🇺🇸 Taylor Mayhew

Taylor Mayhew is an entry-level professional competing in the ARCA Menards Series, a national single-class stock car championship mixing amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals on the same grid. He drives the No. 17 Toyota for Cook Racing Technologies and began his indexed racing career in 2026, competing across the series' West and main divisions.[1]

Mayhew has made nine starts across three ARCA championships this season, taking a win and two podiums from four outings in the West series. He has raced primarily on ovals, with three of his four West starts on that surface and one on a road course; his four starts in the main ARCA Menards Series have all come on ovals. His performance in the West series, where he secured victory in a photo finish at Las Vegas, stands against a much tighter return to the national series, where he currently sits 29th in the championship standings with more rounds still to come.[2]

Against the company he keeps most regularly, Mayhew typically finishes behind both Carson Brown, a professional with extensive ARCA and Trans-Am experience, and Thomas Annunziata, the 2026 ARCA Menards Series champion. However, he has twice finished ahead of established professional Gabriel Casagrande, an FIA Silver graded driver and two-time Stock Car Pro Series champion, and has also beaten Trevor Huddleston, the 2025 ARCA Menards West champion, twice in their head-to-head meetings.
