Title: Jim Taggart Jr
Post by: Bogeyman on July 03, 2025, 04:21:18 PM

Haven't seen Jim Taggart Jr at Monticello in weeks now. Also noticed Shane Taggart is driving for Gary Messenger more now, which Jim used to drive for.  Anyone know what is going on with Jim Jr.?

There is a golf fundraiser being held for him. It mentions cancer without providing further details.

That's a very thoughtful, well put together fundraiser. 

It's really nice to have friends and people who look out for you and others. 

There are so many fair-weather who just vanish when the going isn't good.

I haven't followed Monti or that circuit, drivers for decades, so I googled Jim to get an update, and saw an Article pop up about his recent 6000th win, very nice, and this "Taggart, Petrelli take top honors at Monticello", I had to do a double take lol.

This fucking cancer!  GL JT JR.!

Sorry to hear about Jim's current situation - hope he recovers quickly and gets back to racing soon!
