Hey, I'm Tyler! I'm 17 and I've been racing RC dirt ovals since I was 13. My dad and I build and wrench on the No. 17 together every week in the garage, and Prairie RC Raceway is my second home. This year I'm chasing my first shot at the ROAR Nationals — it's a long way from Illinois and a big step up, but I know I can run with those guys. Whether it's a set of tires, an entry fee, or just cheering me on, I'm grateful for every bit of help getting there.

I'm trying to qualify for my first ROAR Nationals this year. It's the biggest race I've ever attempted and it's a long haul from Bloomington. Your sponsorship helps cover the entry fee, fuel, a hotel for the weekend, and a fresh set of tires so I can actually be competitive when I get there. Every dollar gets the No. 17 one step closer to the national stage.
