Tampa, FL (8/10/2013), This week 11 year-old Tyler Clem begins another chapter in his racing career with an introduction into the Clem Racing’s 1800 ASKGARY / TSR Winged Sprint.
Clem Racing team set the car up prior to the event, and was rolled out of the CRI hauler and into to Tyler’s hands (as is) to begin the evenings practice sessions and racing. In practice during Saturday night’s Bubba Raceway Park Limited Wing Sprint Car event, Tyler took to the clay with nothing more than shaking a new car down, and becoming familiar with the power and handling of a sprint car. Surprising becoming familiar was rather quick, in fact he seemed quite comfortable.
Although not officially in the race for points or awards, Tyler finished 4th in his heat. Tyler’s feature race was a mixture of middle of the pack, and later part of the field. Towards the final laps Tyler was experimenting working the high-side when he scrubbed the turn 4 wall, and decided that it would be best to call it a night.
With adjustments to the car, and Tyler becoming more familiar with driving Sprints, we are confident that he will be up to speed by years end.
Tyler is currently leading in 1st place in the Limited Late Model Division, 2nd in the Late Model Division, and 3rd place in the NeSmith Weekly Crate Late Model Division at Bubba Raceway Park. Tyler’s next race is Saturday August 17th 2013 at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida.
