Every racing career begins with a dream.

For 13-year-old Ryder Stewart, that dream is already becoming reality.

Competing under the banner of Ryder Extreme Racing (RXR), Ryder races Quarter Midgets and Beginner Bandoleros, taking on some of the toughest young competitors in the Southeast. From weekly competition close to home to events like the prestigious Cook Out Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Ryder continues to gain valuable experience behind the wheel while pursuing his goal of climbing the motorsports ladder.

More Than a Race Team

Behind every young driver is a dedicated family making sacrifices to keep the dream alive.

Ryder's parents have committed countless hours traveling, preparing race cars, and supporting him at tracks across the region. Their passion and dedication have allowed Ryder to develop not only as a racer but also as a young ambassador for the sport.

Ryder also wants to shout out his uncle, Jordan, and his Aunt, Tori! Uncle Jordan helps with the car and Tori is a rock star photographer for the team!

At From the Pits to the Stands, we believe these are exactly the kinds of stories that deserve to be shared.
