Ryan is a 3rd-generation RACECAR DRIVER

Born in California and raised in Northern Virginia, Ryan Ellis began racing at age 4. He's won national championships and primary races in professional series as Grand-Am/IMSA, Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup, and many more. Ellis began racing in NASCAR in 2012 for smaller/mid-sized teams, even "start-and-park" for a few seasons, to make a name for himself at the NASCAR level. He made his NASCAR Cup Series debut in 2015 and has since built a career driving for small and mid-sized teams, making the most of each opportunity.

He joined Alpha Prime Racing in 2022, running 11 races that season, 31 in 2023.

2024 was his first full-time season in NASCAR, driving the No.43 Chevy.

2025 marked a new beginning for Ellis as he joined DGM Racing, driving the No.71 Chevy.

2026 brings another change for Ryan and his partners, as they transition to Young's Motorsports and the 02 Chevrolet.

Ellis is married to his wife Allison, and together they have two daughters, Hayden and Zoey.

They also have two dogs named Charlie and Andy. They live in Huntersville, North Carolina, and in his free time, Ryan enjoys working out, playing hockey, and playing video games with friends.
