RYKER TOOPS

In the summer of 2021, I was just 7 years old, my dad asked me if I wanted to try racing a go-kart. I thought it might be fun, so I said yes! He bought me an outlaw winged restricted box stock go-kart and my mom ordered me some safety gear and raced it the next weekend at a local track, totally unprepared with no practice other than some laps around our yard. We started racing more and more and at other tracks. The very next year I was points champion in Restricted Box Stock at that same track. We raced Outlaw Motorsports winter season indoor races at the Heart of Oklahoma Expo Center in Shawnee, OK for 3 years in a row which gave me a lot of practice as they were 2 or more day shows. I started in just Jr 1, but moved up and ended racing Jr 2 and Jr 3. I won the Manufacturers Throwdown which was their biggest race of the year 2 years in a row! I was also 2nd in points for the year there in both classes in 2023. I was 2nd place in points for the year in Jr 3 in 2024. That is when we completely moved on from go-karts and up to Junior Sprint. I raced my first Tulsa Shootout in 2024 in Jr. Sprint and made it to the B main. I raced the Tulsa Shootout in 2025 in Junior Sprint and 2026 in Junior Sprint and Restricted Micro. I made the A main in Junior Sprint finishing 13th. I made a B main in Restricted Micro finishing 9th. Can't wait for this years Shootout! That was my last race in a Junior Sprint. Wins in 2026 in Restricted Micro: 9/3/26 KKM at Coles County Wayne County Speedway 8/8/26 KKM Race at Coles County Speedway 7/17/26 Night 4 of Indiana Speed Week -Rush County Raceway 7/2/26 Southern Illinois Raceway 6/6/26 Southern Illinois Raceway 5/2/26
