Dennis "Big Daddy" Tribout Sr. after watching his son drive for three years, decided to test the waters himself and began driving the # 125 in the Sportsman Division.  His first year he finished 12th in points and was named "Rookie Of The Year" giving him the distinction of being the oldest driver ever to win this award. he continued to drive for the next four years and then in 2005 he and Dennis Jr. stepped down to allow a one car team and help his grandson Brett Korves compete in the Modified Division. Although he is not driving regularly he does not rule out the possibility that he may drive again on a part time basis.

The 2006 season found "Big Daddy" in the role of watching his Son and Grandson race, content to drive only a few times to help pack the track. However he would find it hard to convince anyone that he does not still have that desire to compete on the track.

Brett Korves began driving at age 12. He raced a go-cart at Bedrock Raceway in Belleville Il. He finished 3rd in points overall his rookie year and was Jr. Division Track Champion in his second year. He had twelve feature wins and raced in two national races in Tunica, MS and Louisville KY. At age 14, Brett raced a sportsman a number of times at Highland Speedway. At age 15 he raced his first full season at Belle Clair Speedway in a Pure Stock. He won a feature and several heat races and was the 2004 "Rookie Of The Year". At age 16 he jumped up to the Modified Division. He was the youngest driver at Bell Clair Speedway. He won three heat races, four semi-features and two hard charger awards finishing sixth in points and was again named "Rookie Of The Year", this time in the Modified Division. Brett also raced at Pevely, TriCity, Highland and Brownstown tracks. He was featured in the October 2005 issue of Circle Track Magazine as the winner of the young racer club.

The beginning of the 2006 season found Brett fighting old problems before changing to a new Pierce chassis. Another few weeks to get the setup on this car and gaining experience, gave him confidence to run with the best and he finished in sixth place in the modified division points race at Belle Clair Speedway

Problems continued to find a way to put a damper on the 2007 season but Brett was able to overcome them to finish in the fifth positiion in the points race. Looking forward to the 2008 season and a new Pierce chasis.

The 2008 season was a rough year of bad pill draws and rained out racing nights. However Brett did manage to win his first Feature in the Modified Division at Belle Clair Speedway and again finished Fifth in the points race at Belleville.

Dennis Tribout Jr. or "Little Bingo" as the talker guy liked to call him, began racing a sportsman in 1997 with Paul Rienneck serving as his crew chief. He finished 9th in points his first year winning one heat race and two semi-features. In 1998, 1999 and 2000 he finished 3rd in points in the sportsman class.  In 2001 he moved up to the Modified Division and finished 9th in points with two heat race and two semi-feature wins. In 2002 he finished 6th in points, but in 2003 and 2004 drove only a partial season to spend more time with his family. In 2005 he returned to the sportsman division driving the # 143 car part time for Art Harris of Harris Motor Sports. He returned for the 2006 season and ran a strong season finishing in the second position at Belle Clair Speedway in the Sportsman division. His future plans are not finalized at this time.
