James Randolph Poole, III (Trey Poole) was born Feb. 9, 1989 and was named after his father and grandfather, both of whom are/were avid racing enthusiasts. Trey's grandfather raced at the likes of Beaumont Speedway in Beaumont, Texas with the No. 18 car, and Duncan Speedway in Wichita Falls, Texas back in the 1952. His grandfather's nickname was Jack "Hotrod" Poole. Carrying on this love for racing, Trey is currently working with his uncle, NASCAR Champion Bill Elliott, who is married to Trey's aunt.

Bill Elliott teamed up with his nephew Trey and his son Chase last season at the Colorado Sprint Championship. Trey finished in an impressive second place in his division. This year, Bill plans to run the duo again. Trey will run in the Atlanta Motor Speedway's "Thursday Thunder" for the Legends semi-pro series along with a limited schedule of races at the Lowes Motor speedway, Lanier Speedway and Cordele Raceway for the INEX series.

Trey is expected to graduate from Harris County High School in Pine Mountain, Ga. in 2007 Trey will be attending Kennesaw College and State University in will enroll in their Engineering Program this fall.

Trey Poole on how he got involved in racing:

"I started playing baseball at age four and played until my junior year of high school. I injured my knee during my junior year of baseball, and decided I wanted to try something new, being racing of course. I had always been interested in racing and loved watching it, which I'm sure most of that came from always watching my Uncle Bill race in the Nextel Cup Series. Any time I could get to the track to watch him race and just be around everything there, I would jump on it as fast as I could. I enjoy being at the track just because you get a better feeling of the sport. The atmosphere at any race is just amazing.

I began racing high performance karts in Colorado on the Colorado Sprint Championship tour last year. In my rookie season I finished second in my class with one win and three second place finishes in a nine race schedule. I learned a lot from last year and met a ton of great people. The camaraderie in karting last year was great. This year it's on to bigger and better things where I am racing in the Legends series in the semi-pro class, driving a 5/8 scale 1934 Ford Coupe."
