How I Got The Ride With Shark Racing And What's Next......

[@jwahrmund]

No matter what, you’re still my favorite race car driver. I understand you have goals and desires, but no matter what, there are still a lot of folks that you make happy and excited when any car you drive gets out on the track. You have resparked my passion for racing. It hasn’t been since the 70s and 80s when I was excited about watching a driver on the track. Whether it was hanging off the back of stands and watching who was going to be there that night at cottage grove, or lining up to get in the pits and ask for autograph. Back then, the driver was Jay Bugbee. Today I’m grateful to say that driver is Tanner Holmes. 👍🏻

[@LgnSknks541]

Very cool story. How surreal to have Bobby Allen notice the talent in that 18T and come looking for who's under the helmet.

[@davidvanbrunt4233]

A summer that people dream of, such a great experience !!!

[@johncarter1137]

Bobby could see that you take care of your equipment, and that's what he wanted. I think for not knowing most of the tracks, you were impressive. Best wishes for what comes next. God Bless!

[@mikegoodwin45]

You are living your dream! RIP THE LIP1 🏆🏁

[@TylerCoolGuy88]

Glad you got a once in a lifetime opportunity with Shark Racing and get to see you race during the Outlaws weekend at Port Royal. No matter what your 2024 plans are, I will continue to support you whether you are back with Shark Racing, with another team (on national level), or in the family car.

[@cyclingbutterbean]

What else can be said? Well I'd like to say THANK YOU to you for taking ALL of us along on what, as you say was an opportunity of a lifetime. The phrase "living' the dream" comes to mind. You have and are living that dream. Couldn't be more pleased for you AND your family. A prime example of hard work paying off. Again if Bobby Allen asked you FIRST, he sees something. He took a chance and I am quite certain he was pleased with that decision. Sure everyone wants to win. That's the goal ALWAYS. You didn't wreck his cars. You didn't make him look like a fool for putting you in that seat. Hell you even brought along your OWN crew member Carly! Again I am certain Shark Racing was happy to have Carly along too. I am sure she was like a sponge working with them. It also added piece of mind for you on that journey. Shark Racing is a family operation and it probably felt good to have a member of your own family right there in the thick of it. You saw some great tracks. Turned some great laps. I am sure from a sheer speed perspective The Grove just plain blew your mind. Talk about going fast! Eldora was probably a blast too. Just wish it was in better shape surface wise. Hold your head high Tanner! You done good. No , make that you done GREAT. Keep on keepin' on buddy!

[@markwatkins5416]

You and Carly were very impressive with the WOO. Good job learning the tracks, setups and bringing a raceable car back at the end of the night.

[@H3110NU]

Any chance we can meet Bobby on the blog? Seems like an interesting guy with a ton of stories. Just think it. 2022 was Carly’s accident and then a year later you’re touring with a national series. Crazy how things can change….

[@theamateurhistorycollector2633]

I was rooting for you in the 1t

[@davidsallas7049]

I have always said that if you keep doing what you’re doing it’s just matter of time before you got notice. Your a good clean driver and have a great attitude, with your fans and interviews.

[@corybeauchamp7377]

It's nice to hear you and see you respect and thank Bobby for this opportunity he picked the right guy to drive for him, and to see you and Carly on a pro team, I couldn't be more excited for you guys. You are both pro"s at what you do. I will always chear on my Oregon people. I'm Oregon Native.

[@nicklowe4291]

Keep living the dream bud.

[@toddfletcher64]

Not every day we get a story like this . Great job . Big bright future ahead I’m sure!

[@johnbankert9343]

Well Tanner, I hope you and your family and Shark Racing will be together for a long time. Bobby Allen if you read this do NOT let Tanner slip threw your fingers. Tanner and his family are a great assets to the spring car series. Hoping the best for you Tanner. Dueces

[@jameswaite6496]

Tanner, you have done a very good job wheeling that 1T Shark car!!! I'm also impressed with Carly. She has been on it working on the car!

[@ronsimpson7192]

Wish you the best Tanner May God bless and fill your dreams❤😮

[@vincentgerdi28]

Just remember that you are always auditioning owners and teams are always watching

[@glennfoster7288]

You’re doing great. You’ve shown your talented and a smart racer. You have a great future in front of you.

