Tristan Swanson has been on a mission in 2026, capturing five checkered flags, including his most recent at Dells Raceway Park.
The 2021 Midwest Truck Series Champion had one goal when the season began, and that was to chase trips to victory lane. Make no mistake about it, Swanson has made a home in victory lane, capturing victories at tracks such as Dells Raceway Park, Golden Sands Speedway, Marshfield Motor Speedway, Madison International Speedway, and Wisconsin International Raceway.
He has won on tracks of all shapes and sizes, and he currently sits atop the Midwest Truck Series points standings with a 65-point margin over Eugene Gregorich III.
The Midwest Truck Series season is heading into its final stage with four races remaining on the 2026 schedule. The series will visit Jefferson Speedway for a double-header event one week from Friday. Thirty One Motorsports has a strong history of success at Jefferson Speedway, competing in the top-three on a consistent basis, and earning a fast qualifier award one year ago.
While the team finds themselves in the points championship lead, their focus is solely on the next race, and putting together the best finishes possible when they hit the track.
Tristan Swanson was awarded the victory at Dells Raceway Park after independent testing confirmed that the engine in his #23 Thirty One Motorsports Ford is legal per all GM Specifications, and the rules of the Midwest Truck Series. With his fifth win of the 2026 season, Tristan Swanson ties the all-time single-season record for race wins.
