"Right now our only concern is for him to get well for long races." "We will be racing Tanner in shorter length regional events to build his experience and keep him behind the wheel until he is well enough to return to the long (hour plus) races". Said team owner Adrian Berryhill.
"We are looking at several replacement drivers for the ASA Challenge Series at his time but a decision has not been finalized". " An announcement will be made by early next week as to who we have joined forces with to carry the Vision Racing, Enlyten, Americash Advance.com, Awesome Racewear late model into competition".

A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Tony Stewart.....Tanner Berryhill?
Sunday May 30th, 2009 TULSA, OK. - All the greatest drivers in the world have, at one time, had to show the ability to show versatility in the sport of auto racing. AJ Foyt could take a "Big Car" from the Indiana State Fairgrounds dirt track and show up the next week at the famous Milwaukee Mile and not only put it in the show against the nations best, but win the race! Mario Andretti would jump from Indycars to Formula One to midgets, sprints, champ cars and even NASCAR stock cars and would always show why his legend is talked and even sung about in today’s culture. Tony Stewart could be in a dirt late model at Eldora winning one weekend and on the high banks of Talladega besting the field the next. Let me remind you that Stewart also is an Indycar champion as well in the Indy Racing League in 1997. All of the greats in the sport of auto racing have been able to jump into different forms of racing and success would follow them.
In todays racing world legends aren’t created they are earned and many of today’s young drivers are attempting to earn their legend status and one of them is a driver named Tanner Berryhill out of Tulsa Oklahoma. Berryhill, a legend in the making? Only time will tell. But, Tanner is showing the same remarkable success as all the past and present greats. This weekend Berryhill has amazed the dirt racing community by jumping into an Outlaw micro sprint car just a couple of weeks after racing his ASA Challenge Series stock car at the famed Milwaukee Mile and charging hard from deep in the field and finishing second in only his third start in a dirt open wheel car. Not only did the youngster from Tulsa Oklahoma compete for the win on Saturday night but the Vision Racing team loaded his sprint car and headed for a Sunday afternoon race on a track he had never raced on, and once again impressed the dirt critics!
Starting from the outside front row on a hot dusty dry afternoon (Sound like days of past?) Berryhill piloted his #17 Americash Advance, Excel Sports Medicine Sawyer Chassis Sprint into the number one position and never looked back stretching his lead to nearly a half lap advantage over local hot shoe Frankie Flood. The skill and precision needed to win at this challenging dry slick dusty speedplant was at Tanners dispose as he made it look like second nature as the 30 lap feature would wind down and victory would be had.
With wins in every type of race car and any type of surface whether dirt, asphalt or concrete, Berryhill sets his sights on a win in the ASA late model Challenge series "Gleaners 200" in a couple of weeks on June 13th at O'Reillys Raceway Park in Indianapolis Indiana. Berryhill has run one ASA asphalt Challenge late model race and is setting his goals on being the youngest competitor to win in the Challenge series. Tanner just recently turned fifteen and will not be sixteen until after the final race of the ASA Challenge series season at Memphis Motorsports park in early November 2009 so he has time on his side to break into the record books and a legend is surely developing before our eyes.
The Vision Racing, Enlyten, National Cash Lenders.com, Awesome Racewear, Excel Sports Medicine driver is sitting in the Fifth points position for "Rookie of the Year" standings among sixteen rookies in the ASA Challenge division. His ability to adapt to different forms of racing will surely lead to success in the Rookie race as he is probably the only TRUE rookie in the ASA Challenge series this year with only 7 total career starts in a late model.

The second place car of Jerrick Johnson and full time NASCAR Nationwide Hendricks' driver Landon Cassill took off to a two car advantage. The number 17 charged hard and made the quick inside move on Jerrick Johnson to take the 2nd position on lap number two. It was clear that Tanner Berryhill had the his car on the mark and was closing Landon Cassill quickly to take the top spot away. After the pass on Johnson the yellow flag flew for a hard multi car crash in turns three and four. Heavy damage and debris scattered the corner as workers worked hard to clean the wreck. Upon the lap three restart Berryhill made a hard charge upon Cassill and looked hard inside Cassill coming out of turn two. As Berryhill made the move the car went out of control and spun to the inside retaining wall out of turn two bringing out caution number two. It appeared the car spun for no real reason until learning the car had a mechanical clutch failure causing it to spin and the Enlyten number 17 was finished for the night.

It was a successful test session prior to Saturday nights race with the Enlyten speed machine at the top of the charts in speeds. The field will be set by previous nights finishing position putting the number 17 deep in the field of tonight's race starting in the 23 position.

