At this year’s South Carolina State TDC, veteran Walmart driver J.B. Quarles cemented his place as a true legend within the NTDC Community. By winning the state title in the Step Van Division, J.B. completed his quest to win South Carolina State Championships in all nine vehicle classifications that make up the NTDC field. J.B.’s run of excellence now includes six straight state titles in a different division each year.

As J.B. shares with us in this extended conversation, Step Van was the remaining jewel in an unprecedented TDC crown that shines with the glow of a top professional driver who is always willing to share his knowledge to help others in the NTDC Community. As you’ll hear, J.B. didn’t even know it was possible to win the South Carolina Grand Champion while competing in the Step Van Class. And while J.B.’s performance over TDC Weekend was top flight and represented the realization of a dream years in the making, hearing his name called as the 2026 Grand Champion for South Carolina became the perfect exclamation mark for reaching an incredible milestone.
