Personal Touch: A Little More About Me Beyond the Track
Hey everyone! It’s Ryan here, and I wanted to take a break from all the racing talk and share a bit about myself outside of the track. So much of my life revolves around the #11 car, but there’s a lot more to me than just the driver behind the wheel. I thought I’d take this opportunity to tell you a few fun facts about me, share some of the challenges I’ve faced as a young racer, and talk about what keeps me going every day.
Fun Facts About Me Outside of Racing
I’ve spent so much of my life on the track, but when I’m not racing, here’s a peek into what I’m up to:
Hobbies & Interests: Outside of racing, I’m a big fan of pc gaming. It’s my way to relax and recharge when I need to step away from the chaos of race day.
Favorite Food: I’ve gotta say, I can never get enough of pizza. It’s the one meal I could eat every single day if I had the chance. Seriously.
Personal Role Models: I look up to a lot of people, but one person who really stands out to me is my dad. He’s taught me a lot about life, and doing what is right and I try to live by that every day.
Challenges I’ve Overcome as a Young Racer
Getting to this point in racing has come with its fair share of challenges. But every setback has taught me something new, and it’s all been part of the journey. Here are a few of the obstacles I’ve faced along the way:
Starting Young: Racing has been my dream since I was a kid. But starting out young comes with a lot of challenges, like juggling school, training, and trying to gain experience while staying focused. It’s not always easy, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Financial Struggles: There were times when my family didn’t know how we were going to make it to the next race. We worked really hard to make my dream happen, and there were a lot of sacrifices along the way. I’ll always be grateful to my family for doing everything they could to make this possible.
Handling Pressure: Racing isn’t just about speed—it’s also about mental toughness. The pressure to perform but no matter how high the stakes, I know I’ve got to stay focused and keep pushing.
What Motivates Me to Keep Pushing Forward
Racing is more than just a sport to me. It’s my life, and the reason I keep pushing through all the highs and lows is simple:
My Family: I’ve said it before, but I owe everything to my family. They’ve been by my side from day one—whether it was cheering me on or helping me out when things got tough. Without their support, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
The Love of the Sport: At the end of the day, racing is what I love. The thrill of being behind the wheel, the adrenaline, and the drive to improve—it’s what keeps me coming back, race after race.
Proving Myself: Every race is a chance for me to prove not only to my fans but to myself that I can overcome anything and continue to grow. I’m not here just to race—I’m here to leave a legacy and show that I’m capable of so much more.
Looking Forward
As I keep pushing forward, I know there’s still so much more to accomplish. Every race is a new opportunity to learn, to grow, and to make my supporters proud. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me, and I’m so thankful to have you all along for the ride.
Thank You for Being Part of the Journey
I truly appreciate all the love and support from each and every one of you. You’re the reason I keep fighting and giving it my all on the track. Let’s keep racing forward together!