[@unclebones2488]

Go get em Tanner , its been great watching you& Carly doing the Outlaws gig

[@MikeLaFleur-ih8ir]

Have enjoyed seeing your progression as a driver while keeping it honest and relatable. With your skill commitment and support network there is no limit. Making follow sprint cars like I did years ago.

[@kevinblakemore6445]

I’ve been following you since karts! You definitely have been doing awesome! World of Outlaws are my favorite cars. You are a total champ in the making.

[@IowaBuckSlayer]

You got your shot and made a huge splash in the WOO. Can’t wait to see what happens for you in the off season. You better be watching your backside though. Carly will be coming to pass you.

[@jimmyj244820]

Good luck kid I for one love watching you and your family on your destiny ❤

[@rockinracer]

Tanner you did it, man. Awesome job, opportunity, luck and skill. Couldn't ask for anything better other than more of the same, really hero stuff. Mr Humble, that was great stuff, YOU did that, dream stuff. Nothing but the best I have ever seen in my fandom lifetime. Very heart warming , and you succeed. Bobby has to be happy. Hope he paid you some kind of bonus. Not destroying any of his cars, small incidents are normal, as you know. Very Smart young man, you make you family and friends very happy and proud to be associated with you and your skills. Look to win, next year. Mr Humble, needs to shed that cloak and break out. Gearing, motor, not sure, need to be able to be daring out there. High risk and glory, top level achievement is hard but achievable with money and talent. Wonderful year. Very proud to be YOUR FAN and friend. Keep Rocking and Racing 💜

[@richardvinson9231]

Nice video answered all my curious questions. I think you did well considering the company you keep on that tour. Good luck next season

[@Carbogarbo42]

Ya confirms he will be in a national series but doesn’t say who or what yet, we will know next week when it gets leaked somewhere

[@richardvinson9231]

Good for him. Thanks

[@Reubenwray]

You'll pick up a good ride next year. I'm surprised you haven't received any big sponsorship deals your a great guy.

[@dougdimeler5520]

From central PA and started following you before you got the 1a ride. Hopefully you'll be back in it next year. Go luck this week!!

[@larrysmith8635]

Rock on .👍you have so many Wins ahead of you. Trust me 😎✌️

[@nascarwildcatfan7577]

2024, if you are racing on the World of Outlaws tour, you should come to The Class Track, Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana, my home track, they run at Tri-State Speedway in April, pretty awesome track, track is a high banked quarter mile that provides some of the best sprint car racing in the Midwest.

[@maryannsmith6927]

Great video. It was good to hear it all in your own words. I think it was great the Carly was with you all the time as when you recall events she is there to discuss them with you. I can see a great future ahead of you and look fwd to the rest of your racing. One day you might come to Australia, untill then I will have to rely on you speaking through Sprint Car Hub with Toby. Best wishes from Downunder…..Maryann

[@jamessobotka7784]

You are one of the best young drivers out there and great young man. You deserve the best. Keep at it and of all things have fun.😊

[@robanddonna25]

That was a really cool story about you talking with Bobby. He was my favorite driver in the 80s when I was a kid. You have become one of my favorites now, since I found you about a year ago. I look forward to seeing you drive no matter what or who you drive for. Thanks for being so real.

[@lieutenantcliff]

I'm really happy for you Tanner. I can't wait to see where your racing career takes you. Whatever you do, I will be watching. ✌️

[@dongamer1237]

Very happy for you Tanner and yes it is a great opportunity to race for Bobby and you did a great job for racing at tracks these guys have been to many times. Keep your head up and good luck from Minnesota 😎👍💞

[@Rick-qq3vi]

What about the chili bowl?

[@sparkyofsocal]

That was a good video. I think you learned a lot, how could you not. Carly learned a lot. You both went to school at the same time and hopefully be able to communicate in a different way than the past dealing with the Holmes cars. Almost like bringing new blood to the team.

[@whurlpewl]

Living the goddamn dream Tanner. Been so sick to see. Go get a win!

