BAPS Motor Speedway announced it has banned Taylor Farlling following his actions at Port Royal Speedway.

At Port Royal Speedway during the Limited Late Models feature race on June 28th for the 14th Annual Blue Collar Classic, Dillan Stake made contact with Ryan Zook coming out of turn 4. Stake got nearly completely perpendicular to the track, but was able to save it.

Farlling attempted to take advantage of Stake’s mistake and pass him down the front stretch. Stake was able to stay on his inside, but he appeared to make another mistake and hopped the inside of the wall in turn 1. The contact with the wall sent Stake’s car into Farlling, who appeared to manage it initially, but coming out of turn 2 he was unable to keep it straight and ended up spinning in front of the entire field. He was eventually struck by Eric Irvin.

After the wreck ended, Farlling drove around the track in the opposite direction and attempted to ram his car into Stake. However, he missed and struck the outside wall. Farlling would not be denied his revenge as he then drove down the front stretch and into turn 4 where he did his best Monster Jam impression by ramming and driving up onto Stake’s hood. He did not stop there. He backed it off his hood and then ran over his left front fender.

Stake then quickly exited his car and began throwing his hands at Farlling, who remained in the cockpit of his vehicle. Stake was eventually pulled away from Farlling by track officials, and the two began exchanging words when Farlling climbed from his car.

Farlling was disqualified for his actions the night of the race. The track then announced a huge penalty to him on July 7th. It posted on Facebook, “Port Royal Speedway has issued a formal suspension to driver Taylor Farlling following the on-track incident that took place during competition at the track on Saturday, June 28, 2025.”

It explained, “After a thorough review of the events and in accordance with Port Royal Speedway’s Personal Conduct Rules, it was determined that Mr. Farlling used his race car in an aggressive and dangerous manner, violating the track’s standards for driver safety and sportsmanship. The incident involved actions deemed by track officials as using a race car as a weapon — an egregious offense that the speedway takes with the utmost seriousness.”

From there, it announced that Farlling was “banned from all racing activity at Port Royal Speedway for the remainder of the 2025 season and the entirety of the 2026 season.” It also shared that he was issued a fine although the amount was not disclosed, but it must be paid at the start of the 2027 season if he wants to compete. The fine will be donated to the York County Racing Club’s Injured Driver’s Fund.

Additionally, Farlling “must meet with the track’s race committee following the conclusion of the 2026 season to determine if reinstatement is appropriate.”

The track shared that the penalties were “made public not only to clarify the severity of the situation but also to reinforce the speedway’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment for all competitors, crew members, and fans.”

Following Port Royal’s penalty, BAPS Motor Speedway announced they would be suspending Farlling from its facility as well. It posted on Facebook, “BAPS Motor Speedway, after conversations with Port Royal Speedway, will uphold the recent suspension of Taylor Farlling following the on-track incident that took place during competition at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, June 28, 2025.”

The track confirmed, “He is banned from all racing activity at BAPS Motor Speedway for the remainder of the 2025 season and the entirety of the 2026 season.”

General Manager Kolten Gouse stated, “Our top priority is safety at our speedway not just for our competitors but for our fans as well as our employees. We continue to support our fellow speedways and uphold the suspension at BAPS Motor Speedway.”
