Triad Racing Enterprises

December has been a time to relax, recharge, and continue to learn the next gen car for most of the Triad Racing team. But that hasn’t stopped some of us from collecting some checkered flags in our leagues and official races.

At Dover, Mark Padgett followed up his ISCA league championship with another official win in A Open.

The following week, Geoffrey Souza won his LTAC league race at Talladega and Don Avery would win the ISCA Thursday night Cup Series race at Charlotte!

The Triad crew had some fast hot rods at Kentucky with multiple strong runs but it would be Greg Bartlett found victory lane in A Open while Alex Van De Sandt would be victorious in a truck race at Indy.

Last week would see more Triad drivers winning races with Tom O’Hara and Geoffrey Souza winning A Open races at Indianapolis and Jonathon Hernandez winning a 5.1K SoF race at Talladega in the trucks.

Congratulations to Triad Racing Enterprises Driver Mark Christopher Padgett for winning the ISCA - Iracing Stock Car Association 2022 Buttkicker Super Cup Championship!

The ISCA Buttkicker Super Cup Season followed the real life Cup Series season, including all bonus points for stage wins and race wins. The series ended with the playoffs which saw both teammates Mark Padgett and Geoffrey Souza making it to the Final Four. While Geoffrey struggled, Mark drove away from the most successful driver throughout the season, Klayton Hoffman, to win the championship.

Mark's season was highlighted by four wins, including the final two races, along with 21 top five finishes over the 30 races he ran.

All this success could not have been possible without all our sponsors!

Since this week has been quiet due to the ROVAL, let's recap how last week went!

At Talladega, Kemronic Little and Cam Stone both picked up big wins! Along with their success in official racing, Geoffrey Souza and Mark Padgett had solid races in their ISCA league race at Talladega, locking themselves into the Round of 8!

This past Monday, with help from crew chief Brandon Pierce, Geoffrey Souza finally picked up his first career win in the Red Light Racing league, this was his 71st start.

We all will be cheering on Cam Stone tonight as he tries to move on to the Round of 8 in his 100% Cup Series league race at the ROVAL!

Let’s recap Kansas, Bristol, and Texas!

The Triad Racing Enterprises team brought some fast hot rods to Kansas. Jonathon Hernandez kicked off the week by claiming the W in the Output Racing League. Kee Little also picked up two A open wins at Kansas.

At Bristol, we had some good runs but mostly succumbed to the late race carnage that is short track racing. The highlight of the week was Mark Padgett’s run in ISCA - Iracing Stock Car Association League (ISCA) where he lead a lot of laps but ultimately finished second after taking a chance on a different pit strategy late in the race.

In the lone star state, Kee Little showed speed early in the week and picked up a A Open win early in the week. On Thursday night, Mark Padgett dominated the ISCA league race leading 150 of 168 laps but ultimately finished second to Triad teammate Geoffrey Souza who put on two tires on the last pit stop. Triad lead almost every lap in the race and ended up with a 1-2 finish!

We will move onto Talladega, which is known for some chaotic races, in hopes to pick up more wins.

Never forget those lives that were lost.

After a hard fought race last night in the FastTrack Sim Racing League at Michigan, Triad Racing Enterprises driver Geoffrey Souza came home in second place by only four thousandths of a second. Triad Racing driver Carl Dodson was also very competitive leading 34 of the 100 laps before a late incident took him out of contention.

While this wrapped up the team's week at Michigan which saw Andrew Skelnik, Carl Dodson and Kemonric Little all pick up wins in the Irish Hills.

Everyone will move onto Richmond, which is know for some chaotic races, in hopes to pick up more checkered flags.

It’s been a while since our last post, so here is what Triad has been up to the last few weeks.

Triad Racing Enterprises was at Texas for the IRacing Stock Car Association (ISCA) all star race where Geoffrey Souza and Mark Padgett left with a 1-2 finish!!! Geoff and Mark put on a dominating performance proving that they would be a force to be dealt with all night after starting in the back and driving through the field.

Geoff would end up making it back-to-back wins in ISCA after claiming the victory at Charlotte the following week.

Last week, a couple of Triad drivers ended up coming home with at least one win on the road course at Sonoma being led by Scott Naslund who won his NIS race and Nick Robinson who won his Buttkicker Cup Series league race.

This week was largely used to prepare for the upcoming races at Nashville Superspeedway as well as learning the changes that came with the update to the Next Gen Cup Series cars. We think we will be very competitive next week at Nashville. We look forward to seeing you on the track!

Thanks again to all of the team sponsors!

We would like to give a big shout-out to Triad Racing Enterprises team members Cameron Stone and Jonathon Hernandez on winning their races in the Road to Pro Qualifying event Thursday night!

