What Saturday night track will Tyler Courtney be running when he isn't running USAC sprints? What's his background? Looked good Saturday night at Ocala.

Last year, it looked like he ran Lincoln Park Speedway just about every Saturday and Kokomo almost weekly. I believe they said on the broadcast he came from Micros but don't quote me on that.

I believe he drives a family car, and is a product of BCI. I seem to remember him driving a BCI midget some.

Tyler was also the recipient of this years Billy Marvel Jr. Hoosier Sprint Rookie of the Year Award winner at the HARF Banquet, a well deserved winner. bob

Thanks for the kind words guys. I started racing in quarter midgets then moved to 600's when I was 12 and then started making some midget starts when I was 16 and raced about 15 midget races over the past couple years. This past summer I bought a sprint car and got it going the last weekend of June. I ran 17 shows throughout the rest of the summer. I've been fortunate enough to have some sponsors to get me through last summer and down to Florida. Brian Hayden was kind enough to let me help him split his cost of his rig fuel in trade for hauling my car down to florida as well. And I would like to thank Robbie Parish, Mike and Josh Derrickson for volunteering to come down and help me last week at Ocala. Looking forward to getting to As many races as possible the rest of the year,all around Indiana, and most if not all of the USAC races as to try and earn their "rookie of the year" honors.

"Sunshine" was a great micro racer. Always raced hard and clean. Made the transition to midgets and sprints look easy. He has been very impressive!
