Racing career

[edit]

Late models

[edit]

In 2020, Reif made his debut in late models, running two races. He finished 7th and 5th in each race.[1] That same year, Reif would also run some legends car races, winning in his first start at Meridian Speedway.[2] In 2021, he would join the SRL Southwest Tour, driving for his family owned team, Reif Racing. He ended the season with seven top fives, nine top tens, and ranked 5th in the final standings.[3] He returned for a full-time season in 2022, earning six top fives and nine top tens, finishing 3rd in the standings.

ARCA

[edit]
Reif's No. 41 ARCA car at Sonoma in 2023

On October 10, 2022, it was announced that Reif would make his ARCA Menards Series West debut with Lowden Motorsports at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring. He would start 17th and finish 18th. He made his second start of the year in the season finale at Phoenix Raceway. After starting 24th, he would finish in 12th.[4]

On December 12, 2022, it was announced that Reif would be promoted to a full-time schedule with the newly renamed Lowden Jackson Motorsports in the 2023 season.[5]

In the first race of the West Series season, which was the series' combination race with the main ARCA Menards Series at Phoenix Raceway, Reif scored his first career win after passing Landen Lewis for the lead on the final lap.[6]

On February 24, 2023, it was announced that Reif would also be running full-time in the ARCA Menards Series East for the 2023 season, competing for the championships in both series with Lowden Jackson Motorsports.[7] However, after the East Series season-opener at Five Flags Speedway, Reif was not entered in the second race of the season at Dover Motor Speedway, and therefore his full season plans fell through.

Reif's No. 13 car at All American Speedway in 2024

On July 10, 2023, it was announced that Reif would drive the No. 13 car for Central Coast Racing in the West Series race at Shasta Speedway instead of the LJM No. 41 car. Todd Souza, the owner of the team and driver of the No. 13 car, would instead drive a new second car for his team, the No. 3, in that race.[8] On August 11, it was announced that Reif will run the final five races of the season for Central Coast Racing in their 13 car.[9]

On January 3, 2024, it was announced that Reif will run full-time for CCR in the 2024 season, driving the No. 13 as the team switches from Ford to Toyota.[10] Throughout the season, he scored wins at Shasta and Tri-City.[11][12] On September 10, it was announced that Reif would run the ARCA Menards Series/East Series combination race at Bristol Motor Speedway, driving the No. 23 car for Sigma Performance Services. Reif stayed inside the top ten for the entire race and finished 6th.[13]

Personal life

[edit]

Tyler's older brother, Tanner Reif, also competes in the ARCA Menards Series. Tanner currently drives the No. 42 Chevrolet SS for Cook Racing Technologies and the No. 88 Ford Fusion for Naake-Klauer Motorsports.[5]
