Driver Bio

BIO:

Tyler Brown was born in 1998 and is currently going into the 8th grade at Eastview Middle School in Bartlett, IL . Tyler does very well in school but has always had a passion for cars and racing. Tyler currently plays soccer and has tried other sports but his true passion is being in a

racecar out on the track.

Here is the story of how we got into racing. At the age of six Tyler

wanted to play Tackle Football. We signed him up and a few weeks into

it he came to my wife (Laura) and I and said that he did not like it that

it was just not for him. Not being one of those parents that force their

kids into things they do not like we agreed that he could quit. Weeks

had passed and then one day while flipping channels on the TV, Tyler

saw Go Kart racing. He turned to me and said “Dad, that’s what I want

to do!” Like most parents would do, I just laughed and said “yeah right!” Tyler was very persistent and kept bringing up the idea of racing Go Karts. My wife and I decided to entertain the idea and take him out to Concept Haulers Motor Speedway (Norway Speedway at the time) one Saturday to check it out. He was like a kid in a candy store! He was so excited watching the Go Karts go around the track. On the way home from the track we asked Tyler if that is what he really wanted to do. He perked up with excitement and said ”YES!” Laura and I discussed it and decided that we would give it a shot. In Tyler ’s first year racing Go Karts he finished 4th in points and in his 2nd year he won the track Championship. After the 2006 season we decided to look into a much safer means of racing and that is how we ended up in a Mini Cup Car. To our despair we had to take the 2007 race season off to work on funding for our Mini Cup Race Team. We were back to racing for the 2008 season. Tyler did a great job his first year in a Mini Cup Car and finished 9th in the overall point’s standings out of 19 other drivers. In his second and third year Tyler finished 2nd in points out of 15-20 other drivers. The 2011 brought on a new challenges, moving up to the "Pro Division" and racing with the adults. Despite a lot of mechanical issues throughout the season, Tyler kept his determination and chin up. We did not fair as well in points as we have in the past seasons but Tyler never gave up! The 2012 race season will consist of running the Mini Cup Car as well as practicing in our new Allison Legacy Car.
