Steward Baylor (left) will be leaving SRT Rac-
ing and fielding his own team with brother
Grant (below) with support from KTM.
“For next year we’ve obviously got KTM sup-
port.,” Steward told On The Pegs. “Grant will
be moving to a KTM with me. He’s ridden the
Husky this past year and Antti (Kallonen) took
him back with open arms. We’re going to be
back with KTM and Tely Energy is the team that
we’ll be riding for. It’s Todd Ely, who is based
out of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area and
he owns a natural gas business. He’s got a youth team right now
and he wanted to get some heavy hitters in there. He actually
first contacted me after my win at Big Buck this year. The offers
starting coming in this year really early. We were getting offers
in June for next year. Todd was coming down to South Caro-
lina the following week to go to the beach, so we drove down
there and hung out and kind of talked everything over. At first it
was supposed to be just me. He ended up just bringing it to my
attention that he’d like to have both
of the brothers. It was appealing to
him. I talked to Grant, and everything
just kind of fell into place since then.
We’ll both be with those guys. I don’t
necessarily know who all the other
sponsors there are going to be, but I
think right now we’re going to have a
really good setup for next year.”
