Tanner Berryhill Enjoys Strong Summer
Tanner Berryhill Enjoys Strong Summer TULSA, Oklahoma (September 22, 2006) – Vision Racing developmental driver Tanner Berryhill has continued to impress throughout the 2006 racing season and his few last racing venues were no surprise. Berryhill, the son of NASCAR Busch Series owner and crew chief Adrian Berryhill has spent the last several weekends competing between JRP in Tulsa, Oklahoma and most recently in the INEX Bandolero Series at Texas Motor Speedway. Competing in the Pro Mini Stock class for Demerre Motorsports, he claimed a runner-up finish in only his third feature start. Competing in a very competitive series with not a lot of experience at JRP, Berryhill continues to overcome the odds and flourish into the spotlight. “The more I race at JPR the better I am getting, so the more seat time the better,�?? said Berryhill, who goal is to become a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series champion. “I’ve enjoyed running for Demerre Motorsports, I really appreciate the opportunity they have given me.�?? Most recently, Berryhill returned to Texas Motor Speedway in Justin, Texas to compete in the INEX Bandolero Series on September 1st and 2nd. On Friday, Berryhill captured victory in his heat advancing to the main attraction where he finished second. On Saturday, the youngster backed up his efforts winning his heat and finishing second in the main race. Then comes the twist. The winner from Friday and Saturday night was disqualified for an illegal clutch automatically handing the victory to Berryhill. “No one likes to win they way we did, but I’ll take it,�?? explained Berryhill. “We were legal and he wasn’t, sometimes that’s the way it is. We had a good car both nights, I’m so proud of the team.�?? Texas Motor Speedway is the toughest Bandolero region to race in currently as two previous national champions and currently three upcoming racers are also in Tanner’s division holding spots in the top ten for the national points. Driving a four year old Bandolero, Berryhill is confident he can claim more victories and the championship. “I’m focused, and that’s important�?? he said. “I’m maturing the more I race and that’s what I need to do. I’m preparing myself for a long career as a racecar driver, so I’m being smart about it. There is a lot of people that are making my dream come true, and I won’t ever forget them for that, but the focus is on winning. Winning leads to championships and that’s what I plan on doing.�?? Berryhill returns to JRP Speedway this weekend looking to improve on second place finish in the mini-stocks and is gunning for a win. “I would like to win my first mini stock this weekend and I think I can do it. I know that Demerre Motorsports will give me a great racecar, I’m really excited about getting back to the track.�?? Berryhill has also spent the season traveling with his father’s Vision Racing team in the ARCA RE/MAX Series and NASCAR Busch Series trying to grasp what his future will be like. “It’s been fun traveling with my dad,�?? he remarked. “My dad is so focused on running good, he’s just had some crappy luck. He is strong and involved, he’ll get it turned around and he’ll be more successful than he knows.�??
