Deakan “D” Royle represents the incredible potential of Summit Raceway’s next generation, showcasing one of the most remarkable four-year championship journeys in track history. At just 10 years old, this Spring Creek, Nevada native has been racing since 2021 and has demonstrated extraordinary progression, climbing from 8th place in 2022 (215 points) to 6th place in 2023 (288 points) to 3rd place in 2024 (453 points) in the Intermediate class before making the leap to Advanced and capturing the 2025 championship with 309 points and 4 wins. As the younger brother of 250s champion Landon Royle and son of Summit Raceway President Matt Rucker and Social Media Board Member Amber Royle, Deakan has racing literally in his DNA and the ultimate family support system. His career highlight came with his first victory on 8/11/23, marking the beginning of his championship trajectory. With sponsors including Papa Bill & Nana Cass (Racing Ruckers – his grandparents) and D’Angel Fly High (his grandmother), Deakan embodies the perfect combination of natural talent, multi-generational family legacy, and track leadership support.
