ron.brown11 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Ryan, from Cypress, TX took the leas early and drove away to win the Governor's Cup 50 lap Pro Late Model race Sat. night. Finishing second was the 2020 track champ Brad May; 3rd was Steven Nasse; 4th was Daniel Keene Jr; and 5th was Hayden Sprague. Ryan won by a little over 1/4 lap. He had over a 1/2 lap lead when a late caution came out. Not sure if Ryan had ever ran at New Smyrna before, but he ran really good. Steven Nasse is an extremely strong competitor anywhere he runs, but tends to be very strong at FL tracks. The race was shown on NBC Sports Gold Track Pack. Today at 1:00 on Track Pack will be the 200 lap Super Late Models there. They are supposed to have more than the 2 cameras today covering that race. Still it was a good watch. Hopefully it won't rain, as there is a 40% chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rails Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Whose equipment was he in? He seems to be good in anything he gets in, weather it is family equipment or someone elses. He lives in the neighborhood that I live in here in Cypress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron.brown11 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I did a little research to see if Ryan was driving for someone at New Smyrna. He was driving a Mike Skinner (RCS) car. At Five Flags he will be running a car from Jett Motorsports. Ryan had signed to race for Jett before the Prelude race for Skinner. Apparently he has made enough money racing in the IRacing league to allow him to get into these seats. The interesting thing about that is that Jett Motorsports protested Ryan's win at New Smyrna. It sounds like the protest had more to do with the conflicts between the Skinner & Jett organizations than it was about Ryan. After all that, Ryan was still the winner. Ryan smacked the wall Friday in practice. Hopefully they can get it repaired to pre-crash shape, because he was fast. Also, Jett is the team that fields cars for Stephen Nasse, so it's a very good team. Hopefully this TX driver can bring some hardware back home today.
