Tyler Clem Notches Runner-Up Finish at BRP
St. Petersburg, Florida (08/31/16) – 14-year-old, Tyler Clem fought his way to a hard-earned, runner-up finish on Saturday night at Bubba Raceway Park in his Vahlco Wheels #14 Bubba Army/ Rocket Chassis Late Model.
Behind the wheel of his Bubba Army #14 K&N Filters Super Late Model, Tyler Clem visited Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala, Florida) on Saturday night for a National Late Model Series event. Running a Crate Late Model motor against a field of much more powerful cars, Tyler earned the 3rd-starting spot for the $2,000-to-win, A-Main via his performance in preliminary action.
Early in the 30-lap finale Clem capitalized on a restart to take the 2nd position away from Ivedent Lloyd Jr. as he set his sights on the leader, Mark Whitener. Pulling within a couple of car-lengths of the leader on several occasions, Tyler Clem ultimately landed a solid, 2nd-place finish behind Whitener with Kyle Bronson, Ivedent Lloyd Jr. and Jackie Nosbich rounding out the Top 5.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever worked so hard to get a 2nd place finish, but I’m really proud of our performance,” Clem noted with a big smile after the feature. “We had less power than most of the guys here tonight, but we were able to overcome that disadvantage. To finish second to a guy like Mark (Whitener) with other guys like Kyle Bronson, Ivedent Lloyd Jr., and Jackie Nosbisch behind me really means a lot to me and my team.”
Full results from this event are available at www.BubbaRacewayPark.com .
Clem will enjoy a break from racing over the Labor Day weekend before returning to competition on Saturday, September 10 at Bubba Raceway Park. He will take part in the $3,000-to-win, Modified portion of the 6th annual P.J. Wiggins Memorial. For more information on the event, please visit www.BubbaRacewayPark.com .
