2026 Washington State TDC Results

XPO Veteran driver Chris Poynor made it back-to-back Grand Championships when the Washington State TDC took place in Pasco on April 11th. Chris, who won the Twins Division last year, moved to 3-Axle in 2026 and earned the gold. His Grand Championship is the fourth of his career.

Going back-to-back with the Grand Championship continued a remarkable run for his family, as Chris’ cousin and training partner, Robert Dean, also from XPO, won the Washington State Grand Champion’s title in 2023. Robert is returning to Nationals for the first time since 2023 by winning the title in flatbed.
