Ryder Stewart

Every race starts with a green flag.

Every racing career starts with a dream.

For Ryder Stewart, that dream is becoming reality one lap at a time.

At just 13 years old, Ryder is already building an impressive racing résumé through Quarter Midget competition and the Beginner Bandolero division in the Cook Out Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Racing under the Ryder Extreme Racing (RXR) banner, he continues to gain valuable experience while competing against some of the Southeast's top young talent.

Whether it's a local race weekend or the prestigious Cook Out Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Ryder approaches every opportunity with determination, sportsmanship, and a passion for motorsports.

Behind every young driver is a family making countless sacrifices to keep the dream alive. Long nights in the garage, miles on the highway, and countless hours at the racetrack are all part of the journey. Ryder's family, crew, and sponsors make it possible for him to continue chasing his goals every weekend.

That's what makes grassroots racing special.

At From the Pits to the Stands, we believe every racer has a story worth telling. We're proud to support Ryder by sharing his journey, introducing him to new fans, and helping connect him with future sponsors and opportunities.

As one of our PTS Supported Drivers, Ryder represents everything we love about grassroots racing—hard work, perseverance, family, and the pursuit of a dream.

We're excited to follow Ryder's career and can't wait to see what the future holds.
