WATERDOWN, ONTARIO – “The Kid with the Speed” as he has been nick named, Tyler Brown has been named Up & Coming Stock Car Racer of the year by the readers of Inside Track Motorsport News.

Inside Track Motorsport News is Canada’s top racing magazine, and the Readers’ Choice Awards are a key component of the magazine’s commitment to shine a bright light on this country’s current and future stars. Inside Track supplied a list of potential nominees in most categories representing various popular forms of racing in Canada, along with space for write-in nominations ensuring that every Canadian racer had the chance to win whether or not they were put forward by the editors and contributors.

“This is an incredible honor” Tyler said, “I need to thank everyone who voted for me, it means a lot to have the friends & fans take the time to vote”. This is Brown’s second year in Late Model competition, in 2006 he became the youngest driver in Delaware Speedway’s History at the age of 14 and went on to capture the Rookie of the Year title and a 10th place finish in year end standings.

Brown started racing at the age of 7 in go karts and throughout the next 7 years traveled across North America to compete. “At the age of 12 we put him in a high powered stock car and when I saw him drive, I knew he was ready to move up” father Darrell stated. One year later the plans were put in place to move him into stock cars.
The ultimate goal for Brown is to compete in the states and already the ground work is being laid for further moves up the motorsport ladder as his skills develop. To learn more about Tyler go to www.tyler-brown.com.
