The Rancho Cucamonga native returns to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West now for four years and has driven for Sunrise Ford Racing since 2015. Partridge has had a successful career in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West with last season being his best. Partridge finished 2nd in the points standings to Todd Gilliland. Partridge was able to gain 3 victories along with 10 Top-5's, 13 Top-10's, and 5 Poles. Partridge returns in 2017 where he will compete against rival Todd Gilliland for the K&N Pro Series West Championship.
Joining Ryan for the 2017 Season will be Julia Landauer. In 2016, Julia made her NASCAR K&N Pro Series debut at Irwindale with BMR. A successful season for Landauer was topped with a career best finish of 2nd at Meridian. Landauer was a member of the NASCAR NEXT program promoting the next generation of NASCAR Drivers. She joined a group that included Alon Day, Garry Klutt, Matt Tifft, along with others who are the future of the sport. In 2016, Landauer gained 7 Top-5's, 13 Top-10's, and finished 4th in NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Standings. Landauer is still chasing her first career victory and it could come this season with Sunrise Ford Racing behind the wheel of the #6 Ford Fusion. (Koelle,2017)
