EDMOND, Okla. - Propps racing out of Edmond, Oklahoma is proud to announce that Tyler Propps will compete full-time with the O'Reilly NCRA presented by ICM/Ethanol modified division with hopes of earning that series rookie of the year honors.

 

   The twenty-one year old has been racing since the age of fifteen. Tyler started in the modified division back in 2002, with his first race coming at the three-eighths mile oval of Enid Speedway in Enid, Oklahoma. His first full season at his home track (State Fair Speedway) in Oklahoma City came in 2003 where he finished eighth in final points aboard at 1991shop built car.

 

   Tyler's father, J.D. is no stranger to local racing as he has been a car owner since 1988 when he teamed up with the late Matt Davis. He has owned three pro stocks, three factory stocks, four modifieds, one kid sprint, one mini late model and one, eleven-second drag car in the 80's. Among his former drivers include Billy South, Bobby Smith, Shawn Jorski, Jay Sale, Sammy Potter while he has sponsored cars driven by Joe Wood, Jr., Goob Lawson, Mike Jorski, Bert Woodring and Charles Holley, Jr. While he had made many pleasant memories with the above mentioned drivers, nothing gives him more satisfaction than being the car owner for Tyler. All this with FORD power.

   After purchasing a TRE by Bone chassis from Johnny (Baby Bone), Jr. back in October of last year, the Propps are looking for a strong, yet learning experience this year with the NCRA modifieds.

   "We're looking forward to all the races that we will compete in with the exception of Belleville," said JD. "Belleville is a high speed track that requires a strong motor and speeds around 150 mph. or better. We do want to run for points and measure ourselves against some strong competition but without losing site as this being for fun. With our past finishes at TMS (15th in the "A") and making the show at Paris (Tx) and Pocola (OK), we thinks we could make some of these shows. The local success we've had here recently {top 5 or better last 3 weeks} helped us make our choice to run NCRA and want to see what we really have for tough local competition."

   Along with TRE by Bone chassis, the Propps racing team would like to thank and continue to welcome the following sponsors that make this father/son team possible: JD's Bobcat Service, Bobcat of Oklahoma and Butler Brothers Trucking.
