Speedweeks Updates

Tuesday, February 10th - Well, loyal Vision Racing Enlyten race team supporters, I wish I had something good to report on from New Smyrna Speedway last night but I don’t. The number 17 of Tanner Berryhill was pacing the field when during a yellow pace lap two cars in front of him decided they wanted to vent their emotions on the track and the 14 car two cars in front of Tanner decided to jump on the brakes while taking the green flag start causing three car from behind to collect and flip the number 3 car and once again, the number 17 was a victim of circumstances destroying the car. The car was so heavily damaged that it was unable to continue. The back up car is prepared and ready to start tuning for Wednesdays event. Please keep Vision Racing team and Tanner in your prayers as this has been a very trying event for everyone. Stay tuned, for ALL things through Christ are possible!

Friday, February 6th - The Enlyten Vision Racing Team was again in the top three in practice times all day with solid long runs showing a good stable race car for the evening race at hand. Tanner Berryhill started in his fourth qualifying position with strong possibilities of taking the win. Upon the drop of the green flag the Enlyten number 17 passed the third place car around the top in turns one and two. 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.

Saturday, February 7th - Upon repairing the clutch the Vision Racing team worked hard to get the hard charging Ford Fusion number 17 of Tanner Berryhill back on top of the speed charts. 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 green flag the team agreed to have a strong finish and try to avoid any problems coming through the field from deep back. Berryhill charged forward passing a car with every lap. upon lap 10 the second caution flag fell after a hard impact with the back straightaway inside retaining wall by previous nights winner, Jimmy Warren. Upon the restart the number 17 was in the 16 position advancing seven positions. On lap 22 with three to go the Enlyten back Ford Fusion was charging and finished a strong 14th.

Sunday - Testing only no races. Fastest car in practice by 1/10th of a second.

Monday, February 9th - With a good strong performance Saturday night, the Enlyten Vision Racing team was certain to find its way back to a solid starting position for with a top ten finish in Mondays race. The Number 17 will start the field in the 14th position and was looking to a strong top five finish. 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.

Tuesday, February 10th - Working to build a new front end for the Ford Fusion Enlyten backed Number 17. We will overcome and success will be so much sweeter! updates of tonight's action coming soon.

Vision Racing 14 Year Old Sensation Sweeps Truck Series

TULSA, OK. (Sept 27, 2008) - Vision Racing Protege', Tanner Berryhill dominates the United States Truck Series event at the Altus Speedway 3/8 mile asphalt oval last Saturday night in front of a large crowd and strong full field of competitors. In only his 5th USST truck series start the 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.

Prior to the start of the Main event some minor changes were made to the National Cash Lenders.com Vision Racing Backed Ford after its driver noted a tight condition developed in the short qualifying race. With positive feedback the Vision Racing Team was able to make a spring and wedge adjustment and sent Tanner off to defend his qualifying effort. Upon taking the green flag Berryhill took a slight lead early on with heavy pressure from the #12 chevrolet of Kevin Jones. As the race proceeded Tanner informed his team that the truck was adapting well and felt he had the truck to beat. While anxious to take the victory Berryhill had to defend his stretching lead four times for restarts from accidents and spins throughout the event. "the night was very good and I just felt like I had the truck to beat and the restarts didn't really bother me too much because I knew I was going to win" said Berryhill of the intense pressure while restarting the event several times.

Upon lap 49 The young talent now nicknamed Tanner "broom" Berryhill, radioed his crew chief and team and said yeah baby! He captured his first main event and swept the entire event while no other competitor lead a single lap to him ...hence the nickname "Broom"! "Tanner has shown the ability to win in this series as with all series he has raced in with over 78 feature events and four championships to his credit, it was just a matter of time and not much time at that"! stated the Vision Racing Team owner.

Tanner will start his first ASA late model challenge series event at the 3/4 Mile Memphis Motorsports Park with sponsorship from National Cash Lenders.com. National Cash Lenders.com was a sponsor to Vision Racing in the ARCA ReMax Series and in the NASCAR Nationwide series with drivers Randy Lajoie and Damon Lusk. "We are so proud to have an opportunity to partner up at an early stage with Tanner and Vision Racing to promote our products in the markets they race in and move up each level all the way to his NASCAR career". Said company marketing manager and spokesman Michael Borrell.

