Tyler continues to work with the clubs, mentoring at-risk youth sharing his story of overcoming adversity and working hard to reach your goals and dreams. He proudly displays the logo for the Kansas City Clubs on his car, fire suit and trailer. He speaks with youth at races and always encourages fans in "Winner's Circle" Interviews to support their local clubs.
Tyler is beginning his 10th year in racing, is a past Track Champion at his home track of Grain Valley, MO and Runner up in the All-Star Midgets Series 2 years running. This is his first year racing on the USAC Midget Series.
