Triad Racing Technologies - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Company

Triad Racing Technologies was a body parts and chassis supplier for NASCAR teams that ran under the Toyota manufacturer. The company was originally formed as Triad Racing Development before it was merged in late 2008 with Bill Davis Racing by Michael Held and Marty Gaunt. Originally, TRT was intended to field a full-time Sprint Cup Series and three full-time Camping World Truck Series teams that were originally owned by Davis, but a lack of sponsorship caused the organization to close all of its teams and lay off most of its employees. MBM Motorsports eventually invested into TRT, acquiring the company's equipment for use in the team's Cup and NASCAR Xfinity Series programs.^[1]

TRT had an exclusive partnership deal with Toyota Racing Development (TRD) in providing body parts and tuner services to TRD for its NASCAR Cup Series programs. TRT previously provided engines to TRD before TRT sold its engine division.^[2] It was also the exclusive parts supplier for all Toyota NASCAR body parts. Triad used to have an exclusive relationship with TRD for NASCAR Cup Series engine development.^[3]

This partnership with Toyota and TRD dates back to when Toyota had first entered NASCAR officially in 2005.

Triad had a various number of capabilities when it came to building engines, bodies, and chassis' to produce dependable parts.
