Triad Racing Technologies is a body parts and chassis supplier for NASCAR teams that run under the Toyota manufacturer. The company was originally formed as Triad Racing Development before it was merged in late 2008 with Bill Davis Racing by Michael Held and Marty Gaunt. Originally, TRT was intended to field a full-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and three full-time Camping World Truck Series teams that were originally owned by Davis, but a lack of sponsorship caused the organization to close all of its teams and lay off most of its employees. It is still housed out of Davis' old shop. The current president & CEO is Marty Gaunt, who also owns Gaunt Brothers Racing. GBR and Triad currently have a special technical alliance using Triad body parts and chassis' on the #96 Toyota Camry NASCAR.

Toyota Racing Development Alliance

TRT has an exclusive partnership deal with Toyota Racing Development (TRD) in providing body parts and tuner services to TRD for its NASCAR Cup Series Programs. TRT previously provided engines to TRD before TRT sold its engine division.[1] It is also the exclusive parts supplier for all Toyota NASCAR body parts. Triad used to have an exclusive relationship with TRD for NASCAR Cup Series engine development.[2]

This partnership with Toyota and TRD dates back to when Toyota had first entered NASCAR officially in 2005.
