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.

If that’s not enough, Nic has placed in the top ten in the last 7 races he’s started, 2nd in the USAC CRA points race and 4th in the West Coast Sprint Car Series points race!

When we started the season we stated we were going to try and run all the WCSC, all the CRA, many of the Midget and Classic races. Well we said, “JFM is putting together a 2014 Schedule geared toward competing strongly in both the USAC CRA Sprint Car Series and the West Coast Sprint Car Series.” The JFM drivers this year are running in the top 5 in all the West coast sprint series’, Faas in two different classes!

Josh Ford Motorsports, with the talented Ryan Bernal out of Hollister, won the points race for the Western Classic Racing Series last year.

"2014 will begin a new chapter for USAC’s Northern California traditional sprint car division. The WCRS has adopted the same successful rules package currently in use by the USAC West Coast Sprint Cars."
L. Jennings - Hosehead Forums

This is the first time at Calistoga that points will only be earned under the USAC Western Classic banner at this ½ mile, celebrated “Home of the Louie Vermeil Classic” track.

$2000 will go to the winner on both Saturday and Sunday. Gates open at 3pm. Racing starts at 7pm Saturday and 6pm Sunday.

West Coast, CRA and Western Midget Point Races heating up! Niemela running WC 360's in Bakersfield this Saturday!

Josh Ford Motorsports drivers have been solid through the first few point’s races of the early 2014 season and it's paid off with both Markus Niemelä and Nic Faas firmly in second place in the USAC/CRA and WCSC Series Points respectively and Trey Marcham in third for the Western Midgets!! Niemelä is just 4 points out of the top spot, Faas 20 with Marcham just 5 points out of the lead as well, in third, for the Western Midget Series!

Bakersfield Speedway will host the next WCSC Series race. Niemelä will be wheeling the potent A&A Precision CNC Machine / Berry Pack / King Racing Products #73 sprint, see if he can make a push for the lead.