Upon the drop of the green flag Berryhill took his machine to the high side in turns one and two and completed an impressive pass coming out of two passing the 12th and 13th place cars and holding the 12th position. As the field charged down the back straightaway car number 47 cut a right front tire as the number 17 was passing around the high side going into turn three. Number 47 drove straight into the turn four wall collecting Berryhill in the incident destroying the nose of the number 17. The hard working Vision Racing pit crew was able to remove the remaining body and get Berryhill back on the track prior to going green again. The Vision Racing Ford Fusion returned to the race track with no visible body from the windshield forward and restarted the race in the 27th position. Upon a crash filled race Berryhill steadily and cautiously raced his ill, aero, damaged machine through the field and salvaged a 17th finishing position for the hard working team of Vision Racing.

14 year old Tanner Berryhill Steps Closer To NASCAR
Tulsa, Ok. Dec.11, 2008 - Vision Racing’s Tanner Berryhill made an impressive move this last weekend toward securing his future as a driver in the top levels of NASCAR. While competing in his first ever late model race at Houston Motorsports Park, Berryhill put on a show of why so many are calling him the next great driver of the modern racing era.
While only competing in seven truck series starts this year and capturing the front row qualifying position five of seven times with all but two finishes outside the top five with one pole and one win, Vision Racing has decided to sell the truck program and take Berryhill to the next level. “I am so excited about the opportunity to race the late model cars at Houston and Memphis the following week” said Berryhill. With that in mind Vision Racing, LLC entered Tanner into his first start in the ASA Late model sanctioned event at Houston Motorsports Park and he once again impressed all of those around him.
“We were

By mid race the Vision Racing #17 was in the 7th position and moving forward quickly. The race was halted for a spin which allowed Berryhill to be a threat to the top five. Upon the restart Berryhill made a charge at victory and found himself sitting in the 6th position upon lap 30 with ten to go before caution number three showed its head. Tanner’s spotter was asked for Tanner to back off the #14 in hopes to maintain its position and the track championship. Vision Racing owner agreed and the message to Berryhill was sent to stay behind the #14 to allow a season championship. “I really did’t want to back off but I understand I could have ruined his entire season by passing him and knocking him out of the championship, I may need that favor someday” stated Berryhill after taking the checkers in the 5th position.
“Tanner brought the car home with not one scratch from the 11th position to 5th he did a great job as all positions were gained and not given by cautions”, “Seventeen cars completed the event”. “We look forward to seeing Tanner with his good looks, exceptional driving ability and humble spirit at the top of NASCAR and we will go with him” said National Cash Lenders.Com company spokesman Michael Borrell.

Tanner Berryhill Grabs Solid Run At JRP
“Developmental Driver Sparks Impressive Performance”
TULSA, Oklahoma (July 27, 2006) – In a new gig for Tanner Berryhill last weekend at JRP, Berryhill didn’t leave anything on the table after maneuvering from the back of the pack to boast a solid third place finish for Brad Demerre Motorsports.
The son of successful ARCA RE/MAX Series owner Adrian Berryhill approached his second A-feature Pro Mini Stock event this year with confidence and adrenaline. Hype was already surrounding the 12-year old after entering the event as the youngest competitor.
After starting from the rear of the field, Berryhill sliced and diced his way through his competition looking to add another top finish to his already impressive resume. While running an exceptional clean race, Berryhill motored to third while closing on second but ran out of time as the checkered flag flew.
“I’m real happy with the run,” said Berryhill Monday. “We had a good car, but I needed to put on a good performance from Brad Demerre Motorsports. It’s really an awesome feeling to be asked by another team to drive for them. I just wanted to have a good run and impress them, I think I did.”
Brad Demerre Motorsports is led by Pacer Ames who Berryhill attracted an instant connection and is comfortable working with him. “Everyone knows in racing, communication is key. I’m feeling great about the communication between me and Pacer. It’s strong and that’s going to more crucial the more we work together, I know I’m going to be just fine.”
It’s going to be a busy week for the developmental driver. Berryhill will join his father and the remainder of the Vision Racing and head to Gateway International Raceway for the running of the Shop ‘n’ Save 150. Vision Racing will look to make their third start of the 2006 ARCA season with rookie driver Will Vaught at the helm.
From the ARCA race, Berryhill will race back home to compete at JRP Speedway Saturday night competing again for Brad Demerre Motorsports. “I can’t wait for this weekend’s race,” he said. “I have a good feeling that I’m going to have a better car than last weekend and hopefully return to familiar territory, victory lane.”
From JRP, Berryhill will return to one his favorite venues, Texas Motor Speedway for a two-day Inex Bandolero event on the one-quarter mile infield. “I can’t wait to return to Texas Motor Speedway. I always run well at TMS and next week should be no different.”

