Driver Information

My name is Alex Ruedinger. I am 19 years old. This year will be my second year racing. I am the driver of the number 97R Legend and 97 Wisconsin Sport Truck. In my rookie year I finished 8th in points at Wisconsin International Raceway and 3rd in the touring series. I am the 2021 Rookie Driver of the Year. I was also voted Most Improved Driver which is determined by my peers.
I have enjoyed auto racing of all kinds since I was a little kid. I enjoy the competition and comradery that comes with racing. My goal in racing is to continue to improve as a driver and grow into higher level racing classes.

I run in a class called the Wisconsin Sport Trucks. It is an asphalt “mini" truck racing series with the same sense of BIG weekly competition as other divisions that race every Thursday night at Wisconsin International Raceway. Racing action continues in our touring series. The trucks we run are powered by high performance snowmobile engines. The chassis are all home built, with roll cages and 5pt safety harnesses. The trucks do not have suspension, this helps them to be cost effective but, sometimes a challenge to drive. At some tracks we reach speeds over 80MPH It is a highly competitive class that is welcoming to drivers ages 14 to 90.
