Ryan Partridge (born May 17, 1988) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, driving the No. 9 Ford Fusion for Sunrise Ford Racing. He was the Whelen All-American Series champion in 2013 and 2014.

Racing career

His father was a track announcer, which led to his interest in racing. Partridge started racing Legends in 2004.[1]

Partridge made his K&N Pro Series West debut at Havasu 95 Speedway in April 2012. In 2013 and 2014 he won the Whelen All-American Series. He was the Whelen All-American Series California champion in 2014.[2]

In 2015 and 2016, Partridge competed full-time in the Pro Series West. He won his first series race at Colorado National Speedway during his first year,[3] followed by three more victories in 2016. He finished second to Todd Gilliland in the 2016 championship.[4] For the 2017 season, NASCAR mandated a drug test for all regional series drivers in order to obtain a series license, one in which Partridge received an inconclusive grade, rendering him unable to drive in the season opener race in Tucson. Due to the lengthy process of obtaining another test, Partridge missed the first four races of the season.[5]

Personal life

Partridge was born in Rancho Cucamonga, California.[2]
