Anyone witness the Facebook live video of TW smoking crack in his car with a girl passed out in the front seat?  (Don't get pissed at me, he's the one who decided to share it for the world to see) 

 I'm still leaning towards vertigo as being the cause.................................and please don't say "be nice, he needs help."  It's been over 10 years.  

To be honest, I had to look and see if this was an old thread brought forward by the spammers that keep popping up.

Re: Tyler Walker:
Hey hey Mama!
Look at me!
I'm on my way to the promised land.
I'm on the highway to hell...

I saw the video link posted on one of the sprint car Facebook pages---apparently he just posted it.  He looks like he's 70 years old.  And before anyone decides to give more sympathy, I want to reiterate-----he was in a car.  Most cars have 4 wheels and an engine.  I'm going to assume he's not going to wait until the crack leaves his system before he starts it up and drives away with everyone's sons and daughters on the highway.

Get this guy off the @#%ing street!

Was it a recent photo?

Couldn't find the video... hope he gets his act together...

Brand new video---It's been removed it appears.  No one to blame for this one but himself as he was clearly filming himself the entire time................

I can find a couple of references to it, but that is about it.  One poster asking "who had Tyler Walker smoking crack on FB live on their 2024 bingo card?"    The other read "Tyler Walker smoking crack on Facebook live in a Tesla with the sunroof held together by duct tape, is next level crackhead shit"

I actually did see the video-----they're not making it up

I saw the video and there was also some sort of post on twitter or x whatever it is now about him going to show where he lives on skid row in dtla or whatever the heck and being the toughest place on earth or something to that effect. It was grammatically hard to read and probably needs a professional to translate. I fell out of sympathy for him or anyone like him a long time ago. Had all of the advantages and opportunities in the world and poor decision making the he himself made is the reason why he is where he is. It is hard to feel sorry for someone who knows better but yet continues to do stupid crap. And it has been longer than 10years. He was suspended from Nascar back in 06 or 07 for drugs, been busted multiple times after the fact, and had multiple opportunities given to him that most people wouldn't get if they screwed up like he did, and he still continues to act the way he does. And I'm sorry, he was not that talented in a racecar to get as much benefit of the doubt as some give him. 

Looks like he's living in a RV on skid row. His Tesla has bullet holes on the drivers side. He's run out all his options and as what usually happens this probably won't have a happy ending.

He was in and out of sobriety for years. But he always cared enough to try and hide it. The fact that he posted that video tells me he now sees zero value in his own life which means the unhappy ending probably isn't too far off.

No sympathy for him at all and hopefully most people don't have any for him either. Is it sad? Absolutely, but he has been given counltess chances to get his act together and never could sustain it. There are racers who strive every day and work countless hours to be the best they can and don't have a fraction of the natural talent that he had.    

Tyler had a great opportunity. Crack has claimed several promising young and older people. He could wheel a sprint car and had is foot in the door of NASCAR but blew it all. He will end up a statistic of a wasted talent sounded like He had things a lttle to easy and tended to think he was entitled. Not the first or last.Probably will be remembered for his backflips and not his talent.Sad!

shades of Bobby East. 

Within hearing distance of Tri City Speedway

Remember him starting 10 (full invert) in his Qualifying Heat at the Knoxville Nationals in the Airsep Car. I swear he was driving that right rear right off of the turn 2 wall. Won the Heat... (I think Sammy also won from 10th that same day). What a shame he got that Monkey on his back and what waste of God given talent. He has likely fried any Racing abilities that he ever had by now but hopefully he can turn it around and salvage the rest of his life before something happens that he cannot undo! 

Yep, got some sympathy from some folks to send him some money "for the car charger" (yeah, right).

The whole bad boy/skate bro who drives a sprint car thing was a vibe when he was 18.  The problem is he's now 44 years old and still acting like he's 18.  It's downright pathetic.