[@dougscott8161]

Hi, Tanner, Congratulation on getting the ride for the half season with the Shark Racing #1t. It gave you some valuable seat time and a competitive ride with the World of Outlaws. I'm sure Bobby Allen has had his eye on you for some time before offering you the seat. I'm also glad that they gave Carly the opportunity to work with a bigger budget operation, as I'm also sure they 've been keeping the two of you in their sights for a while before coming out with their offer. I pray that things continue to work out for you both for 2024 and that you both can move forward into the big time. God Bless both of you and Stay safe.🤩💯🔥🏁

[@RegularJoes]

Tanner, next for you is to plan your move to the midwest. Follow in the footsteps of Larson, Sweet, etc. All the west coast guys have to move east to have the chance to race 3, 4 nights a week. You have the talent to progress and be great....unfortunately that doesn't include staying in southern Oregon

[@trekforwardhiking]

You are an inspiration and hell of a Sprint Car Driver!! I hope and wish you to only be an Outlaw moving forward. You have proved yourself and earned it. Your hard work, dedication, and knowledge is second to none. I loved watching Tanner Holmes with the World of Outlaws and hope to see you there again!!!

[@blmarti]

keep up the good work buddy can't wait for the finals I bet you will be in the 1t next year good luck buddy

[@fastrich75]

You owe Carly BIG

[@jasonsrader3689]

That is an awesome story! Thank you for sharing it. I can see the movie being made already.

[@jasonlavere5071]

Pretty cool story! Best of luck at Charlotte this weekend! I miss living there. Hopefully they got you a good motor to finish the season on.

[@davidboggs7361]

To me what I have seen of you ether in the 18 or 1t you have gone as a 410 spent car driver and I well keep watching you

[@johnjohnson6094]

Take your car with you so when the 1T won’t run you have a backup.

[@whatalifewhataprice5261]

It’s been a great race season for Tanner Holmes fans. I want to wish you the best of luck in the next few races. Elbows up, hammer down.

[@waynesimmons7052]

It’s been exciting watching you. I hope you’re on the WOO next season. I missed you in Pa.

[@CesarMartinez-qk6bt]

Love hearing the updates mate - from a fan in Australia

[@keliremus2956]

Thx for update 1T/18T, you are a fine young man, with an awesome family, and I pray you continue racing 👍👍👍😎

[@anthonyirwin2636]

Awesome to finally hear your "story"!

[@OldguyChris]

He's not telling u something..lol...be blessed brother...ready for next season

[@parkerbaumeyer6150]

Make the trip to Tri State Speedway in Haubstadt, IN

[@chrisodie2467]

Make the show or be the show in Charlotte homie!!! Youve got this!

[@JT2239M]

The ending of this video is basically saying i have a High Limit or WoO ride for 2024. But we are just waiting for after World Finials to announce what team I will be driving for.

[@Carbogarbo42]

Bingo silly season in the sprint car world , musical sprint cars lol

[@stirlinbaker6929]

Tanner I think that Bobby is going to put you in the 1t next year

[@rowboatme]

Great work mate. Yourself and carly are great kids so impressed with you two and you have the best parents, keep chasing the dream

[@TrailerToadGarage-zi5xi]

Tanner, no doubt you are a one in a million, gotta admit that your sister is one tough "hombre" as well. Hope you two can progress forward with some freedom from worrying about where the money is coming from. Real Legends seem to find that "one guy" who jumps on board. Bobby Allen was the BEST, work the heck out of them at the PRI, get a sponsor a lot of product support so they feel "supported". I will be watching, and hoping you bring in your 21st birthday with a major sponsor announcement, YOU are the FUTURE of this CRAZY sport!

[@atlbluz1769]

I have followed you thru your sprint career hope to see you in Charlotte this weekend. good luck

[@islandcharlie7132]

Great story.

[@kurtstoutner2935]

Tanner I feel you will be in the 1t next year just saying also I'd love to run the 18t for you I know a long shot but I still want to get my own sprint car

[@fresnokidsr]

This was a nice little update thank you Tanner. I wonder how much of what you saw on the Shark racing car you guys will try to duplicate with the 18t. That's pretty cool that your girlfriend got to go with you guys in your Midwest tour. As far as the future as in 2024 whatever you end up doing I bet it's going to be really exciting to watch no matter which car you end up driving. If you don't mind please pass on a Hi! to the rest of your family and crew from another one of your fans whom is still hoping to catch at least one if not both of you Holmes kids racing in 2024 probably in the northwest more specifically in Oregon depending on how my work schedule and life schedule works out. May y'all have a good one. Have fun take care

[@benjaminrizzo6573]

Wow what a great story

[@teddyeverly4549]

