Chris Trickle

Born May 30th, 1972, Chris demonstrated an aptitude for racing competition at an early age. Chris began competing in motocross races at the age of 8 on a 60cc motorcycle and continued competing on 125cc motorcycles until age 17.

During those years he participated in all major races open to amateurs. In 1987, Chris was 2nd in the 125cc class at the World Mini Championships. He was track champion at Las Vegas Motocross Park in 1988. At the age of 15, he was World Mini Champion in the 250cc division. The following year he moved to the Pro Division and competed in Supercross events in such cities as Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Anaheim, Oklahoma City, Houston and Las Vegas.

In 1990, Chris moved from motorcycles to stock cars. His father, Chuck Trickle, who had previously raced off-road vehicles, had been racing in the Hobby Stock Division at Las Vegas Speedway Park. Chuck's brother, Dick Trickle, has been racing the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and that is what Chris' ultimate dream would be.

Since his first year racing stock cars, Chris has progressed to NASCARS SouthWest Tour Division. At his home track in Las Vegas he was Rookie Of The Year in Hobby Stock, Sportsman Light and Sportsman Division. He has raced and won at tracks in other Western States such as California and Arizona.
