Colin Reffner
Third-generation racer. Wisconsin short-track champion.
Colin Reffner comes from a racing family with deep roots in Wisconsin motorsports. After 24 years behind the wheel and a resume built on consistency, speed, and championship hardware, Reffner brings the #31 Thirty One Motorsports Ford into the 2026 Midwest Truck Series season with something to prove on a bigger stage.
Reffner has earned a reputation as one of the most respected competitors on the Wisconsin short-track circuit. A multi-time race winner, Sportsman of the Year, and 2024 Golden Sands Speedway Champion, he carries the kind of pedigree that turns heads in any pit lane he walks into.

A Racing Family
Colin Reffner did not stumble into motorsports. He was born into it. Racing runs three generations deep in the Reffner family, and that legacy shapes everything about how Colin approaches his craft, from the way he prepares to the way he carries himself at the track.
Growing up in Wisconsin Rapids, Colin learned early that racing is not just a sport in the Reffner household. It is a way of life. The discipline, the work ethic, and the respect for the craft were passed down long before he ever sat behind the wheel of a race car.
That foundation shows in how Colin has built his career. He did not take shortcuts. He started at the bottom, earned his Rookie of the Year honors in 2011, and spent the next decade-plus grinding through the Wisconsin short-track ranks. Every championship, every fast qualifier award, and every race win along the way was built on preparation and consistency rather than circumstance.
The family connection to Wisconsin motorsports is not just history. It is present in every race weekend, every setup decision, and every moment Colin straps into a race car. When the Midwest Truck Series comes to Golden Sands Speedway in 2026, Reffner will be racing on a track where his family name already means something.
Looking Ahead
The 2026 Midwest Truck Series season marks Colin Reffner’s first full campaign behind the wheel of the #31 Thirty One Motorsports Ford. After years of building his resume on Wisconsin’s most competitive short tracks, Reffner steps into the series ready to run at the front and make his presence known at every stop on the schedule.
