Brian Tyler is an entry-level professional competing in national single-class and multiclass racing in the United States. He raced IndyCar on oval circuits in 1998 and 1999 for Truscelli Team Racing, then returned to competition in 2021 with C & R Lightning Crown in NASA, where he has driven Super Unlimited closed-wheel cars and Thunder Roadster tube-frame roadsters across nine starts. His most recent NASCAR Xfinity appearance came in 2005.[1]
Tyler took three wins and six podiums across 28 career starts. His NASA record produced all three of his victories and all his podium finishes; his IndyCar and NASCAR Xfinity campaigns yielded no wins or podiums. He finished 44th in NASCAR Xfinity points in his final indexed season, 2005.[2]
The fields he competed in included established professionals. Tyler regularly finished behind Tony Stewart and Scott Goodyear in IndyCar, where both were far more experienced; in NASCAR Xfinity, he nonetheless beat Stewart three times and Kyle Busch, a Platinum-graded professional and two-time national series champion, once. His wins and podiums came in the multiclass NASA environment where his pace in the Super Unlimited class placed him ahead of the broader field.
