Frankie Taylor described his semi-finals eliminations exit two weekends ago in St. Louis as the one that got away. Friday evening in Columbus, he was fishing again and the big one didn't get away.

Taylor, of Dickinson, Texas, took the Pro Extreme top spot with a 3.749 at 202.52 during the ADRL Ohio Drags.

Frankie Taylor described his semi-finals eliminations exit two weekends ago in St. Louis as the one that got away. Friday evening in Columbus, he was fishing again and the big one didn't get away.

Taylor, of Dickinson, Texas, took the Pro Extreme top spot with a 3.749 at 202.52 during the ADRL Ohio Drags.

“It actually ran pretty good through the middle,” Taylor explained. “It was a little soft on the starting line; it only went a .974 on the 60' which has been pretty good for us lately, but with Scruggs running .940's we need to pick up a little more. We were hoping for a .955 or a .957.”

Taylor entered the day unsure of what kind of conditions the National Trail Raceway surface would present.
 
“The track actually looked green up there when we looked at it yesterday,” Taylor said. “We actually went faster than we were trying to go, we were trying to go .85 and the track actually held the .82 pretty good. We went back and stepped up and it ran a 3.81 and we stepped it up again and it went that .74.”
