Landon Royle #18

Landon Royle has established himself as the dominant force in Summit Raceway’s 250s micro sprint class while representing the next generation of the track’s most influential racing family. Originally racing as car #L7 in the Advanced class, this Spring Creek, Nevada native has shown remarkable four-year progression, climbing from 6th place in 2022 (207 points) to 3rd place in 2023 (308 points) before transitioning to dual-class racing in 2024, where he captured championships in both Advanced (455 points, 4 wins) and 250s (20 points, 2 wins) divisions. In 2025, he focused on 250s competition and delivered a dominant championship performance with 240 points and 7 wins. Described as a “Northern Nevada 250 outlaw kart driver,” his most memorable moment came when he won Gold Rush the same year as his step dad Matt – a family achievement that highlights the deep racing roots in the Royle-Rucker household. His career highlights include winning his first weekend racing and then capturing that same Gold Rush victory. As the son of Summit Raceway President Matt Rucker and Social Media Board Member Amber Royle, and older brother to Advanced champion Deakan, Landon represents the perfect combination of natural talent, family racing legacy, and track leadership support that defines Summit Raceway’s most successful racing dynasty. With incredible family support including his championship crew and multi-generational sponsors Papa Bill & Nana Cass (Racing Ruckers) and D’angel Fly High, plus Elko Sanitation and Nor Cal AG Repair, Landon embodies the grassroots racing excellence that makes Summit Raceway special.
