Tyler Clem Inherits Late Model Win at BRP; Enjoys Strong Holiday Weekend

St. Petersburg, Florida (07/05/16) – 14-year-old, Tyler Clem enjoyed a successful holiday weekend in three divisions as he competed in his Vahlco Wheels #14 Rocket Chassis Late Model, his #14 J&J Sprint Car and his Bubba Army #14 K&N Filters/ Larry Shaw Modified. Among his accomplishments was a Late Model win on Friday night at Bubba Raceway Park.

“We kind of backed into that win because the guy that initially won was light at the scales, so we were bumped up from 2nd to the victory” said Clem. “I know that’s a tough way to lose a race, but we’ve had our fair share of bad luck this year, so we’ll definitely take this win.”

Competing in two separate divisions, Tyler Clem returned to Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala, Florida) on Friday night, battling in his Sprint Car and Late Model. Bringing home his first Late Model win of the season, Clem initially finished 2nd in the main event, but inherited the top spot when the race winner weighed in 60 lbs light at the scales. The victory marked Tyler's 3rd overall of the season.

After placing 3rd in his heat race in the Sprint Car division, Tyler notched a 5th-place finish in the Top Gun Sprints sanctioned A-Main, trailing Matt Kurtz, Johnny Gilbertson, Mark Ruel Jr., and Keith Butler to the checkers.

Making his third start of the weekend – all in different divisions – Tyler Clem visited Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) on Sunday night for the $3,000-to-win Daytona Sportswear Modified event. In a field of 17 entries, Clem recorded a 3rd-place finish in his heat, securing his spot into the 30-lap A-Main. Posting his third Top-5 finish of the weekend, Tyler scored a 4th-place finish behind Larry Burkins, Todd Neiheiser, and Dillon Buhr with David Reutimann finishing 5th.

Tyler’s plans for the weekend call for him to tentatively return to Volusia Speedway Park this Saturday, July 9 to compete in the Modified division. For more information on the event, please visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.com .
