Matt Rucker #88 exemplifies the perfect balance of racing passion and track leadership as the dedicated President of Summit Raceway and competitive Sprints division racer. Based in Spring Creek, Nevada, Matt has demonstrated remarkable versatility across multiple racing classes while maintaining his executive responsibilities at the track. In 2023, he achieved an impressive 2nd place finish in the Micro 600 class with 484 points while simultaneously competing in Sprints, finishing 8th with 64 points. After taking 2024 off from racing to focus on his presidential duties, Matt returned to competition in 2025, concentrating solely on the Sprints class where he currently sits in 5th place with 65 points and recently earned a solid 4th place finish on July 26, 2025. As the patriarch of the legendary Royle-Rucker racing dynasty and stepdad to champions Landon Royle (250s) and Deakan Royle (Advanced), plus father to Hayden Rucker (Beginner), Matt provides invaluable leadership both on and off the track. His most memorable racing moment came when he won Gold Rush the same year as his stepson Landon, creating a family celebration that perfectly captures the multi-generational racing excellence that defines Summit Raceway. His dual role as track president and active competitor exemplifies his deep passion for motorsports and unwavering dedication to the Summit Raceway community.
