The R&R Racing Team
"A true family racing operation."
Rich Johnston (Dad)
Racer himself with 16 years competing in Dwarf Cars on dirt tracks. His knowledge, hands-on experience, and understanding of race strategy play a major role in Ryan's development both on and off the track.
Valerie Johnston (Mom)
Grew up at the drag strip with racing in her blood. While she attempted dirt racing once in a Dwarf Car (and quickly decided it wasn't for her), she now keeps the team organized, supported, and moving forward behind the scenes. From logistics to sponsorship coordination, Valerie ensures the program runs smoothly and professionally.
Grandma & Papa
Every strong racing team needs a support system, and Ryan is fortunate to have one. Grandma and Papa are actively involved, helping at the track and providing the encouragement and support that keeps race nights running smoothly.
Dutton & Rip (Team Sidekicks)
No race weekend is complete without the team's four-legged fans. Dutton and Rip are always close by, bringing personality, energy, and a little extra fun to the pits.
