Newsmaker of the Week // Tyler Thompson

Tyler Thompson won the Oswego Classic for Supermodifieds for the second time in his young career last Sunday afternoon.

Unlike his first win, a race in which Thompson admitted to having had no particular race strategy in mind, this Classic drive was carefully orchestrated in advance. He held back, planning to go all out for the last 50 laps. But when a rain delay occurred, Thompson modified his race plan to go all out on the restart to gain the lead, then conserve as much as he could to protect the top spot. It worked and he won one of the most fabled races in the northeast.

For executing a winning drive so successfully in a race of such magnitude, Tyler Thompson is a Newsmaker!