Randy Lajoie and Vision Racing Unite For
Kansas Busch Series Event


Tulsa, Ok. (September 22, 2006) - - Adrian Berryhill, team owner of Vision Racing, announced today the signing of former NASCAR Busch Series champion Randy Lajoie to drive his No. 37 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in a one-race deal next Saturday at Kansas Speedway in the Yellow Transportation 300.

Lajoie, a two-time NBS champion in 1996 and 1997 will assist Vision Racing in various elements as the team tries to make a concrete platform in the NASCAR Busch Series.

“We’re very excited to have Randy join us for Kansas,” said Berryhill, who advanced his team from the ARCA RE/MAX Series earlier this month. “Randy Lajoie is a face that everyone knows and a name that speaks for itself. I feel that by having a veteran in our racecar, he can only steer us in the right direction as we plan to make our mark in this series.”

Berryhill continued, “Randy knows everything there is to know about the cars and the series. He is a champion. He is a champion to our sponsors next weekend and we feel that he can put our car upfront and give us some much-needed exposure. This is an awesome opportunity for our young and vibrant race team and I think this is the first of great things to come.”

Lajoie has two prior starts at Kansas Speedway occurring in 2001 and 2002. His best finish came in 2002 where he crossed the line 17th after starting 18th.

“I’m looking forward to driving for Vision Racing at Kansas,” said Lajoie. “If their vision is as good as mine, I think we can have a good weekend.”

“Randy has the experience on the track at Kansas and that will help us,” Berryhill explained. “He has run well there and is a contender on the mile and a half tracks and I plan to give him everything I can so he can get the job done.”

Vision Racing attempted to make their NBS debut a few weeks ago at Richmond. After a gallant effort, the team just missed the show with rookie driver Josh Krug. “We came a long way in a short time at Richmond,” recalled Berryhill, who will serve as the crew chief at Kansas. “We started off in the wrong direction, but by the end of qualifying, we came up just a little short. I’m proud of the gains we made at the track; we’re ready to move on.”

Krug, who has made quite an impression in the ARCA RE/MAX Series the past two seasons is still with Vision Racing but is unable to run next weekend’s event because of the approval process in NASCAR. “Josh isn’t approved to run the bigger tracks yet, but we wanted to run Kansas so we looked at our options and knew Randy Lajoie was the best fit for this additional race,” Berryhill explained.

The team will roll out a Chevrolet Monte Carlo recently purchased from Doug Stringer formally of Akins Motorsports, but now currently partnered with Todd Braun of Braun Racing. Pro Motor Engineering (pme) will supply the horsepower at Kansas. “We have stout equipment. Both of the operations that we have purchased our equipment have proven themselves as winners in the NASCAR Busch Series, that’s good for us. Our entire team deserves to have the best equipment possible and I think we’ve done a good job in that department,” added Berryhill.

Backing the team’s primary effort is Americash Advance.com. Americash Advance. com is a leader in the small loan cash advance industry that provides loans to consumers through direct deposit into the consumers bank account within one business day all from the comfort of their home or office. It is a great service to consumers who are in the need for quick cash up to $1500. The funds can literally be sent to the consumers account within 30 minutes of making the application with Americash Advance.com. This could be real handy for the race fan that has spent all their cash at the races over the weekend. Meeks Lithograph is excited about the additional exposure for the printing giant that has accounts such as Arbys, Hilti and Quiktrip.

“Americash Advance has been with Vision Racing since their inception and we’re looking forward to having them on board at Kansas, Berryhill noted. “ We’re looking for a strong run at our home track and I think the key elements are in piece in order to make that happen.”

Meeks and Henry Primeaux Kia will serve as associate sponsors on the No. 37 also at Kansas. “It’s an honor for us to carry the Meeks and Henry Primeaux Kia colors next weekend. Both of them have moved up from our ARCA program to our new endeavor in NASCAR. Our sponsors are committed to us in Kansas and we’re looking forward to working with them for a long time to come.”

Vision Racing has immediate marketing opportunities available for their NASCAR Busch Series program for the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Interested parties are urged to contact marketing@visionracingteam.com
