Tyler Jet Motorsports

Tyler Jet Motorsports

Tyler Jet Motorsports was a NASCAR Winston Cup race team.

Tyler Jet Motorsports was owned by Tim Beverly, owner of the airplane sales company that shared a name with the race team, and was formed in 1998 after Beverly purchased the assets of Darrell Waltrip Motorsports|DarWal, Inc. and ISM Racing later in the year and merged them into one team.

Tyler Jet's original car was the #35 Tabasco Pontiac, which had been ISM's car driven by Todd Bodine, then Darrell Waltrip driving for Tyler Jet Motorsports before Tabasco pulled out of NASCAR following the 1998 season.

The 1999 season was the second strange season for TJM the #45 10-10-345 Lucky Dog car was driven by Rich Bickle and David Greenthey ran 28 races with 2 top 10s with Rich and had one pole with David. For the 2000 season, Tyler Jet switched to the #10 and hired Johnny Benson to pilot the car. Their first exposure came at the Daytona 500, where Benson's unsponsored Pontiac took the lead late in the race and held the lead for 39 laps, only to be passed by cars that had made full pit stops under a late race caution Benson was playing strategy, having only stopped for two tires and fuel his last stop and finish 12th.

Lycos signed on as sponsor for the #10 and stayed with them until the 2000 Pepsi 400, where Tyler Jet pulled them off the car due to nonpayment. They would run unsponsored for the next four races, but Beverly was forced to sell the team afterwards. The car, which had just acquired sponsorship from Aaron's, was sold to MB2 Motorsports, where it would continue to be run until the end of the 2005 season when the car number, sponsor Valvoline, and driver Scott Riggs would move to Evernham Motorsports. The old Tyler Jet team is now a part of Dale Earnhardt, Inc., who bought the successor team to MB2, Ginn Racing.
