Springville, Utah born and raised! Triston is going into his second year of driving, after a successful first year at Halloween Havoc. His first car was a 72 Impala with a 402 big block. His dream is to run imperials, because of the cool name and the body style of the car. He loves trucks, mechanics, being outdoors, and was raised in a garage wrenching since childhood. Anything with a motor is something he can bond over! Triston went to college to become a diesel mechanic and has been working on dirt bikes, ATVs, and trucks. He is slowly building his career and wanting to start his own shop. His biggest inspiration is his grandpa, who was also a derby driver. His grandpa drove derby's in the 60's and 70's at Sentenial Raceway and that's where he got his race number #00, for his grandpa "Shakey Jake."
