For many drivers, the ultimate victory is earning an SCCA® National Championship title. For RallyCrossers, there’s a step further: the TripleCross.

Earning a TripleCross is far from simple – it involves winning a Regional RallyCross®, a National Challenge, and a National Championship all in the same class in the same year. This is an accomplishment nobody can sneeze at, regardless of how freshly cut the grass around the RallyCross course is. For some, a TripleCross is years in the making. For others, it’s a target they can hit nearly every time.

This year, five members took home TripleCross honors, with two of those accomplishing the feat for the first time, one claiming their second TripleCross, one earning their fourth, and another having their 2025 TripleCross trophy be their fifth.

First Timers

Washington DC Region member Michael Golden and Texas Region’s Todd Briley both earned their very first TripleCross trophies during the 2025 season.

Golden’s class is Stock Rear, with his Regional win coming during an event hosted by his home Region. His Divisional Challenge gold medal was earned not far from home during the Great Lakes RallyCross Divisional Challenge at Jackson County Junior Fairgrounds in Cottage, WV. He then locked in the TripleCross award with a win at the RallyCross National Championship in Hollytree Off Road in October.

Todd Briley’s class of choice was Modified All – his choice for a location? A little bit of everywhere. Briley’s Regional win came in Colorado during a Colorado Region event. His Challenge win? That came at the same event as Golden’s, in West Virginia. Then, of course, he traveled to Alabama for the National Championship event.

For both Golden and Briley, this was their first SCCA National Championship title.

Back for Seconds

Earning his second TripleCross in 2025 was Wichita Region member Timothy Thompson.

Thompson’s first RallyCross National Championship title came in 2022, but it wasn’t until the following year when the chips landed in place for his first TripleCross. In 2025, running the same Stock All class that he won his previous RallyCross National Championship titles in in 2022 and 2023, Thompson added the National Championship title to his Northeast Oklahoma Regional win and Midwest Divisional Challenge at Billy Bob’s Billings RallyX Farm in Billings, OK, to clinch his second TripleCross award.

Four and More

Earning one TripleCross is hard, but earning four is downright madness – just don’t tell Prepared Rear driver Shawn Roberts that, because for him, racking up TripleCross awards is seemingly just something a person does.

Hailing from the same Region as Michael Golden, Roberts added to his 2020, 2021, and 2024 TripleCross trophy shelf with another Prepared Rear TripleCross in 2025. His wins came at a Washington DC Regional and the Southern Sweet Tea Classic Southeast Divisional Challenge, held at the same location as where he earned his 2025 National Championship.

This means Roberts has yet to win a RallyCross National Championship without it also coming with a TripleCross.

Leading the charge this year with the most TripleCross awards is Kansas Region’s Mark Hill. His 2025 RallyCross National Championship win was the sixth of his career, with an impressive five of those also coming with a TripleCross award (2019, 2020, 2021, 2024 and, of course, 2025). Beyond the National Championship win, in 2025, he took Prepared All wins at a Kansas City Regional and the Midwest RallyCross Divisional Challenge.
