TUCSON, Ariz. (January 5) - Tyler Reddick driver of the Broken Bow Records, Jason Aldean and America's Incredible Pizza sponsored car has set his eyes on the Wild West Shootout.
Tyler a World of Outlaws Late Model regular has completed plans to compete at the shootout the final weekend. "It's a great race and I have to come see Kenny Wallace" said Tyler. Tyler went on to explain that ever since Kenny on national television made the comment about me as "out of the womb and into a racecar" during the Firecracker 100 that he's been dying to meet Kenny! "He made me laugh so hard!" said Tyler. Going to Tucson Tyler will be able to meet him in person and actually see Herman in action as well.
Tyler Reddick Racing had been holding off racing and testing until the Super Bowl of Racing at Golden Isle Raceway. But this opportunity is hard to pass up and TRR will modify our Georgia plans.
The Wild West Shootout is a great week long series and Tyler is looking forward to coming to town to see what he can do. "I'd sure like to add the BILL CHEESEBOURG MEMORIAL as a win to my list of wins!" said Tyler. This will mark the furthest point west Tyler will have been in racing in 3 years, "It will almost be like going home" said Tyler.
Tyler will only be able to race the final two nights as the team had to move their plans forward a few weeks to be ready to travel and compete. The cars have been under going transformations for the 2010 year of racing. Yes, Tyler will be sporting a new graphic's package for 2010.
Tyler Reddick started his racing career at age 4 and has several accolades to his accomplishment. Highlights are some 13 series championships, 5 rookie of the year awards and 3 national titles in various series over the years. Not to mention he became the youngest driver in World of Outlaw's history to drive his way into a feature event.
Tyler has yet to put his Broken Bow Records, Jason Aldean, America's Incredible Pizza, Vp Racing Fuels and Gatorz Precision Eye Wear super late model in victory lane. Tyler has racked up several B-main wins and has recently beaten some really fast drivers in head to head action. So the "Bill Cheesebourg Memorial" just might be the place that Tyler notches his first win.
Tyler is encroaching on nearly 700 event starts in his career but is yet just 14 years old. Tyler started in Outlaw karts then move up through mini sprints, full midgets, 410 non wing sprints and now Super Late Models.
The "California kid" makes his current home in Du Quoin Illinois as it has been serving as the mid west race shop location. TTR maintains a west coast location race shop in Corning California that supported his earlier years of racing around the west.
Tyler will be running the full World of Outlaws Late Model Series again this year with over 50 series races this season. Tyler finished 14th in the series this last year in is rookie debut. Tyler has hopes of moving up in the point's ladder this year with his sights set on the top 10.
Tyler would very much like to meet you in the pits during the races. So come over and check his team out. Tyler has tee-shirts, coffee cups, diecast cars and drivers cards available for autographs.
