Vision Racing Enlytens Chris Eggleston
Tulsa, Ok. June 29, 2009 - Vision Racing has put together a deal to bring in the current ASA North series points leader Chris Eggleston to pilot the number 17 Vision Racing Enlyten ASA car for the upcoming Rockingham race this July 4th weekend. We are excited to have such a great talent substitute for Tanner this weekend, we know he will bring the number 17 home with a strong finish." said team owner Adrian Berryhill. "Chris is a hard working college student vying to make his mark in auto racing and we are thrilled to see him along that journey." Chris has been piloting his own mount along with the exceptionally prepared cars of the 5k team to put him in a position to win on several occasions. While introducing Vision Racings young driver Tanner Berryhill into ASA racing, Vision hired the Ken Wills 5k team for last years Kings Randsom 300 at Memphis Motorsports Park. "We really liked the organization that the 5k team showed and the solid work ethic that we saw was paramount for doing this race as a joint venture for Vision Racing and our Sponsor Enlyten." Said Berryhill. This is a team effort between Vision Racing and 5k racing that will surely lead to great results. "Vision Racing has great equipment and structure and we are proud to represent them and all their sponsors at the rock and hope we can do a great job for them." said team owner Ken Wills of 5k racing. "We are currently looking at partnering a deal with Vision Racing to get Tanner behind the wheel three to four times a week in the Wisconsin area for some short track runs that will help prepare him for the final ASA challenge events upcoming. He is a very talented driver and that was obvious the first time we ran him at Memphis, so we are really exciting about a true teamship opportunity with Tanner and Vision Racing." Said Wills.
Vision Racing will pick up the ASA Challenge Series Events with Tanner Berryhill behind the wheel starting at Nashville Superspeedway. Vision Racing would like to continue its partnership with Ken Wills' 5k racing team for upcoming ASA Challenge Series events. " We have a commitment to all our sponsors to represent them at the scheduled events and we intend to do it in a way that will make them proud." "I feel this program will do just that and we are all very excited." said team owner Adrian Berryhill.

Berryhill Dominates Will Rogers Speedway Two Day Show Tulsa, Ok. June 29, 2008 -
Tanner Berryhill may be temporarily sidelined from his regular job as
an ASA Stock Car competitor but his ability as a race winning driver continues
to impress wherever he goes. Friday night was the opening night of a two
day Outlaw micro sprint car series race at the impressive speed plant
Saturday nights event brought out a larger field of competitors to battle in the 100 degree heat of summer. Berryhill started his heat race in the sixth position and began to close in on the leaders as he diced the field and then back off the third place car settled in passing for third on the second to last lap of the ten lap event. When asked by the Vision team why he didn't go for the win, Berryhill responded " I wanted to secure an inside line for the feature event and not jeopardize his starting position by winning and getting put at the rear of the field by an inversion." The young thinking driver was correct as his mid pack run put him in the second row inside for the beginning of the final nights 30 lap main event.
Upon the drop of the main event Berryhill wasted no time as he put his number seventeen Sawyer Chassis three wide going into turn one. Upon the exit of turn two down the backstretch Berryhill had already opened up a commanding lead of eight car lengths over second place. It once again was a repeat of Friday nights main event except the caution flag would not fly and Berryhill was able to lap up to the Third position where he tucked in and followed the third place car with two to go and captured his third feature win in three starts at the fast high banked Will Rogers Speedway. " Man, this Sawyer chassis is an awesome handling car it was like I was on a rail just really easy to drive, what a great team and car." said Tanner after winning his third straight feature event at Will Rogers.

Injury Sidelines Tanner Berryhill For Rockingham ASA Challenge Race
While on long runs testing and racing his ASA stock car, Berryhill again began feeling pain in his back and lower neck. "It is my decision to find a replacement driver for the Rockingham race that will do a great job for Vision Racing, Enlyten and all of its sponsors". "I am saddened to end Tanners run for the title of "Rookie of the Year" this year but he is only fifteen and he will have the same opportunity next year". "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". "Berryhill will rejoin the Challenge series as soon as he is well and we anticipate that will be fairly soon as he is a strong, resilient young man and we are all proud of his accomplishments". said team owner and father Adrian Berryhill. 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. www.exceltherapyok.com
