Concord, NC (February 7, 2007) - For the second consecutive year, Tyler Green has captured a WinterHeat Series Legends title at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Green, in only his second Legends division championship, won four of eight races en route to 2006/2007 WinterHeat Series Championship in the Legends Pro division. In 2005/2006, he won the WinterHeat Series Championship in the Legends Young Lions division.

"Winning my first Pro division championship is something very special to me," said Green, who drives the No. 20 Jeff Green Fan Club entry. "The goal is always to win, but to actually accomplish it is something else. Many professional drivers have won Legends championships before moving on and I hope I am able to achieve the same level of success."

The 18-year-old from Concord, NC hopes to move up the ranks in 2007 racing season.

"I’d like to race professionally," said Green. "The next step for me is to race full-size cars but like everyone else I need sponsors to do that. I know I have a lot to offer a sponsor but if it doesn’t happen right away, that’s ok too. I’m having lots of fun racing in the Legends Pro division."

Green, who began kart racing at 8, has now scored three championships in his short racing career. In 2004, he won the Lowe’s Motor Speedway Bandelero Championship. He comes from a family with a rich racing heritage. His grandfather, David Sr, was successful drag racer. His father, Mark, has competed in the NASCAR Busch Series since 1995. David , his uncle, won the 1994 NASCAR Busch Championship and Jeff, his other uncle, won the 2000 NASCAR Busch Series Championship and currently drives the No. 66 Best Buy Chevrolet in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series.

"I couldn’t have done this without the support of my family." said Green. "My mom, my dad, my uncles, they are all a big part of my success. I can’t thank them enough.
