Tanner Berryhill Continues Stout Efforts

“Vision Racing Development Driver On The Rise”

TULSA, Oklahoma (Wednesday April 27, 2006) - - Vision Racing driver development protégé Tanner Berryhill continues to turn heads throughout the state of Oklahoma following another impressive performance at JRP Speedway last weekend.

In preparation for his first Mini-Stock race at JRP, the 12-year old tested at the racetrack prior to the event gathering crucial track and seat time. During the testing session, to no one’s surprise Berryhill thundered out spectacular lap times leaving the VR (Vision Racing) team with high hopes for the event.

“I’m happy with the way things went,” said Tanner. “The test went better than expected and I’m focused heading into this weekend’s race. I just want to finish the race. That’s the biggest thing, finishing.”

On race day, Berryhill continued to make his presence known. During his heat session, he mastered away around the track leading a majority of the race before being dumped from behind with one lap to go. On the green-white-checkered finish, Tanner sliced and diced his way though the rest of the competition and capturing the heat race victory.

During the main feature, things didn’t go so hot. On the first lap, Berryhill was hit from behind, sending his car into the wall, ending his day.

“I was looking forward to the race following the heat show,” continued Tanner. “I feel bad that the car is wrecked pretty badly, but hopefully we’ll get it fixed for the next race.”

Adrian said, “Tanner did an awesome job. His heat race was one of the best races I’ve ever seen. In the main event, that just sucked. We’ll fix the car and Tanner will race again.”

The third-generation driver continues to prove he is a natural born talent. In addition to running smoothly at JRP Speedway, Berryhill also was recently crowned the Texas Motor Speedway Winter Series Champion. In addition, Berryhill also has captured four out of six wins this year in the National Bandoleros series.

Last year, Berryhill, a third-generation driver mastered 12 victories between the Bandoleros Series at JRP Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway. In 16 races, his worst finish was fourth.

“I’m having a blast,” said Tanner Berryhill who sports the No. 17. “I enjoy racing. Lucky for me, I’m starting out young and I hope to continue racing for a long time to come.”

With six starts this season in the Bandoleros Series, Berryhill has racked up two poles, four wins, four top-fives and four top-ten finishes. That’s stout for a driver who only has been racing for a year.

Backing his efforts this season consist of Majestic Properties, LLC, National Cash Lenders, LLC, Mauppins Kia of Tulsa Body Shop and Excel Sports Therapy. “It’s pretty cool to have sponsors that want to see me win at a young age,” continued the youngster. “They are behind me all the way and I’m thankful for that.”

As for the owner, Adrian Berryhill, he is a proud father. “I’m so proud of Tanner,” he said. “It’s amazing what he has been able to do in such a short time. I love to see him race. He does a great job. He doesn’t get over his head and saves the best for last. He has the talent and will be around racing for a long time to come.”

Tanner is part of the driver development program for Vision Racing which competes in the ARCA RE/MAX Series and NASCAR Busch Series. “While we are planning to breed new talent with Vision Racing, the focus will be putting Tanner in the seat in a couple years. He will start off on the short tracks in ARCA and then he’ll work his way up just like all the drivers do. I’m excited about the future.”

Vision Racing fields the No. 37 machine in the ARCA RE/MAX Series. Earlier this year Damon Lusk put on a brilliant performance in the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway finishing fifth, a career best for the Oklahoma based-team
