Kyler Johnson\u2019s Sprint Car career began for the same reason as many other drivers: he wanted to be just like dad.<\/span><\/p>\n

That goal evolved into to a full-time career with the American Sprint Car Series National Tour for the Quinter, KS native.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad [Cody] ran Sprint Cars for years, that\u2019s all I ever knew growing up,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cHe ran 360s and 410s around the Midwest, and <\/span>that\u2019s<\/span> basically all<\/span> I\u2019ve<\/span> ever been around. So, whenever I was old enough to get into a Sprint Car, we took the chance at it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After a few seasons of competition in the karting world, Johnson made the move into a 305 Sprint Car in 2019 at age 15. While the entry-level division served as a good starting point for Johnson\u2019s career, he wasted no time in taking the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not going to go anywhere in a 305 Sprint Car,\u201d Johnson said. \u201c<\/span>T<\/span>hat\u2019s just basically all we had around us was 305<\/span>s, so it was just easiest to run those. <\/span>And then once <\/span>we<\/span> got fed up with all the 305 <\/span>stuff<\/span>, we decided to move up to a 360.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While most drivers opt to initially run a localized schedule to get their feet wet at the higher level, a lack of options close to home meant that <\/span>option<\/span> didn\u2019t<\/span> make sense for the team. Johnson\u2019s alternative? Dive head-first into the National Tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2022, there wasn\u2019t any 360 racing around us at all,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cOur nearest track was 81 Speedway, which is still three hours from us, and they only had one show a year. So, we <\/span>basically figured<\/span> \u2018Well, if we\u2019re going to run 360s, we might as well tough it out and run the whole National deal.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>We definitely learned a lot that first year, never even driving a 360 until that first show at Devil\u2019s Bowl<\/span> [Speedway]<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

That first appearance resulted in a Last Chance Showdown exit on <\/span>night one<\/span> and a 20th-place Feature finish <\/span>in the finale<\/span>, but things began trending upward soon after.<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s <\/span>rookie<\/span> season with the Series ended with a <\/span>ninth-place points finish and his first-career top five <\/span>at Clay County Fair Speedway in September.<\/span> Season two brought steady improvements for the No. <\/span>45X, as Johnson ended <\/span>2023<\/span> sixth in the <\/span>standings after collecting his first National Tour podium at 81 Speedway along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Entering 2024, <\/span>the primary storyline surrounding ASCS was World Racing Group\u2019s purchase of the Series<\/span> in March. <\/span>Midway through the inaugural year <\/span>under the new ownership, Johnson <\/span>spoke highly of the improvements he has seen as a competitor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the change was definitely much needed<\/span>,\u201d Johnson said. \u201c<\/span>This just gives a much better platform, definitely a lot more security as far as <\/span>money and all that goes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Series <\/span>wasn\u2019t<\/span> the only one making changes over the winter, as Johnson <\/span>elected<\/span> to switch engine providers in hopes of finding more reliability in 2024. However, the move <\/span>hasn\u2019t<\/span> gone to plan, as Johnson has still experienced engine issues on multiple occasions across the first 10 events of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve already kind of steered away from that engine builder<\/span> too, we\u2019re looking to go to one of the big three engine builders, either Don Ott, Ryder or Fisher<\/span>,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cWe\u2019re <\/span>not sure what we\u2019re going to do yet, we\u2019re just <\/span>trying to limp through this year. We\u2019ve had a lot of engine problems already this year<\/span>.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On nights where the engine has held together, Johnson has been competitive all year long. He began the season with back-to-back top 10s at Super Bee Speedway and Red Dirt Raceway and picked up two more during Speedweek at Creek County Speedway and Tri-State Speedway. <\/span>Johnson said finding more pace at the beginning of the night will be key to ending it toward the front on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEach time we hit the track, we have to make the best of it,\u201d Johnson said. \u201c<\/span>This is one of the stoutest groups we\u2019ve had in the past three years<\/span>. It\u2019s hard night in night out, you\u2019ve got to be on kill every second. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>If we could just qualify a little bit better, I feel like we would be much better off<\/span>. Each night it seems like we go in and we don\u2019t qualify very good<\/span>, so that puts us <\/span>behind the eight-ball right off the bat. We\u2019re coming from the back of a Heat Race, <\/span>fifth or sixth, and that puts us starting at least 15th in the Feature<\/span>, and you\u2019ve got a lot of work to do at that point.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Next up on the National Tour calendar is a trip to Johnson\u2019s home state, with a Kansas doubleheader on tap starting Friday, July 19, at Lakeside Speedway and wrapping up Saturday, July 20, at 81 Speedway. Johnson is still searching for his first Series win, and his past performances at both facilities put them on the shortlist of tracks where he could make his first appearance in Victory Lane.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLakeside, <\/span>we seem <\/span>like we\u2019ve had really good speed there<\/span>,\u201d Johnson said. \u201c<\/span>I know our results don\u2019t really show it because <\/span>we\u2019ve blown up two engines there, but we always seem to qualify good<\/span>, we have <\/span>really good<\/span> speed there, so hopefully we can keep that speed up and keep our engine together<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then 81<\/span>, that\u2019s my favorite track. I\u2019d consider that my home track even though we have tracks closer<\/span>. My Dad has a lot of history there, he won a lot of races there, <\/span>that was his home base whenever he was running 360 <\/span>stuff<\/span>. That was where my first 305 win was, <\/span>my first podium with ASCS, we\u2019ve had <\/span>really good<\/span> luck there every time. It\u2019s a track that we\u2019re pretty familiar with, <\/span>and we seem to always run <\/span>good<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans planning to attend the 81 Speedway event can <\/span>purchase tickets<\/span><\/a> online in advance, while tickets for both races will be available at the track on race day.
