Walker, a Sprint Car standout, has already experienced a successful transition into NASCAR. He competed in three Craftsman Truck Series events in 2003 and 19 NASCAR Busch Series races during the ‘04 and ‘05 seasons. The Los Angeles native finished 12th in his third Busch Series outing accumulated seven top-20 finishes in that series. Walker will join an organization that has won seven races and posted 41 top-five finishes and 66 top-10 finishes in only three years in the Craftsman Truck Series.

“I can’t wait to get started,” Walker said. “I’ve waited for an opportunity like this for a long time, and I plan to make the most of it. I know that chances like this don’t come along every day, and I feel really lucky to be involved with BDR and have backing from 360 OTC. Bill Davis’ entire organization is top-notch, and the Bill Davis Racing NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series program is, in my opinion, the best one out there. With trucks from BDR, and teammates like Johnny Benson and Mike Skinner and 360 OTC behind me, I can’t imagine how I would ever have a better shot at success in NASCAR.”

“We are really excited about Tyler joining our team,” commented Team Owner and BDR President Bill Davis. “He has really shown me that he has talent, and I think the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is a perfect place for him to showcase his abilities. With the help of Toyota, we have really built a dominant program here, and I think Tyler will be the perfect addition to our team.”

It was also announced today that Johnny Benson will continue to drive for Bill Davis Racing in 2007 and will carry the 360 OTC colors in 10 races. Benson has garnered four wins, 12 top-five finishes, and 16 top-10 finishes thus far in 2006, as he continues to battle for the Craftsman Truck Series Championship. Benson and Walker, along with Jeremy Mayfield, who will drive a BDR entry in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series in 2007, will make up Team Green for Bill Davis Racing.
