Phoenix......February 7, 1999........Brian Tyler of Parma, Mich. captured Sunday's 50-mile USAC Coors Light Silver Bullet race at the Phoenix International Raceway, averaging 114.435 mph. in his Hoffman Auto Racing Special. He led 29 of the 50 laps to beat Ryan Newman of South Bend, Ind. and defending series champion Jason Leffler of Long Beach, Calif. "It was wild," commented Tylre after the race. When you're running with drivers you trust it's fun to race wheel-to-wheel. At first the motor was missing. That actually helped in the corners because I couldn't bust the tires loose. But it also made me slow on the straights. This is a good start for us. Nothing is definite for the Phoenix IRL race yet but there are a few maybes." Tyler started third and took the lead on the first lap from pole starter Dave Steele. Newman caught him on lap 14 and the two battled back and forth the rest of the race. Tyler finally took the lead for good on the 43rd lap and held on to claim the $17,817 first prize. Rebel Jackson, Jr. of Buckley, Wash. earned the Turbines, Inc. "Rookie of the Race" award for his 15th place finish.