Tulsa,
Ok. 6-19-2009, Vision Racing has decided to sideline its young stand
out driver for the upcoming ASA challenge series race at "The
Rock" in Rockingham North Carolina. Tanner had sustained an injury
prior to the Indianapolis Gleaners 200 race at ORP. While racing in
a dirt Outlaw Micro Sprint Car, Berryhill was in hot lap sessions
when an out of control car spun in front of him causing his car to
flip. The impact was hard, but not too bad for the Vision Racing team
to repair the car and allow Berryhill to go on and win the main event!
Tanner reported of being sore after the Victory.
March
15, 2009 Punta Gorda, Fl. - Sunday afternoon concluded the Charlotte
County Motorsports Park ASA South Series season opener with the triple
crown national legends event. The Vision Racing, Enlyten sponsored driver
had a very strong weekend over the three days of racing (Triple Crown)
posting two class National wins and a strong second place finish securing
the title of the King of the Triple Crown. "I was so happy with
the results that we had this weekend giving Enlyten their first National
win and securing this Triple Crown Championship", "After a
really tough Speedweeks, I needed to show Enlyten why they chose me
and I think I did this weekend and am grateful for this opportunity"
said Tanner in victory lane during the interview in front of a packed
house. 
me over the weekend", "This is his home track and I've never
been here before so he really helped me to get around like I needed
to". "We had a great car and really look forward to the rest
of the season", said Tanner. 
"We
are so excited to join forces with Enlyten, this is a rapidly growing
company that offers all people across the nation an opportunity to change
their life with a new business venture in its early start up phase."
"We are certain that motorsports will be a great fit to market Enlyten’s
products as well as sign up independent distributors to build the company
nationally." Said team owner Adrian Berryhill 
were
great to work with and had a lot of experience at this track”
said Vision Racing representative. Under a calm cool star lit Houston
sky Berryhill qualified his National Cash Lenders.Com mount in the 7th
position under a formula one style hot lap session. Eighteen cars entered
the event with an inversion that would certainly make for an exciting
event. Unfortunately the inversion meant Berryhill would start in the
11th position. “I know we have a lot better car than where we
are starting, so I will move quickly in the race since its only 40 laps”
said Berryhill before the start.
The
Red River Speedway North Texas Asphalt Championship was under way with
Berryhill leading the field to the line with a solid field of race trucks.
Of the sixteen qualifying trucks the top eight qualifiers were separated
by less than 2 tenths, this would surely make for an exciting event. Berryhill
took the early lead at the start of the event as he and former track champion
Josh Cournoyer in the # 41 Chevrolet began an intense side by side battle
for the top spot. The # 41 of Cournoyer made a bold side by side move
for the top spot and was chased closely by Berryhill as Berryhill made
a late charge for the lead in lapped traffic. Berryhill was not able to
make the pass as the door was continually closed in traffic. “ We
had a great set up on the truck this weekend but I just didn’t have
enough for the # 41, he’s a great racer with a lot of track time
here”, stated Berryhill upon the completion of the race. Berryhill
was clearly disappointed he did not win the event, finishing, second but
is satisfied with the results in only his seventh start in a stock car
type race car. 
youngster
was able to capture the two lap qualifying pole position by nearly two
tenths of a second better than the 2nd best qualifier. "this has
been something I have been dreaming of doing since moving up from the
INEX legend car series, I love the idea of qualifying and now I get
to make the most of that opportunity" said Berryhill. Not only
did he prove he can qualify but has put his USST National Cash Lenders.com
Ford on the front row three times with one pole position in his first
five starts. The night included two qualifying races with lineups based
on the two lap qualifying positions. Tanner not only proved he can qualify
fast but can race fast as well as he stretched a half lap lead over
the second place truck in only ten short laps. This would allow Berryhill
to qualify on the pole for the intense fifty lap feature event. 
When
the yellow flag was shown at lap 50, there was a hole in the right rear
tire. An adjustment was made, and a spare tire thrown on and Tanner
managed to get back out on the track and moved the truck into 7th and
made several strong moves for 6th. Two time series champ Eric
Caudell however had other ideas and managed to pinch off Tanner's many
attempts. When the checkered was waved, Tanner pulled off 7th
position.
Tulsa,
Ok. (Dec 15, 2007) In his drive to win his third straight Winter
Series Championship at TMS, Tanner raced his way into second place in
points, trailing by a mere two points behind the leader. Tanner
won both feature events on the Texas Motor Speedway challenging road course.
Tulsa,
Ok. (Oct 6, 2007) - - It was a family affair at JRP Raceway in Tulsa on
October 6th. Adrian Berryhill climbed in the drivers seat to race
with his son Tanner. Pictures from the event can be seen
