9/13/22…PRESS RELEASE: WE HERE AT FAST TIME MEDIA WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE WILL BE WORKING WITH & REPRESENTING TYLER DRIEVER FOR THE REST OF THE 2022 RACE SEASON! TYLER DRIEVER IS THE 20 YEAR OLD, MERIDIAN IDAHO DRIVER OF THE DRIEVER RACING NUMBER 33T WINGED 360 SPRINT CAR.
TYLER STARTED RACING AT THE YOUNG AGE OF JUST 12 YEARS OLD AS HE WOULD HOP INTO A 250 OUTLAW KART. HE WOULD SPEND HIS EARLY DAYS RUNNING AT RED BLUFF & CYCLELAND SPEEDWAYS AS HE WOULD QUICKLY MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF IN THE WEST COAST OUTLAW KART SCENE ON THE WEST COAST.
THE YOUNG IDAHO DRIVER WOULD QUICKLY FIND SUCCESS MAKING MAKING THE WEST COAST NATIONALS AND THE KYLE LARSON SHOWCASE A-MAIN 2 YEARS IN A ROW IN THE 250. HE WOULD ALSO WIN 3 TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE 250 CLASS. IN 2017 HE WOULD MAKE THE A-MAIN IN THE KYLE LARSON SHOWCASE IN THE OPEN CLASS IN HIS FIRST FULL YEAR RUNNING THE OPEN CLASS AT JUST 16 YEARS OF AGE.
IN 2018 HE WOULD MAKE HIS FIRST STARTS IN A WINGED 360 SPRINT CAR. TYLER WOULD END UP MAKING THE A MAIN IN BOTH AT COTTAGE GROVE WITH THE SUMMER THUNDER SPRINT CAR SERIES, IN HIS FIRST WINGED 360 SPRINT CAR STARTS WHILE STILL BEING JUST 16 YEARS OF AGE.
DURING THE 2019 SEASON HE RACED WITH THE ISCS SPRINT CAR SERIES BRINGING HOME A 6TH PLACE FINISH IN POINTS AND WINNING ISCS ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. HIS 2019 SEASON WOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED BY A 3RD PLACE FINISH AT GRAYS HARBOR SPEEDWAY WHICH WOULD BE HIS ONLY PODIUM OF THE SEASON.
LIKE MOST OTHERS, THE 2020 SPRINT CAR SEASON WOULD BE LIMITED FOR TYLER AS HE WOULD JUST RUN A SMALL SCHEDULE. TYLER WOULD RUN 13 RACES, ALL BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE WINGED 360 SPRINT CAR AS HE WOULD LOOK TO GAIN SEAT TIME AND EXPERIENCE BEHIND WITH A 360 UNDER THE HOOD.
2021 WOULD HAVE TYLER TAKE THE NEXT STEP AS HE RACED IN THE ASCS FRONTIER SERIES. HE WOULD BRING HOME HIS FIRST WINGED 360 SPRINT CAR WIN AS HE WOULD WIN TWO RACES, FINISHING 2ND IN POINTS AND WINNING ROOKIE OF THE YEAR FOR THE SERIES. HE ALSO RUN A RACE IN A WINGED 360 AT COTTAGE GROVE SPEEDWAY WHERE HE WOULD SHOW A TON OF SPEED AGAINST SOME VERY GOOD COMPETITION. HE WOULD EVEN END UP WINNING THE DASH AND PUTTING HIMSELF ON THE POLE OF THE MARVIN SMITH MEMORIAL
THIS YEAR TYLER HAS RUN 18 RACES SO FAR MOSTLY IN THE FRONTIER REGION. IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER GREAT SEASON AS HE MOST RECENTLY PICKED UP A WIN AT BIG SKY SPEEDWAY, MARKING HIS 3RD CAREER WIN. THE 20 YEAR OLD HAS ADDED SOME PODIUMS ON TOP OF THAT PUTTING TOGETHER A SOLID SEASON UP TO THIS POINT.
HIS CAREER HAS BEEN A LOT OF LEARNING UP TO NOW, BUT TYLER SEEMS TO BE TAKING THE NEXT STEP IN HIS RACING CAREER AND HE LOOKS TO END THE 2022 RACE SEASON OFF ON A STRONG NOTE AS THEY HAVE A FEW WINGED 360 SPRINT CAR RACES LEFT ON THE SCHEDULE.
TYLER WOULD LIKE TO THANK HIS SPONSORS; MAXIMA RACING OILS, COMMERCIAL TIRE, FOKUS GRAPHICS, ALLEGIANT POWDER COATING, LARSON-MILLER MEDICAL WASTE DISPOSAL, KING RACING PRODUCTS, K1 RACE GEAR, IDAHO FAMOUS POTATOES, SHARK RACING ENGINES, AND HEPFNER RACING PRODUCTS.
