The Great Clips team now sits in 15th position in the NASCAR Busch Series owner point standings.

Tyler’s thoughts on Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez:
“I‘m really looking forward to racing in Mexico City,” said Walker. “ Ihave never raced in another country andI think it is a good opportunity for NASCAR and the sponsors to grow. I haven’ t competed competitively on a road course
before, however I did go to the Bob Bondurant School of Racing and I think that experience will help me tremendously
this weekend.
“I think the biggest thing that I need to focus on this weekend is being cautious and knowing when to use the
brakes. I know I need to race smart and score a good finish for this Great Clips team.”
