About Ryan:
A third-generation racer from the Hawkeye State, Ryan Gustin has established himself as one of dirt Late Model racing's top rising stars, and he's looking to make his sixth full World of Outlaws Late Models season his best one yet.

A native of Marshalltown, Iowa, Gustin was one of the top Modified competitors in the Midwest for a decade, winning two United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) championships and numerous crown jewel races with the tour.

Gustin shifted his full focus to Late Model racing in 2021, and the following season he visited World of Outlaws Victory Lane for the first time at Sharon Speedway. He's added to his win total every year since, including a breakout 2025 campaign that included his first crown jewel, a $100,000 victory in the USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway.
