13-Year-Old, Tyler Clem on the Rise; Ready for Florida Doubleheader

St. Petersburg, Florida (09/09/15) – 13-year-old, Tyler Clem from St. Petersburg, Florida is the latest addition to the MSR Mafia Team of drivers.

The racing prodigy is currently in his 9th year of racing and despite his young age has already logged countless hours of seat time in various divisions including Super Late Model, Limited Late Model, 410 c.i. Winged Sprint Cars, 360 c.i. Winged Sprint Cars, Midget Sprint Cars, and more.
To date Clem has already amassed fourteen championships, including three national titles. Other notable accomplishments include becoming the youngest driver to ever qualify for the NeSmith World Championship event, where he finished 6th in the final rundown. At just 12-years-old, Tyler became the youngest driver to ever receive clearance from the World of Outlaws Late Model Series (WoOLMS) to compete at any track, where the high-profile series sanctions events. In addition in early 2015, at the age of just 12-years-old he became the youngest driver to ever qualify for an All Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC) Sprint Car feature and a WoOLMS feature.

Tyler was in action this past weekend at Cochran Motor Speedway (Cochran, Georgia) in the rain-delayed, 2nd Annual Georgia Showdown. On Saturday evening Tyler started on the tail of the $10,000-to-win finale in his Vahlco Wheels #14 Rocket Late Model due to not being present for preliminary action for the event earlier this year. Despite starting deep in the field against a field of racing veterans, Tyler was passing for the 6th position late in the event, when he was spun by another driver, ending his strong run.

On Sunday night Tyler was fastest in hot laps in the $3,000-to-win program with the National Late Model Series (NLMS) and had high hopes for the evening before mechanical woes sidelined him early in the finale.

Full results from the events are available at www.CochranSpeedway.com .

The upcoming weekend will take Tyler into battle in a pair of events in his home state. On Friday evening he will enter a Weekly Racing Series Event at Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala, Florida), while Saturday night will take the 13-year-old to Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) for a $3,000-to-win affair with the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series (UDLMCS).
