What happened to Tyler Walker at Chico? I read that he was in the lead and then nothing.

ROD

Maybe he saw a police car and freaked out and let the cops on a high speed multi-state chase?

You are a f'n idiot.

He had dropped back to like 7th or 8th.  Then on one caution he repeatedly didnt line up in the right position after being instructed to several times, so they black flagged and DNQ'd him.

Actually, now that I look it up, it appears they listed him 17th and he made $800.  Either way, he was black flagged.

Sounds like this could be another video to add to the youtube archive.

Pretty interesting discussion on Tyler's FB page. Looks like there were issue's with his radio for the main portion of the night that the WOO would not address. Shane Stewart also chimes in saying "nobody else had a problem" and "Tyler needs help". Shane really has nothing better to do than get on FB and state his opinions?

I'm just guessing but I'm going to say Tyler was pretty pissed by not having a working radio as well as falling back after starting on the pole. He probably wasn't in the "cooperative" mood and was being an ass. Thats just my opinion. That being said, I still love watching Tyler race and have accepted stuff like this will happen from time to time.

Imagine that Tyler Walker acting like an ass, better that than killing someone on the track

oh the humanity....

Ascot was the greatest of all time..

West Capital wasn't half bad either..

Life is good...

Maybe so, but the history is there ain't it???

let's open up your medicine chest and see how long your "history" goes back...

and, he's right...

A Tyler Walker thread with only 10 replies and  died in less than one day - imagine that!

No doubt in my mind as Tyler has always been an Ass and had issues with people, race teams and organizing body's even when he may have been straight. He has wasted far more opportunities than most people can ever dream about. No doubt in my mind that he was being an Ass to WoO and they did the right thing by not putting up with his antics.

No doubt in your mind?? How can you be so sure? Can you share your insider knowledge with all of us, please? Until somebody tells me the facts, I could assume that his radio was malfunctioning, he was off by a car or two while trying to get lined up, it happened twice, the WoO got pissed off because it was TW, and they booted him. Being the angel the he is, he quietly returned to his trailer where he discussed his frustrations with his team, and they left. Seems logical to me. That's what you would all be thinking if it were anybody but TW. Somebody has to know the details, anybody that actally knows what happened care to share?

Steve Kinser is deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other, you think anybody's black flagging him?

Lots more questions in my mind than just the Outlaw officials got bad mad because it was TW.  If they tried multiple ways to line him up and he refused, that's on him, not the officials.

couldn't he have stopped by an official and told them his raceiver wasn't working and he didn't know where to line up prior to the black flag?

DId the officials try to "point him" to the right spot on the track manually and he ignore it?

I;ve seen numerous tracks do line-ups with Raceivers (and officials helpoing point guys where they need to be), I find it hard to believe they didn't do what they always do and eventually got to the point of disqualification.

I get all that. Just seems that everybody is speculating, maybe at some point we'll all get confirmation of how it all went down. 

Agree with Vande on this.  I don't need facts at this point.  I have seen enough of his facts to know that speculation is probably good enough at this point.  He is a spoiled brat and without seeing one bit of evidence, I will go with what Shane Stewart said.  Even so, having a radio should have nothing to do with how his night went--NOTHING!  Whining about it or even mentioning it to anyone but the WOO officials after the races is proof of being a little brat.  Like Vande said, they attempt to put drivers in the correct spot manually.  Is it possible he was given the shaft?  Sure.  But I'm not giving the little you know what the benefit of the doubt. 

As far as what one earlier poster said about Shane Stewart having nothing better to do than post on social media?  A full-time racer shouldn't have time to post on social media?  I post on social media and have a full time job and two part time gigs going.  Why would Shane Stewart not have time for this?  I am lost.  Not that Shane Stewart is the nicest guy I have ever met but I am thinking most of you would be a lot happier if your daughter brought home Shane Stewart than Tyler Walker.  I think I will side with Shane on this one with one exception--Tyler doesn't need help anymore--he just needs to go somewhere with no people or racing.  He is beyond help by now.  Problem solved. 

The fact that he was on social media didn't bother me. I thought it was weird he was on Facebook bad mouthing another competitor. Seems a little childish to me. Call Tyler up or handle it in person if you have a problem.

I'm sure Shane has a phone number too.  You could also find him at every outlaw race.  

Is it possible that there was nothing wrong with his radio?  Maybe his vertigo issues have caused hearing loss.  LMFAO!
