The Torch Team headed to their first big SRL Southwest Tour Race at The All American Speedway on April 3rd.
With much anticipation the team was improving every time they hit the track. As the race started Tj was quickly moving up thru the field when the sun and a dark car ended his race early, the car spun in turn four and Tj had no where to go! Tj said, "That's racing and we hope to be in Vegas on May 3rd to prove we are a team to contend with". Tj is working hard to secure a sponsor for the next race and the crew is ready to go. However, not all was lost, Tj was awarded the "Ron's Rear Ends Hard Luck Award" for his efforts. A big thank you to the track, officials, John Woods and all our crew for all their hard work!!!
If you know of a business or someone who would like to sponsor Tj in the SRL Southwest Tour please contact us. Thank you!!!

Tater Cup and the Showdown Downtown
Written by Idaho Racing News
Tuesday, 16 September 2008 13:36
Tyler Monroe brought the Winged Sprints to the green with Austin Hager on the outside for the first ever Tater Cup 100 lap race dubbed the “Showdown in Downtown” Monroe took off for a quick lead which ended up being the safest place to be. Before the field completed the first lap Hager’s coolant line broke spraying water all over him which caused him to slow on the front stretch stacking up half field behind. Dave Quick tumbled to the infield. Kenny Hamilton slid to a stop in the dirt with major front end damage that a fast working pit crew was able to repair before the race restarted. Matt Cullum and Cody Veenstra piled up on the front stretch and Cory Lockwood nosed in to the front stretch wall. Chris Rattarree also was involved but was able to continue without pitting. Read More
TJ Takes Second at his first Ledgend

The Legends 40 lap invitational Austin Christopherson memorial traveling cup race started with Darin Turpin on the pole flanked by Rob Collins on the outside. As the green flag flew Turpin pulled ahead but Tyler Monroe moved up and put some pressure on the leader. An early wreck on turn one involving Lloyd Bigler, Rob Collins, and another driver stopped the race for cleanup. As the race restarted Turpin had the lead with Monroe and Camron Madsen right behind. Monroe and Madsen moved to side by side but after one lap a disabled car brought out another caution. Turpin again had the lead at the restart but last week’s mid race leader, Travis Anderson, had by this point moved to fourth place on a mad dash to the front. After two laps Nick Johnson, who started tenth, moved up beside the leaders and passed on the outside and ran away from the pack putting lapped cars and over a half lap between him and Monroe by the time the race was a third over. Another caution on lap 14 brought the leader back in sight of the second place Monroe except for three lapped cars that partially blocked his view. Johnson took off at the green and Monroe quickly dispatched the lapped cars but still could not keep up. One more lap brought out one more caution but this time Monroe was tight to Johnson’s bumper at the restart and held on for a lap or two but Johnson again left the pack behind. As the race wound down to 25 laps Johnson had a large lead followed by TJ Monroe Camron Madsen and Travis Anderson.
