Tyler Walker and his girlfriend were dropped at Adelaide airport, South Australia this morning by team owner Reeve Kruck. A story on "speedcafe" says the team has run out spares after a rediculous amount of accidents. Search the net for more nfo but bottom line is, regular aussie driver for Titan racing, Darren Jensen, will fill the seat for the next 2 nights of racing while Kruck tries to get another American to Australia to finish the season.

American Sprintcar star Tyler Walker has parted ways with the Titan Racing outfit midway through his Australian Tour.

For Titan Racing owner Reeve Kruck Sprintcar Racing is about winning and having fun while doing it, and it seems that five crashes in seven races doesn’t tick either of those two boxes.

“We had five crashes in seven nights, in Adelaide we crashed twice in the same night, which isn’t a lot of fun,” said Kruck.

“We’ve even run out of spare parts in the truck and I’ve never done that in all my time in the sport so something had to change. As of last night Tyler is no longer driving for the team.”

Kruck has spent the past 24 hours scrambling for a suitable replacement to drive the Titan Garages and Carports entry in the upcoming major events such as the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic, National Championships and remaining rounds of World Series Sprintcars Championship.

“I’ve already been on the phone to a number of guys in America, they’re all checking their schedules and I should have a bigger picture tonight. Hopefully I’ll be able to announce someone by tomorrow,” said Kruck.

“In the meantime Darrell Hodges will drive for us in the next couple of rounds of World Series at Avalon and Warrnambool before our replacement driver lands in Australia.”

As a result of Walker’s departure, the Titan team is sitting our of tonight’s seventh round of the World Series Sprintcars Championship at Mount Gambier in South Australia.

Gee! Is anyone really shocked at this???

wow 5 wrecks in 7 races. Damn his morale has to be low.

It's probably a good thing he got out before he started winning down there. One more failed backflip could end his career lol

do it in the dirt

It will not be long now until the a$$ kissing Walker fan's come on here and try to defend him.Why ? Because he has so much talent behind the wheel of a sprint car ? I would be willing to bet Walker could (God Forbid) go "Postal" or pull an "O.J" and the same people would come on here and defend him because "he sure is a talented sprint car driver" Funny that the caliyoutube video that was pulled from this board is now posted on the Aussie boards(and not by me) .Alot fans over there are NOT impressed by Tyler and his antics!!! But that is OK because "he sure is a talented sprint car driver"

I won't puck up Tyler from the airport but you can sure bet I would pick up his girlfriend...

is this the same guy who kicked the light pole at Manzanita 20 years ago...lmao....

They need to call daryn pittman!

where is Henry Chinaski - on a plane to LAX?

certainly TW is far superior to the drivers who DID NOT WRECK...he is simply "misunderstood" by people "WHO DON'T GET IT"...including the car owners "WHO HAVE HAD IT"!

Been a fan of Walker for several years. We all know he's put up some spectacular runs in the past and I'm not going to start bashing him now but based off of that said video of him outside that LA nightclub, he needs to redeem himself a bit.

In hindsight, Kruck should have never gotten rid of Pittman. That was one of the biggest slaps in the face I've ever seen in sprint car racing. But Daryn seems to be running better than he ever has as well.

Don't know about the light pole but he did make the worst move in a sprint car ever, and destroyed the Gasman.

Happy and prosperous New Year

With Walker, its not win or wreck trying, its be up front in the top five or wreck trying to get there. Sure a lot of talent, but has wrecked as much equipment, on average, as the worst 'wreckign' offender in sprintcar racing. Feel free to throw other names in here who have caused a lot of carnage on the track (and outside bars)

 Lawlessness and liberalism equals Hell.  NY City, 
Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, Minnepolis, etc. We saw it. 
Burning hundreds of buildings, a thousand assaults and 
dozens of murders. Getting worser and worser.

Is this the same driver that cost Jason Meyers the Kville Nationals by not pulling to the pits but instead rolled to a stop on the track @ start/finish to get some TV time ? I thought so !

Is this the same driver that took out 3 drivers in a span of 5 laps at the National Open?

Now thats funny!

Sounds like theres some jealousy playin through here just like on the thread about the video outside the bar in L.A. If your truly a hater than you would not even mention his name let alone come on this board and fuel the fire. All your doin is making people curious....and thats what sells my friend....thats what sells. Peace 410show 4life.

The second yellow didn't do anything

The only person that lost that race was Meyers
