J.D. Heiskell & Company Appreciation Day
USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series
Thunderbowl Raceway
Tulare, CA
Tyler Walker hailing out of Hermosa Beach, CA has made a lot
of left turns over the last 15 years though this will be just his fourth ever non-wing sprint car start. He is the first fourth-generation driver
to compete in NASCAR since the late Adam Petty!
Walker began his 4 wheel racing career running go-karts at
an early age winning four California state karting championships, racking up a
total of over 200 wins. In 1997, Walker began his Sprint Car racing career taking
the checkered 7 times in the All Star Circuit of Champions Series and went on
to take Rookie of the Year honors in his first full season of sprint car
competition.
Tyler has competed in everything from go-karts to NASCAR
Busch Series, from World of Outlaws to King of the West Sprints and even the Craftsman
Truck Series. Some of his many accolades include 1992–1996 California State
Go-Kart Champion, 1996 Knoxville Nationals Rookie of the Year, 1997
All-Star Circuit of Champions Rookie of the Year, 2002 World of Outlaws Gumout
Series Champion and 2004 USAC Silver Crown Series Most Improved
Driver.
So we are thrilled to have Walker running with us this
weekend in Tulare. This will the fifth points race of the 2016 season with DJ
Johnson and Brody Roa leading the way in the race for the Championship. Two of
the earlier dates rained out.
The Thunderbowl is a favorite venue among sprint fans and
race teams alike. ‘Enjoy Exciting Sprint Car Racing at our "Lightning
