Bryant Trim Racing

Bio:

As you all should know, I’m Bryant Trim, born January 3, 1985.  I am currently living in Plattsburgh, New York where I own my own home.  My whole life, I grew up helping other people when they needed it the most.  Being kind has always been second nature to me-caring, friendly and just all around easy going. As a child I loved nothing more than riding four-wheelers and dirt bikes with my friends as well as hunting and fishing. In school I spent more time just having fun and not letting anything bother me.  My days off and summer vacations were spent working hard for my father who owns his own business moving and repairing manufactured homes. My junior and senior year of high school I attended a trade school, Champlain Valley Technical School where I learned how to weld, graduating my senior year as a certified welder.

My racing career all began watching my grandfather and father race as a young child.  I am a third generation race car driver in my family and to me racing is everything. At age 5, I remember my grandfather retiring from racing but every weekend there we were at the track to watch my father, the cars running side by side, the smell of rubber, and the sound of their engines going down the back stretch.  Growing up racing was all I knew and by age 10, I could tell you just about anything you wanted to know. After helping my father and spending time watching NASCAR I knew that racing was in my blood.  It’s what I wanted and I wasn’t going to let anything stop me. At age 15 there was a go-cart track that was built about 15 minutes from where I lived.  I had a few friends that started racing there and I would go to watch them, waiting for my chance to get behind the wheel.  A few races went by and I would sit patiently watching everyone race.  And since I wasn’t racing, going there watching was how I learned the way they worked. My dad had a friend whose son raced at the track and they allowed me to go out there and try it. My first time racing a go-cart, little did I know that I would finish second. Two weeks later I began racing go-carts. So at age 16, something I had only dreamed of finally became my reality, my racing career.

In 2002 I raced at two tracks, Lake City Speedway and Redline Race Park.  My season went very well winning 17 races, two Track Championships and Rookie of the Year. The following year I got a call from a cart dealer, Andy Kane who asked me if I would race for him in a go-cart. To me that was a whole new meaning of cart racing, being the defending champion I had more confidence in myself as well as racing for a cart dealer.  So in 2003 I raced at Redline Race Park which is the biggest track of the two to defend my title but now, I was also doing it for Andy Kane. I won my third championship and was awarded Most Improved Driver of the Year.  At the end of the racing season my parents and I talked about me racing stock cars. For the last six races at Adirondack International Speedway I raced in the Pro Late Model division and finished four times in the top ten and two in the top five.  In 2003 I gave up go-carts and moved on to Pro Late models the following season. In 2004 I made a big impact to the pro Late Model division proving that it’s not all about who you are, it’s about how well you race.  Stepping into a race car meant everything to me and it also meant that I was one step closer to fulfilling my dream of one day becoming a driver to compete in NASCAR. In 2005 I raced my first full season of Pro Late Models and like everyone else I had my ups and downs. I had some bad wrecks and thought I wouldn’t be able to race the following week but with all my support I knew I could do it and I wasn’t going to let something small get in my way.  My crew would fix the car and I would be right back out there the following week.  To me this was a dream come true.  Being the youngest person out there leading races, running side-by-side with people that have years of experience, I knew I was a natural.  From being driver of the week, to reading about me in news letters and weekly paper this is who I am. There were twenty races, fifteen of which I finished in the top ten and four of them I finished in top five. Throughout the season I lead in twelve races and was the talk of the year.  After fifteen top tens and four top fives, at the end of the race season I ended up with a seventh place finish in point standings. In 2006 it wasn’t one of my best years, talking about having bad luck that was the year.  Anywhere from breaking a drive shaft to totaling the car with a head on collision into the wall.  But I had my pros like leading ten out of fifteen races. I lead the race until car problems would take me out of race. Over all in 2006 I ended up finishing fourth in points.

We are sincerely very proud of our fans and nice comments we have received. This one holds a very special place on our heart.

"Mr. Trim
I recently heard of the wonderful thing you did for one little boy who attending the race this past Saturday and I think everyone should here what a great thing you did. Sunday morning in church a little boy named Ryan along with his mother and very proud grandpa held up a plaque won by Mr. Trim the day before at the races. His grandpa explained how they had went down to get pictures of little Ryan with Mr. Trim and he gave the little boy much more than a picture. With tears in his eyes Ryans grandpa explained how Mr. Trim not only was so gracious as to take photos with little Ryan but went way beyond the expected and gave him the plaque that he had just received for winning the race. Ryan is a great racing fan and what a special treat this was for this little boy. We take so many things for granted that Ryan will probably never be able to do since he has CP and is in a wheel chair. I can not convey the excitement that Ryan showed as he showed his plaque in church. Thank you for making a very special memory for a very special little boy. You are truly a winner not only on the track but off as well."
