Few drivers enter the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals presented by Motion Raceworks with more momentum than Jimmy Taylor. The Tennessee-based wheelman stunned the sport in recent weeks by unleashing doorslammer world-record performances: a jaw-dropping 3.387 seconds at 240.29 mph in the eighth mile and a blistering 5.114-second quarter-mile run. Now, with the Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service set to kick off Dec. 5-7 at Bradenton Motorsports Park, Taylor arrives as one of the most intriguing threats in a loaded 80-plus-car Pro Mod field.<\/p>\n

The Snowbirds will again serve as the opening chapter of the three-race Winter Series, and for Taylor, simply being part of that lineup carries significant meaning. After missing the field at all three races last year, he\u2019s determined to prove he belongs in Pro Mod\u2019s most exclusive fields come race day.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, I raced three races and didn\u2019t even qualify,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cTo qualify is definitely a huge deal. We ran a 3.645 and had to go home. I feel like we\u2019re definitely getting in the show. I\u2019m not as worried about qualifying this year because we\u2019ve put so much work and time to get in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taylor is also one of the drivers eligible for the new Elite Motorsports Million, a $1,000,000 bonus awaiting anyone who can sweep all three Winter Series events. It\u2019s the most ambitious incentive ever attached to Pro Modified racing, and Taylor knows he\u2019s entering the Snowbirds with the best-performing car he\u2019s ever had. But he also recognizes there\u2019s a long list of serious contenders standing in his way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe competition is definitely what draws me in,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cIt\u2019s the baddest group of Pro Mod guys to ever touch a steering wheel. I think it\u2019s the biggest deal. It\u2019s what everybody strives to be in. If you\u2019re a Pro Mod racer, you want to be invited to the Winter Series. You\u2019ve made it in the Pro Mod world if you\u2019re invited to this race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the Snowbirds, the 2025\/2026 Winter Series will continue with the U.S. Street Nationals presented by M&M Transmission, Jan. 23\u201325, 2026; and the World Series of Pro Mod, Feb. 26\u201328, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

While Taylor is a relative newcomer to Pro Mod and the Winter Series, his tuner, Carl Stevens Jr., is not. In 2018, Stevens won the second World Series of Pro Mod when it was held at Bandimere Speedway outside Denver, Colorado. Though a variety of factors separate that race and the WSOPM at its new home on Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast, Stevens brings experience and confidence to the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel really good going into this three-race series,\u201d Stevens said. \u201cWe went and ran the Yellowbullet Nationals in legal trim. We went 3.538 at 224 mph there. To my knowledge, I don\u2019t think anybody\u2019s been quicker or faster in a legal Pro Mod car, so we\u2019re going into the Winter Series feeling like we\u2019ve got a little performance edge here. We feel like we should be super competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n
