 Tyler Millwood Racing headed to the Carolina’s this weekend for a triple-header of racing; quarantine style.
Tyler opened up the triple-header Thursday night at the TriCounty Racetrack in Brasstown, North Carolina for the Schaeffer’s Oil Invitational. Among the 25 cars invited, Tyler qualified 11th with a 12.854 second lap. With a 5th place finish in one of two heat races, Tyler would roll off 15th in the 40-lap feature. After suffering a flat tire around the halfway point, Tyler was able to rebound and rally back through the field to finish in the 11th position.
 On Friday night, the Tyler Millwood Racing team headed south to the Lancaster Motor Speedway Caskey/Munn in Lancaster, South Carolina for the Lancaster Lidlifter. Tyler was 19th fastest out of 25 cars in qualifying with a 19.147 second lap around the big half-mile. Tyler then started and finished 5th in his heat race to roll off 19th in the 40 lapper. Surviving a caution filled feature, Tyler gained 12 spots to finish in the 7th position. (Blake Harris photo | H3 Photography)
 Tyler Millwood Racing then headed to Gaffney, South Carolina’s Cherokee Speedway on Saturday to round out the triple-header with the Palmetto Invitational. With a very hefty 36-car field, Tyler qualified 14th in his qualifying group with a 16.499 second lap. A 6th place finish in his heat race afterwards set him up to start in a B-Main in order to make the show. Tyler made it up to the 5th position in the B-Main but unfortunately did not transfer in to the 40-lap main event.
