THE TAEGAN KNOWLAND RACING TEAM

Tanner Knowland - Owner

When Tanner realized his young son, Taegan, wasn’t giving up on a dream to race, he put everything he had into learning the sport, making connections, purchasing the essentials, and launching a race team.

Bert Lanum Head Shot - Handler CrewChief

Bert "Pop" Lanum

An avid NASCAR fan, you might say it was Pop who sparked Taegan’s interest in racing when he was just a toddler. Pop is a life-long tinkerer who has helped build (and re-build) TKR’s racing machines. Always up for the challenge, he has been on board with TKR as handler and top mechanic from the beginning.
