About Tyler

Beginning karting at age of six and often seen competing at the front of the field in North America, the ultra-fast and aggressive Georgia resident took on drivers from around the world in Europe late in 2018. While continuing to compete at several high-profile events in North America, Tyler Maxson joined the CRG Racing program as a CRG Factory Driver. Crisscrossing his way around the globe, the multi-time champion took on karting’s best as he built the foundation for his climb up the motorsports ladder.

As the youngest driver in the series, Maxson competed with the potent Copeland Motorsports squad for his rookie campaign. Looking to continue the success in 2020, the Georgia resident levelled up in classes and competed in the premier TC America division of TCR. Piloting a Hyundai Veloster N, Maxson took the season to learn the car and program as he built for the future. Making the move to the IMSA program in 2021, Maxson partnered with Copeland Motorsports and Tyler Gonzalez in the Michelin Pilot Challenge as the youngest driver combination in IMSA history. Earning a handful of pole positions, fast race laps, and podium results, Maxson turned heads which have opened doors for the 2022 season.

Moving through his racing career, in 2022 Maxson took part in the 24 Hours of Dubai with Samantha Tan Racing and select events in MLT Motorsports in the IMSA Prototype Challenge. He also had a full season with Bryan Herta Autosport in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, finishing eighth in the championship. In 2023, Maxson competed in select events with Copeland Motorsports in GT4 America as well as the Michelin Pilot Challenge in multiple events. Early in 2024, Tyler competed alongside Jack Hawksworth in a BMW for Hattori Motorsports at the famed 24 Hours of Daytona.

Inking a deal with Robert Noaker Racing in the Ford Mustang Challenge for the rest of the 2024 season, Maxson showed speed and had success winning multiple races during the season. Taking the fight for the title to the final round of the season, Maxson ultimately finished second in the Dark Horse championship.

In 2025, Maxson will join Topp Racing and Apex Capital in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America series.
