Tyler Eugene Carpenter (born January 3, 1991) is an American professional stock car racing and dirt track racing driver.

He competes part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado for Niece Motorsports and full-time in Dirt Super Late Model’s driving the No. 28 Kryptonite Racecars Chassis for Kryptonite Racecars.

In 2019, Carpenter would win the 2019 Gateway Dirt Nationals.

In 2021, Carpenter would race in the 2021 Gateway Dirt Nationals.

After moving through the preliminary heats, Carpenter would complete a flag-to-flag performance to win the event.

However, some drivers, most notably fellow drivers Ricky Thornton Jr. and Brandon Sheppard would criticize Carpenter for his driving style, saying that Carpenter had little respect for others on track.

In response, Carpenter said "It’s either make the move or be moved. I don’t want to crash them guys. Hell, I like ‘em all. We’re here to race… they’ve had their opportunity to win big races. This is the only shot I got as of right now. I ain’t got the backing they got."

As a result of winning the 2021 Gateway Dirt Nationals, Carpenter got an opportunity to participate in a one-off race for Niece Motorsports at Knoxville Raceway as part of the team's "Win and You're In" program.
