Charlotte Motor Speedway - Recapping 10 Rounds of Summer Shootout
A long overdue recap of Summer Shootout as a whole! It’s hard to encompass what the shootout is if you’ve never been part of it. You compete against 30-40 of the best cars in the country every Monday and Tuesday night for eight consecutive weeks to make up 10 rounds of competition. It’s a true testament to your equipment, skill, and mental toughness as a driver and as a family. When we committed to all 10 rounds the main goal was to get Tryson some valuable seat time and an o

It’s just like riding a bike, so we brought a new teammate out for Round 9! We’re excited to have Conner Jones Racing make a return to U.S. Legend Cars International and INEX and wheel the Gray No. 5 in the Pro Division!

Charlotte Motor Speedway - SSO Round 5
Finally got the No. 5 car dialed in by Round 5, now we focus on getting the driver where he needs to be. Walking into Summer Shootout we knew there would be some growing pains and a learning curve for all of us, after all we put a kid who had only been in the car less than 9 months out there with the best in the country in a car that people deem as 'the hardest thing to drive.' Truthfully, we didn't quite know what to expect. We put our focus on setting attainable goals that

Charlotte Motor Speedway: New Wrap for Round 4
Saw a blue chrome debut in round four! From first practice to the race this week, there was a lot of progress made in the No 5, even if we got caught up in a few racing incidents that prevented him from getting the decent finish he wanted. We're achieving our goals of gaining seat time and knowledge each time we hit the track. It was great to have Conner Jones at the track with us this week to offer some advice and knowledge to make this driver and car just a little bit bette

Charlotte Motor Speedway - Summer Shootout Round 1
Tried something new for Round One..... Racing in the rain! The No. 5 started third just as the rain began to fall at Charlotte Motor Speedway. A gear issue on the initial start sent him back to 11th. After a slight delay due to a heavier band of rain, we got back on track and had quite the time figuring out how to navigate the wet track. But Tryson figured it out enough to get around a few cars and cross the line in 7th. The good news is, the 5 car has some speed and confiden

Hickory Motor Speedway: A bucket list track
Raced with really heavy hearts with the Busch family on our minds that night, but had a lot of fun learning a new track that has so much nostalgia. Tryson started the race in P14 and was able to work his way up to P11 against some really strong competition. A big thank you to RDP, Macc Door Systems, Rollins Pest Control, SAG Wraps and ATA for all their support! Video Credit: Vincent Villarreal Media

Nashville Fairgrounds: Top-10 at the Hometrack
Add another top-10 to his resume! Tryson put a solid night together at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway bringing the No. 5 home in 7th in a strong field of young lions and semi-pros. He clocked some of his best lap times ever around the flat quarter-mile, which we’re really proud to see. This weekend would not have been possible without the extra support we’ve received from Cordell Motorsports, Kevin Rollins, and Robert Forsythe the last few weeks to get our No. 5 car back in p

Nashville Fairgrounds Part 2 of Spring Nationals Recap
A weekend filled with three up and down races at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway to wrap up the 2026 Spring Series. We rolled a new car out of the trailer on Thursday that had some impressive speed. Tryson laid down his best lap times and continued to show improvement each time he hit the track, which is really all we can ask for. He’s putting in the work and it’s fun to see it pay off in podium finishes alongside some really good people. There’s a lot to be said for the oppor

Nashville Fairgrounds - Spring Nationals Recap
Finished where we started! A really solid second place run for the No. 5 car after a wild last lap in tonight’s Charger race at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. It’s pretty fun to see Tryson up front, but it’s even more fun to watch him race with really good friends. Cordell Motorsports has been a huge part of our legends journey, and it was awesome to see Landon bring home his first big win. Hoping for a lot more 1-2 finishes out of these boys. A big thank you to everyone at

Highland Rim Spring Nationals Recap
Three up and down days at Highland Rim Speedway filled with a lot of seat time, a lot of lessons learned, and a lot of progress shown. The No. 5 car may not be leaving with the finishes he wanted, but he had some impressive speed and racecraft that we're proud to take away. We're super thankful for all the support from the Race Driven Performance team, Kevin Rollins and Rollins Pest Control, MACC Door Systems, Lake Norris Chalets, SAG Wraps, and Eagleville Mercantile and Rest

Nashville Fairgrounds: Top-5 in Music City!
Heading into a two week break with a Top-5 finish in Music City! Tryson put together a solid weekend across the board from Friday practice sessions to Saturday night’s race. Our main focus this weekend was to work on race craft, understanding the line and what goes in to making a fast lap at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. Tryson started the race 7th and maneuvered his No. 5 Legend car through the chaos that unfolded ahead of him multiple times. He found himself all the way i

Echo Park Speedway All-Star Race!
Feeling like an All-Star!! One of our favorite nights every year at EchoPark Speedway. The legend car at ATL definitely brought on some new challenges but the driver of the No. 5 picked it up pretty quickly. With no practice he went straight into qualifying ending up fourth on the board. He worked his way up to second in the main feature but had a little mishap with two to go and ended up finishing 5th. The top-5 finish was enough to lock him into the All-Star race, which was

On the final day of Winter Nats, he found his first checkered flag!! On his tenth consecutive day being in the seat, Tryson put it all together and brought the No. 5 across the line first in the B-Main! He started in second and put on some of the best racing we’ve seen all week and battled hard for 20 laps. This was the perfect way to end our 10 days at Auburndale Speedway and showed just how much he grew as a driver while he was there.Even in the chargers division, you’re st

Auburndale Speedway: Winter Nationals - Day Two & Three
Winter Nationals Day 2 & 3 Day 2: P9 P5 - A Main Picked up where we left off Monday with speed in practice. Didn’t quite hit our marks for qualifying but got an inside starting position. Worked our way up, passing cars in the first race of the week that went green flag to checkers with no cautions! Super proud of the way Tryson fought in the race. Day 3: P6 P2 - B Main Had trouble finding speed in practice and got in our head a little on Wednesday which put us in the B Main

Auburndale Speedway - Winter Showdown Night One
Found a little mud on the tires last night! Night 1 at Auburndale Speedway did not disappoint. The #5 picked up some speed and what it takes to tackle this track pretty quickly. Our main goals for this week were to keep learning and soaking up seat time, so far he’s accomplishing both and getting faster each lap. Qualifying sent us to the pole of heat race three, and we were able to control the race out front for several laps before falling by back to third in the last two. N

Tryson Pinion: 2025 Bandolero Bandit State Champion
The final pin in 2025 and a bandolero career- Your Tennessee Bandolero Bandit State Champion.

We walked away with some hardware alongside some really talented teammates from Race Driven Performance . This championship was a goal Tryson set for himself and made sure he achieved, and it got pretty intense at the end. With something like 37 races across four different t

Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval - Winter Heat Round 1
Photo: Eternally Captured Made some history! Round 1 of Winter Heat is complete! None of us were quite prepared for how surreal it would feel to see the blue #5 flying down the big backstretch at Charlotte Motor Speedway . We are so appreciative of the work everyone at U.S. Legend Cars International and INEX and SMI put in to make this event possible and give these kids the experience of a lifetime. Tryson had so much fun over the course of two days learning how to turn left
