Tristan Swanson

Minnesota born and raised.

Midwest Truck Series champion.

Tristan Swanson has been winning since before most kids learn to ride a bike. He captured five Quarter Midget championships starting at nearly five years old, added an INEX Legends Series title in 2019, and then did something few drivers ever pull off: he won the Midwest Truck Series championship as a rookie.

Seventeen years into his career at just 22, Swanson has been a front-runner in everything he has climbed into. He carries himself as a professional on and off the track, and he represents Thirty One Motorsports and its partners the way a champion should.

Winning at Every Level

Tristan Swanson’s rookie season in the Midwest Truck Series was not a learning year. It was a statement. In 2021 he won four races, took Rookie of the Year honors, and claimed the series championship in the same season. He capped that year by winning the Chilly Willy Legend championship in Tucson, Arizona.

The wins never slowed down. Between 2023 and 2024, Swanson collected Legends victories at Dells Raceway Park, Elko Speedway, and Hawkeye Downs, then stepped into a super late model and won the Tundra race at Dells. In 2025 he added the Alive for 5 Super Late Model win and went seven for nine in Legend starts.

Swanson opened 2026 with eight consecutive Legend race wins and has already taken three Midwest Truck Series victories this season: Quarter Midgets, Legends, super late models, trucks. The results follow him wherever he goes.

That is the driver Thirty One Motorsports put in the seat: proven, versatile, and still getting better.

"Five Quarter Midget titles. A Legends championship. A Midwest Truck Series championship as a rookie. All before age 22."

Looking Ahead

Tristan Swanson enters every race weekend as a threat to win, and 2026 has proven it with three Midwest Truck Series victories already on the board. With a championship in this series behind him and a Legends win streak still fresh, Swanson brings Thirty One Motorsports a driver who knows how to close out a season. Catch him at every stop on the schedule.
