How do I trim a character off of a string if and only if it exists, once it's in a variable?

Friends,

I assign a string to a variable, from a qry, and if per chance the string contains the letter T, I want to strip that T off.  Is it possible?

Here is the code where it happens

Public Sub GetRaceResults(ByVal dsnHistory)

        Try
            Dim DriverFirstName As String
            Dim DriverLastName As String
            Dim CarNumber As String
            Dim RaceRank As Integer
            Dim Team As String

            Dim data As New DataSet
            Dim r As DataRow
         
            Dim con As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(dsnHistory)

           data = New DataSet

            Dim dr As SqlClient.SqlDataReader

            con = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(dsnHistory)

            con.Open()

            Dim c As New SqlClient.SqlCommand("SELECT " _
            & "DriverFirstName=RTrim(FirstName), " _
            & "DriverLastName=RTrim(LastName), " _
            & "CarNumber=RTrim([No]), " _
            & "RaceRank, " _
            & "Team=Rtrim(Team), " _
            & "License " _
            & "FROM " _
            & "Results " _
            & "WHERE (SeasonID = " & SeasonID & " AND EventID = " & EventID & "AND RunID = " & RunID & ")" _
            & "ORDER BY RaceRank", con)

            dr = c.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SingleResult)

           'loop through the records
            While dr.Read()


                'assign DriverFirstName to variable
                DriverFirstName = dr.Item("DriverFirstName")
                'assign DriverLastName to variable
                DriverLastName = dr.Item("DriverLastName")
                CarNumber = dr.Item("CarNumber") <--If at this point, the string inside has a T on the end, can I kill that T?
                'assign RaceRank to variable
                RaceRank = dr.Item("RaceRank")
                'assign Team to variable
                Team = dr.Item("Team")

                ....

Thanks in advance!
