Tanner Foss

Early Life and Background

Born in 1998, Tanner Foss grew up in the Greenbush, MN area and is the second oldest of eight children: seven brothers and one sister. Growing up in a large family in northern Minnesota, Tanner developed a strong sense of teamwork, determination, and perseverance that has benefited his racing career.

A Late Start on the Ice Oval

Unlike many racers who begin their careers as kids, Tanner was a late bloomer in the snowmobile racing world. At the age of 21, one of his friends invited him to test drive an ice oval sled. On December 1, 2020, in Strathcona, Minnesota, Tanner took his first lap on ice and from that moment on, he was hooked.

Early Racing Career

Tanner began his competitive journey with the Davy Racing Team, piloting an F500 sled. During his first season on the Central Minnesota Pond Racing (CMPR) circuit, he consistently finished near the top, earning several podium finishes. After two seasons with Davy Racing, Tanner decided to purchase his own F500 sled. He spent countless hours testing and refining his skills on the ice in Strathcona. His dedication paid off when he captured the F500 Country Cat Series Championship in 2023.

Advancing to the Champ & F3 Class

Following his F500 success, Tanner was approached by Team PDF with an offer to step up to the Champ class for the 2023-2024 season. For the 2024-2025 season, Tanner joined DL Racing, where he made the move to the F3 class. His rookie year in the division was impressive, earning a 5th place finish at the World Championship. Later that season, Tanner filled in as an alternate driver for Weatherill Skeleton Racing and stepped in for Wahl Bros Racing during select events.

Looking Ahead

Tanners’ rookie performances have earned him a full-time position on the Wahl Bros. Racing team going into the 2025-26 season where he will race both a Champ 440 and F3 chassis.
