2025- 68th Purdue Grand Prix

This year is Andrew Morin and Randall Hubbell's final year at Purdue giving them one last shot at the Purdue Grand Prix. With our first season being a CKR supported team with Randall Hubbel running a 2025 CKR chassis in the #7. Andrew Morin stayed with TB Kart, driving a 2025 Villeneuve TB Kart in the #41.

Qualifying this year was rained out which put Randall starting in 10th and Andrew in 21st. Within the first 20 laps Randall had made it up to 4th place however Randall had experience a carburator failure forcing him to end up driving while also manually tuning his carburator. With some very unfortunate timing around placement of a penalized kart ahead and the race leader at the end of the race Randall ended in 6th. Andrew Morin had a much more uneventfully race ending up in 9th place.

We would like to thank our sponsors for the 2025 season, CKR, Java House, Burris Optics, and Purdue Triangle Alumni.

2024 Fall Series - Whiteland Race

We are back! This weekend we particpated in the fall series at Whiteland. Andrew Morin, driving kart 41, qualified 4th, with Ryan O'Donnell right on his tail qualifing 5th in kart 7. Andrew had mechanical engine failure early in the sprint, causing him to retire, but Ryan raced his way up to his first podium with the team by finishing 3rd in the sprint!

Going into the final, the drivers were on both ends of the grid, with Ryan starting 3rd and Andrew in 13th. Unfortuantely, a racing incident ended the day for Ryan, however Andrew fougth his way through 10 positions to stand 3rd on the podium!

Overall, it was a good first race back with the team, but none of this would be possible without our sponsors and supporters. We would like to specificaly thank Veridian, Trane Technologies, Burris Optics, TB Kart Midwest, and all Purdue Triangle Alumni for the continued support of our racing endeavors

67th Purdue Grand Prix

In the 67th Purdue Grand Prix, we ran two karts, the 7 and the 41, with Randall Hubbell in the 7 and Andrew Morin in the 41. Randall had managed to qualify 9th. While Andrew had some issues with the kart on qualifying so he had to make it in through the sprint heat. He had managed to make it in very easily by getting 1st place in his sprint race. This put him in 27th place to start. Randall had a great race ending up 7th. While Andrew had an amazing start to his race ending up 11th before having to do his pit stop. There in the pit stop he had a mechanical failure of his second fuel tank ending up taking him out of the race, which left him in 20th place.

Triangle Racing Mourns the Passing of John Storm

On May 13, 3 weeks following the 2018 Grand Prix, Triangle Racing mourned the loss of a great man, John Storm pur73. John was Triangle Racing's #1 supporter, who's passion for racing and generosity revitalized the Triangle Racing program in 2016.

John was extremely proud of both team's results after the 2018 GP. Just days before his passing, Jared got the chance to reflect with John about John's goal for the team set 3 years prior. As the story goes:

It was a night at a Triangle Nationals convention in 2016, when Purdue Triangle Alumni Board President Pat McCarthy approached John about the idea of restarting the racing program. "It's time Triangle reclaims themselves as a competitive Grand Prix racing house at Purdue. We ought to set a goal to finish 5th place in 5 years", Pat told John. John responded, "If I'm getting involved, I want a top 3 finish in 3 years!"

John lived to see his wish come true. It was an honor to know John, and he will be dearly missed. John was always the top Triangle Alumni sponsor, and to recognize him, we are hanging a plaque with his photo in the Triangle Formal called "THE STORM AWARD". It will recognize the highest annual Triangle Alumni contributor by engraving their name on the plaque.

Triangle Racing takes 7th @ 60th Purdue Grand Prix (2017)

#7 finished 7th! The team qualified 14th for the race, although an engine problem delayed Jared's entry prior to the green flag. An excellent pit crew effort was able to fire Jared up and send him back out in under a minute's time, however Jared was now in dead last place and about a lap behind the field. With a newfound sense of urgency, Jared had open track to begin a comeback that would allow him to overtake 25 positions and finish the race just 2 spots shy of a top 5 finish!
