Taylor, 21-year-old son of team owner and three-time sports car racing champion Wayne Taylor, joined Max Angelelli as co-driver for the 2010 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series season. He debuted with the SunTrust team at the 2008 Rolex 24 At Daytona, where he led laps in the early going and contributed to a top-five finish in the prestigious race. In 2008 and 2009, Taylor made 19 Rolex Series starts driving prototypes for Texas-based Beyer Racing and Cincinnati-based Doran Racing with three top-five and 12 top-10 finishes, including 33 laps led in 2009.
In 2010 and 2011, Taylor hit the ground running with the SunTrust team, co-driving with Angelelli to four Rolex Series victories and qualifying on the pole eight times, including six races in a row during the 2011 season — one shy of the series record. Taylor led the most laps of all Rolex Series drivers in 2011 with 311, and he led laps at all 12 races to extend his streak to 17 consecutive races, a series record. He and Angelelli finished second in the championship in both 2010 and 2011 to Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas.
