Briley climbed his way to the podium by working hard. He overcame issues that took him out of first position and threw him back into the pack. Driver Connor Hart was in the lead when Briley took him on in a head-to-head battle in his Trophy Kart. At the finish, Briley took the win.

The Middle School student's Trophy Kart has a LTR 450 Suzuki quad racer motor. “We use K&N air and oil filters,” said Trenton’s father Rob Briley. “We have dyno records that show we pick up 5 horsepower on a 40 horsepower motor. K&N helps us out on and off the track. We’ve used K&N for as long as I can remember on our street cars and trucks. K&N is a well known product in our family.”

Briley placed 2nd overall in the J1 Modified Elite Trophy Kart Class in the 2008 SXS National Series and placed 9th overall the 2008 CORR Series Modified Elite Class. He was in the video From the Dirt and will have a spot in From the Dirt Part Two.

The Acton, California resident races almost three weekends every month. “We have to stay focused,” said Natasha Briley, Trenton’s mother. “We’re busy. Trenton is also competing in a complete Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series in a 450 modified.”
