Troy Regier grew up on the family farm and at age 5 began racing the family Volkswagen around their dirt track. During his early years he won numerous titles racing pro motorcross and superbike motorcycles. He was fast, aggressive and liked to be first.

In his first year of auto racing, having never driven a race car, Troy stepped into an Indy car (Fastrak Drivers Search Competition for an Indy light ride) at Firebird Int’l. Raceway in Phoenix, AZ. Out of the 69 drivers tested, Troy finished in the top 20 among top drivers Brian Herta, Greg Moore, Jeff Ward, Case Montgomery, Helio Nervo. Troy was pleased - considering this was a full ground effects Indy car. He knew he had the talent to compete with the best.

In 1991, he set out on the journey towards his Indy car dream. He built a 360 Super Modified race car. In his first season, 1992, he won 5 out of 12 races - setting 4 track records that year.

Troy had his sights set on getting a ride in a Super Modified, following Billy Vukovich III and Davey Hamilton. Success came faster than he thought. After one year in 360's, Rebel Jackson Sr. (out of Washington) gave Troy a ride. In his first Super race, he set a track record in qualifying and finished second in the main. Regier went on to win 3 main events and several top 3 finishes, earning him 2nd in the North West Racing Association, 3rd in the Western Super Modified Racing Association and Rookie of the Year in both associations. In 1994, there was no stopping Troy. He stepped into the new Ed Hyder prototype, which everyone called a rocket. In only the 3rd race of the season, Troy’s car owner, Rebel Jackson Sr., was killed during a crash in the Portland Super Modified race. For the remainder of the season and into 1995, Regier earned a reputation of grabbing rides where he could. He drove for Trigueiro Motorsports, filling in for Davey Hamilton and Paul Durant, with wins at San Diego and Madera. He also drove his own 360, winning races in both classes. He drove a few United States Auto Club midget races for Fred Gerhardt finishing 3rd and 5th his first time out.

After 1995, his long time sponsor, Dave Biswell, bought a Super Modified program including the Hyder Hawk prototype. 1997 was a good year, but not what Troy was looking for - with only 2 wins and several top 4 finishes, earning him 2nd in the Western Super Modified Racing Association. In 1998 Troy had a very exciting year with a new 1 mile world record of 22.586 seconds at over 159 MPH at Pikes Peak Intl. Raceway. He beat Davey Hamilton's 1 mile record. He won 37% of his races in '98 and set number of track records, ultimatley taking the WSMRA Supermodified Championship for 1998!

1999 is expected to be better than ever coming off two consecutive wins in '98 and '99 at the Copper World Classic beating IRL regulars Tony Stewart, Paul Durant, Davey Hamilton and Joe Goseck.
