![]() For the third season in a row, Radical Rick Martin captured the Chaz’s Auto Body Sport Truck championship in the Sunoco Drive For The Cup at Seekonk Speedway in 2024. Martin had a year filled with consistency and wins to get himself back into the playoffs, then rocketed to the front of the field in the championship race and drove off to title glory once again. Martin’s title was his eighth as a driver at Seekonk Speedway and ninth overall, with one of them coming as a car owner. The title ties Martin with Dave Darling for the most drivers championships in the history of Seekonk Speedway, with eight. While Martin won the crown, he was joined in the Final Four by Mike Duarte, Jake Vanada and Tim Bolger Jr. Each of these drivers had successful seasons. Bolger won the most of all of them with three feature wins, also capturing the Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Series title in the Sport Trucks. As a driver who moved up from Fast Friday in the last few years, 2024 was a major success for Bolger. Duarte, a former division champion, made his way into the Final Four mostly based on consistency. With one win on the season, Duarte came close to becoming a two-time track champion. And Vanada, who had one win this season, drove the Everett’s Auto Parts Truck into contention for the crown with a strong first two weeks of the playoffs and a consistent season. Among playoff contenders, Martin had the most wins with four, while Bolger had three and Vanada, Duarte and other playoff contender Amy Arsenault each had one. The other playoff driver in the Sport Trucks was Mike Cavallaro, who was on fire in the second half of the season, and missed the Final Four on a tiebreaker.
