Tanner Berryhill Wins Kemper Bullring Nationals December 14, 2009 – Kansas City, KS. With very little notice the Vision Racing Team decided to go seek the top honors of the Bullring Nationals Indoor $3000 to win Outlaw Micro Sprint Championship. They asked their young driver if he wanted to go and without hesitation he jumped on board and said “heck yes, lets do it”.
The Kemper Arena race is a huge race with teams coming from all over the Nation competing for the huge purse. “I want to say, Wow, what a great job Danny Lasoski and Scott did with the race track and the general organization of the race”. “We competed there last year and this year was an amazing improvement and I am certain this is a race that you have to win if you’re a driver” said car chief Darin Robison.
Berryhill made an amazing pass for the final time on lap eighteen to secure the top spot and the win. The battle between Berryhill and Felker was an exciting side by side, nose to tail race in lapped traffic with the two changing positions several times before Berryhill got some open track and stretched it to dominate the event.
“We are so proud of Tanners versatility being able to jump from a 300 lap stock car event going 160 mph to a short track dirt open wheel event and competing to win no matter where or what he is in”, “it’s a lot of fun and exciting for our team and sponsors” said team owner Adrian Berryhill. “Terry (McCarl) said it best when describing this weekend’s run – “That was a royal butt whooping”.
Vision Racing will begin Tanner’s ARCA career this following season and will also compete in the all new ASA Challenge Stock Car Series in hopes of the championship and the rookie of the year honors.

15 Year Old Berryhill onTop of World 300 Jefferson, GA. November 15,2009 - The first ever World 300 at the newly rebuilt Gresham Motorsports Park in Jefferson Georgia was held this last weekend and the team effort of Vision Racing and TD racing produced another strong finish for its young driving sensation Tanner Berryhill. Coming off of a second place finish at Iowa Speedway and a seventh place finish at Memphis Motorsports park in the ASA Late Model Challenge Series, the young Oklahoma driver was ready to see what he could do down South against some of the toughest teams and drivers in the country. The Enlyten backed number 17 Ford Fusion posted a strong qualifying lap of 16:502, which was over a full second under the previous track record, for a solid 15th starting position of the 54 cars entered.
The Field was set for the Sunday running of the World 300
and Tanner Berryhill
The Young up and coming driver moved his mount quickly through the field and found himself with a shot at the win with a late race re-start bunching the field up for an exciting race for the win on lap 271 with 29 to go the Enlyten Ford Fusion was in the seventh position and handling very well according to its driver. The final re-start of the World 300 was an exciting one as Berryhill got a great re-start and was in fifth position as the cars entered into the third turn and in position to take the fourth spot. "I could get in the corners a lot harder than the super late models but the crate engine just wouldn’t pull them off if they pinched me down at all, so I just tried to make my entry as wide as I could to keep momentum but you just had to work so hard to run against the supers, you couldn’t make a single momentum mistake or they would pull you really hard". Berryhill said.
As the checkers fell, Berryhill would finish with a top five in the fifth position and end a remarkable season for the young driver. Vision Racing and Tanner Berryhill have posted nine top 15's, six top 10's and four top 5's in only 13 starts. Even more impressive for Berryhill and Vision Racing is that they have only competed in the ASA Late Model Touring Series or Championship type events such as the World 300 in 2009. "We took a true rookie in late models and put him out there to compete with the best in the business and he did exactly what we wanted him to do by mid season, become a threat to win wherever he showed up and I think his record speaks to that", said Adrian Berryhill team owner. "If a major player in racing wants raw, humble talent that is young, but mature in his driving ability they need to take notice, this kid is the real deal", said team owner Berryhill.

" I dont know if someone was putting oil down or what but the car just stepped out while I was making a move on the zero car of Josh Nelms." "I really had a great day racing and I learned a lot racing in the front with the veterans, watching their lines really helped me get around here a lot better, Madison is kinda tricky". "I hope all the people with Enlyten know how happy I am to produce the results they are looking for and know they will only get better" Said Berryhill The Enlyten sponsored Ford Fusion ended the day in the 12th position.

Tanner
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
