sports Car Series season, teaming with Richard Westbrook.

Taylor and Castroneves won the 2020 WeatherTech SportsCar DPi Drivers' Championship, after finishing 8th at the season finale at the 12 Hours of Sebring.

In his first-ever standing start, he managed only 200m before he rolled over a car that had stalled on the grid, totalling his #33 Holden VE Commodore and resigning himself and team-mate Greg Ritter to the sidelines for the rest of the weekend.
