Bryson Ruff is into extremes. He is often the youngest driver on the track, even now as an 18-year-old Late Model driver, and he is always the most competitive. He is working towards a dream career in the world of professional motorsports.

After a stellar 2021 rookie season in the Limited Late Model Division, Bryson secured his spot in the elite NASCAR Late Model Stock division for 2022 as part of the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series and will continue in this division in 2023 with plans to compete at various tracks in NC, SC, VA, and TN. With his team, Charlie Sigmon Racing (CSR) and new Spotter/Driver Coach Doug Smith, this young driver has set his sights on a solid points year and his first Late Model trophy after using 2022 as a season to gain valuable seat time and experience in this new car.

In 2021, Bryson competed in 19 races, resulting in 9 wins and 12 poles, earning him the Most Poles Award, the Most Popular Driver Award, and a 3rd-Place regular season points finish. His on-track success has come after years of hard work on and off the racetrack. Bryson worked hard in 2021 to expand his media presence, with increased interviews, promotional events, and increased social media engagements.

2019 and 2020 saw Bryson transition to the elite Legends Pro Division, where the best of the best in Legend Cars race at an incredibly high level of competition. The transition was a challenge, but Bryson wheeled his No. 24 machine with precision at tracks across the country. By the end of the 2019 season he had earned a top-20 position in Pro Division National Points, after finishing 5th in the Bojangles’ Summer Shootout Pro Division Points. He also finished 5th in North Carolina state points for his new division. 2020 was not as great of a year, mostly because of limited racing opportunities due to COVID-19.

In 2018, Bryson had a stellar sophomore year in the Legends Young Lions Division, earning his second Concord Speedway (NC) track championship, finishing 5^th in national points, and securing his spot in the elite Pro Division for 2019. His on-track success has come after years of hard work on and off the racetrack.

After he took on his second season in the national karting scene in 2014, returning to the Rotax Micro MAX as well as racing in his first season of Bandolero Beginner Bandits division of INEX racing, Bryson made the transition in 2015 to the INEX Bandolero Bandit division. Eager to learn and master his race craft, he competed in 49 races at six different tracks, including Charlotte Motor Speedway (NC), Concord Speedway (NC), Southern National Motorsports Park (NC), Atlanta Motor Speedway (GA), Orlando Speedworld (FL), and the famed Bowman Gray Stadium (NC). He was able to pick up two victories during the season, which included 21 top-five finishes.

In 2016 Bryson continued his education from behind the wheel of a Bandolero in the Bandits division of INEX racing competition. He won may notable events and championships, including the Bojangles’ Summer Shootout Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway and LegendStock IX in New York. In 2017, Bryson moved up to the Legends Young Lions Division; that rookie season saw him earning his first championship in a Legend at Concord.

A natural talent with an undeniable passion for the sport, Bryson represents the future of motorsports. He is a well-rounded young man who is poised to become a star in the sport with NASCAR aspirations.