Wow tanner what a great video you just put out bout how you hooked up with bobby allen you are such a fine young man and your knowledge and experience things will work out great for you keep your head up high you have done a great job and i wish nothing but the best for you

[@catherinesullivan641]

Thanks for the ride along so far and I know wheels will roll on👍🏁

[@graciousmojo6288]

Please not High Limit… you need to be with the Tezo’s full time. They put on the absolute best racing and hands down Floracing broadcast outshines Dirt Vision tenfold! I had always been an avid WOO follower and supporter until I got off west coast and discovered the Tezos. I feel robbed of years of phenomenal dirt races, and Tezos remind me so much of the Allard/TK/BK/Forsberg of the early and mid 2000’s. Having the west coast boys out here has truly brought everything I loved there …here. West Coasters make the Posse do a double take. EST of both worlds… you make us proud!

[@deansullivan6353]

The High Limit will be the Tezo’s All Stars

[@VinceN34]

That’s a cool story. Been loving the videos and it was great seeing you in North Dakota.

[@miketaylor7064]

Good luck in Charlotte, a season to remember for sure!!

[@Al_Nunnery]

BOBBY ALLEN , my dad AL Tucker Nunnery knew & raced with Bobby Allen for Yrs. .Dad was with Bobby Allen at a race in Jacksonville Florida when Bobby sold his very first Build to Sell Sprint Car ...

[@Brian-vd4mg]

Great young man. I hope he gets the opportunity he is looking for.

[@BenchwarmerGOAT]

Proud of you young man

[@dawgsview9276]

Where all on your side. Keep keeping us informed.

[@greganderson2278]

Wow what a season so far. Great expectations, man your team, family, the dream continues. I was thinking about an opportunity to race nascar and how you would do. I think that is what you would like to do in the future right? I believe many opportunities are coming your way, and all of your fans are rooting for your success!! God bless you and your family!!

[@caderatliff3712]

Blessings abound bud. Awesome stuff!

[@mitchkayla9195]

I hope to see u at the high banks of cedar lake speedway next year

[@frankmcgruder7014]

Awesome!

[@JohnUlery-el8ej]

Great job. Good info good presentation.

[@jeffomspaugh6691]

You've done a great job. According to the Dirttracker KZbin channel your average finish is better than Jacob and a bunch of the Outlaws regulars.

[@T1C45]

You did Good at Sharon. Really Good, considering it was a ice skating rink.

[@Honkytonkrob]

Shark running three cars at Charlotte?

[@ryanbrightman3292]

Would be cool if Bobby keeps you with shark racing next year

[@Carbogarbo42]

My guess is Corey eliason old 11 ride

[@avalanchefishing5725]

I’ve seen a lot of trash talk about you from the supposed racing circle on the internet, but just remember most that talk like that are either jealous or they just don’t like a winner, look past those comments and keep moving forward. Hopefully you have a new home in Pa. in the 1T.

[@seanthoman2676]

Good luck in the future

[@brenthair1228]

wish you all the best

[@juliefryckman2668]

It's not a long road from you to Rico and Kyle, you know them and they you. I am sure you have reached out to them by now and asked for advice. You had as many people in your pit after the race as anyone, no matter where you were. That means a lot to sponsors and it should be very important to High limit to see you as a fan draw on their circuit. I suggest you and others on your behalf play those cards often and well. Personally going with your family, the strength that will give you and your effort, means you will be a stronger organization sooner and stronger. A third car/second car on some team is just that. Maybe set up to run the western portion of both series, that it it self is a lot of logistics and races for your first year. Use the pacific coast open shows as your team training grounds and additional sponsor opportunities. The camera/mic loves you and that is attractive to sponsors, something you have that the others do not. You are a much better driver now as a result of running with,at pace, with the best competition. It already shows in your kart races and watch how much better your car/throttle control is when you get back on the local tracks in 24. Go for it, the only way you could lose is to not go for it.

[@ejw158]

are you trying to get a ride for chili bowl this year?

[@burlap5556]

👍🏻

Will you be running the 1T next year

[@michaelroden7823]

Living the dream.

[@robertcharles1026]

Bobby must have seen something in you , to give you the ride, you have done well , remember you are racing the best drivers and it will just take time. Keep that right foot buried and you will be ok.

[@c.jizz420]

tanner i would love to know why bobby hop out of the seat and had somone fill it

[@dankdank9837]

Curios how does that work with the sponsors on the 18t?
