| Malsam splits with Tri-Star |
"All of us at TriStar
Motorsports appreciate what Tayler has done for our race team this year,"
said Tri-Star team owner Mark Smith. "Tayler did a great job for us and we
wish him nothing but the best of luck as he explores future opportunities in
this sport. I think it is really important for us as a team to set our sights
on the future and take the appropriate steps in that direction."
2002 NASCAR Camping World
Truck Series Champion and current TriStar Motorsports driver, Mike Bliss, will
pilot the #19 Toyota at Dover International Speedway this weekend. Jeff Green,
the 2000 Nationwide Series Champion, will fill in for Bliss in TriStar's #44 Nationwide
Series entry. The team will make future announcements on driver and sponsor
lineups for the remainder of the season at a later date.
TriStar Motorsports also announced that Hal Martin will run a couple races this season and compete full-time next season. I thought that either Bliss or Green would be the odd man out thanks to the "four full-time cars" rule, but it looks like Malsam is out instead. He'd been running a blank car with stickers on it the last few weeks, so I can't say I'm surprised by this. Hope he finds a new ride soon because I thought he did very well in his first full-time Nationwide season.
