About Tristan

I live in Elko/New Market. I began racing quarter midgets in 2010. I knew from the very first time I sat in the quarter midget that this was something I wanted to do and that I loved to go fast! I have had the chance to travel to many different tracks in my quarter midget career - we have traveled to Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, and Ohio. Started driving a legend in 2017 racing at Elko Speedway on Saturday Evenings. 2017 I won Rookie of the year at Elko Speedway. 2018 I received the most improved driver at Elko Speedway, 2019 I traveled to Dell's Raceway Park and won the Legend Championship and won the Fast Dash Championship. In 2020-2021 I started driving for Aaron Marthaler - Team 100, I won the Midwest Truck Series Championship in 2021 along with the Rookie of the year. for 2022 I am driving with the Arca Midwest Tour Series and will mainly concentrating on this series this year along with the Alive for 5 at Dells Raceway Park.

I have several fast time trophies and track records that I have received in quarter midget racing. I have 8 different championships in 6 different classes for the quarter midgets in the local club level.

In the 2016 I was chosen by Michael Ostdiek to be one of the winners for the Michael Ostdiek Driver Development Program.