Both drivers had to hold off late chargers from strong competitors, coming out on top after Green White Checkered finishes.

Along with these wins, Joseph Joseph, in the second highest rated race came six one-thousandths short from winning his race after the engine stumbled coming off turn 4 to the checkered flag.

After two Road to Pro events, our drivers currently hold the following positions in points:

Joseph Joseph - 12th
Jonathon Hernandez - 86th
Cameron Stone - 121st
Chris James - 135th
Vincent Arthur - 214th
Scott Naslund - 244th
Carl Dodson - 356th

In order to make it to the next round of the qualifying series, a driver must finish in the top 70 in these points.

With six races remaining, there is still a chance for those who are not in the top 70 to make up ground and cross the line, with their worst race being dropped.

Stay tuned for updates following the next set of Road to Pro events!

Triad Racing Enterprises left Kentucky with their chests high as they picked up a total of 26 wins. Team friends at Stint Analyzer were able to put together a program which breaks down the unique race win percentage, which ended up being 50%. This means 50% of the races a TRE driver was in ended up with a TRE car in victory lane!

This week, eight Triad drivers ended up coming home with at least one win, being led by Joseph Joseph who had 11 wins, Kentucky native Chris James with 7 wins and Carl Dodson with 3 wins. Five other drivers had one win each.

The biggest highlight of the week goes to Mark Padgett who led a Triad 1-2 finish with Carl Dodson following him to the line in their ISCA league race. With multiple team members who run in ISCA having trouble in the majority of this season's races, it was great to see Mark and Carl show the true speed of their cars.

Next week will be used to prepare for the iRacing Daytona 500 special event as well as the iRacing Road to Pro Series, both which will start the week of the real life Daytona Speedweeks.

Thanks again to all of the team sponsors!

Last week the Triad Racing Enterprises team was quiet in official races last week only picking up a total of six wins at North Wilkesboro in the NASCAR Next Gen Series.

Andrew Skelnik and Joseph Joseph had excellent weeks with perfect stats, finishing with 5 total wins between themselves and top 5's in all of thier races ran. Chris James also picked up a win at North Wilkesboro. As a team, there was a 55% top 5 ratio and 86% top 10 ratio. Geoffrey Souza returned to the Xfinity Series where he picked up a win at his home track, New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Everyone on Triad Racing Enterprises is looking forward to moving back to a 1.5 mile track, Kentucky Motor Speedway next week, with the new Next Gen 670-hp package.

All these successful runs would not be possible without the backing of our sponsors:

Triad Racing Enterprises was back to their winning ways this past week with the team picking up a total of 13 wins at Gateway!

Joseph Joseph continued to show the way for the team, leading a total of 61% of his laps run and winning 10 races. Mark Padgett, Don Avery and Chris James were able to bring home one victory a piece as well. When taking into account all of the team's starts, a top 10 finish occurred 71% of the time!

While some concentrated on the Next Gen at Gateway, others ran some different series such as Carl Dodson and Scott Naslund who both picked up wins at Daytona while preparing for their run in the iRacing 24 Hours at Daytona. Jonathon Hernandez also picked up a big win in his Legacy truck series league at Pocono.

With major updates coming out today, the team will be hard at work adjusting their setups for the upcoming week.

None of this would be possible without our devoted sponsors:

After 24 hours of hard racing at Daytona International Speedway the Triad Racing Enterprises team ended up coming home in the 2nd position.

Vincent Arthur qualified the car on the outside of the front row but did not waste any time getting to the lead. Arthur handed to wheel off to Carl Dodson who continued to lead the race until an issue on pit road, which dropped the team to third for a short time.

Arthur jumped back in the car for another three hour stint before letting Scott Naslund take over. Once the leader got into it with a slower car, Naslund regained the lead and led until he got out of the car around the half way point of the event.

At that point, Rob Caryl entered the race for the first time and led the way until he pitted at lap 500 and gave Greg Bartlett a chance to drive. Bartett had some issues on cold tires, leading to the team dropping back to second, where they started the race. After one stint, Jeff Barnes entered the car and held steady in the third position until new Triad member Chris James had his turn during the "graveyard" shift.

While behind the wheel, James got the car back up to second, three laps behind the leader before Arthur rejoined the team for the run to the finish. During the last 2 hours, Arthur was able to get the team back into a position to pounce if the leader had any issues, gaining back 2 of the laps lost since he had went to bed.

When the checkered flag flew, the Triad team car came home in the same position it took the green flag, second. Due to the consistency of the whole team, the car stayed in the top 3 for the entire 24 hours, an amazing feat by itself.

The team had one thing to say, "On to the next race and we'll get them next year!"

Triad Racing Enterprises would like to thank all the sponsors who helped make this race possible and those that continue to support them in many different ways.
