Chad Ragland is an American winning race car driver and the son of legendary off-road racer Larry Ragland. Chad first competed in the SCORE off-road series in an unlimited class one buggy with Volkswagen factory driver, Mark Miller. In 2004, Chad joined veteran racer Brian Collins and Collins Motorsports. It was here Chad had his first success in the premier Trophy Truck class, leading the majority of the 2005 SCORE Baja 1000. Mechanical issues kept the victory out of reach and just off the podium with a 4th place finish. In 2007, Chad was asked to join a brand new off-road team, called T Force Motorsports. Chad was integral in the startup of the new team as well as being the lead driver for the team. To date, the team has earned podium finishes at the 2008 SCORE San Felipe 250 and Baja 1000, and has finished every mile they have started.
