Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself, your family, and any obstacles that you may have to deal with that makes you, you.
A: My name is Trey Eggleston and I’m from Riverside California. I am the youngest of 2 in my family. I have an older brother (Brody) and we’re 14 months apart. I started racing Go-Karts when I was 5 and have been racing Off-Road since I was 7. My driving coach Troy Adams was the one who introduced me to the sport. Ever since then I’ve loved Off-Road Racing. The past year with Covid has had its obstacles. Not being able to go to school or have my normal schedule. But my family and I have tried to keep it as normal as possible. Just trying to find some positives from it, with change comes growth. Hoping things will get back to normal in the coming year. At least with all this racing there has been a constant for my brother and I. We have been fortunate enough to have that and family for support.
Q: What is it about Off-Road that brings you the most joy?
A: What brings me the most joy in the sport is the people in the sport. They will sacrifice a lot just to get you racing. And when we do well (as a team) it makes all the hard work worth it. It’s very rewarding for all of us.
Q: What are your favorite tracks?
A: One of my favorite tracks has to be Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland Missouri. My goal for 2021 is to get the GAS (Great American ShortCourse) Championship and get my feet wet in some desert racing. 2021 is going to be a transition year for us.
Q: What are you going to change tomorrow to make yourself better than today?
A: I’m always trying to keep my skills sharp and focus on my training; and make sure I have the right diet to perform the best I can.
Q: How does your school work help you in sports?
A: If I don’t have my school work done then I can’t race. So to me it’s extremely important to do my school work.
Q: Where do you see yourself in five years?
A: I see myself racing in a trophy truck or just being part of the sport like owning a business in the racing world. Eggleston Shout Outs: Thanks to my family for all the support they give me; to my friends and everyone that has been there ‘for me & my career’ along the way. I also can’t thank my team and sponsors enough: Above All Construction, Mod Kids USA, CBR Radiators, Sparco USA, CSD Racing Products, Rugged Radios, Troy Adams Coaching, Walker Evans Racing, and Altura Credit Union.
