Tristan Chamberlain is gearing up for his second full-time season with the World of Outlaws Late Models in 2025 at just 17 years old. The Richmond, IN native made history in 2024 as the youngest Rookie of the Year contender in the series.

Chamberlain's rookie season proved more challenging than anticipated, finishing 14th in points with five top-10 finishes in 28 Feature starts. His career-best third-place finish at Rocket Raceway Park in September marked a turning point, boosting his confidence for the upcoming season.

"It was definitely way tougher than I thought it would be," Chamberlain reflected. "Being consistent was the hardest thing for me to learn over the whole year, but at the end of the year I felt like we picked up our pace and started getting some better finishes."

For 2025, Chamberlain aims to leverage his first-year experience at various tracks to improve his performance. His goals include securing a top-10 position in points and achieving consistent top-10 finishes throughout the season.

The season kicks off at Volusia Speedway Park with the DIRTcar Sunshine Nationals (Jan. 22-25) and Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals (Feb. 13-15). Despite finding Volusia's "World's Fastest Half Mile" challenging in his rookie year, Chamberlain feels better prepared for the unique demands of the track.

"There's nothing like Volusia. It's fast, and the dirt is different than anywhere else," Chamberlain said. "I'm actually more excited to go back than I was last time because our team is more prepared than we were last year and I'm more prepared. I definitely think I can clock in some good finishes."

Chamberlain's return to the World of Outlaws Late Models demonstrates his commitment to competing at the highest level of dirt track racing, building on the valuable experience gained during his rookie campaign.
