Accomplishments:
Most Memorable Racing Moment:
It's between August 1st, 2004 at Sauble Speedway when he was able to run in the same race as his father and grandfather, Norm Mackereth, aged 78, and his first feature win at Flamboro Speedway in 2007.
2008 Season's Rear-View Mirror Reflection:
Tyler was only able to run 13 of 17 races due to school commitments, but he was in 4th place in club championship points when he left for school with 4 races remaining, and his car ended up in 6th place overall. He also won the TQ National Championship at Barrie Speedway in August, and had 6 Top-5 Finishes, and 12 Top-10 Finishes.
2009 Outlook:
It will be a similar schedule due to Tyler's university commitment, but the car will be driven by Andy Mackereth, his uncle, and Craig Mackereth, his father, both past club champions, when Tyler returns to Florida.
