Career Feature Wins (410): 4

Ryan will run for Rookie of the Year honors at the Knoxville Raceway this season, after spending a year with the All Star Circuit of Champions. Teamed with crew chief Mike Deavers (who will also return to weekly 410 action at Knoxville in 2010), Ryan scored eight top tens with the tough series. He would finish fourth in the points race and second in contention for Rookie of the Year. He also set quick time during the All Stars "Thunder through the Plains" at the famous Belleville (KS) High Banks.

Ryan started in the sprint cars in 2002 where he was named Rookie of the Year at Jacksonville (IL) Speedway. He has four wins to his credit including the 2007 Herb Barlow Memorial in Jacksonville. That season, he was fourth in Midwest All Star Series points, and followed that up with a runner-up finish in 2008.

Before getting into the sprints, Ryan was a success in Quarter Midgets and Micro-Sprints. In 1997, he was the ALQMA Indoor Dirt Champion. He was the National NMMA Point champion in 1999, and the Jacksonville Speedway Micro-Sprint track champion in 2001.
