RYAN BEAT

 Ryan Beat is a fierce competitor who has become a leader in short-course off-road racing. With four Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) championships under his belt, Ryan's passion for racing has driven him to dominate short-course tracks across the U.S. for over a decade. His journey began in Supercross and Motocross, but after an injury, he transitioned to four wheels, where he forged a remarkable career.

Ryan's rise in short course off-road started in the LOORRS UTV class, where he quickly proved his talent. He then joined the Hart & Huntington team, racing a PRO-LITE truck, and finished second in the PRO-LITE Championship. Not one to settle, Ryan took the bold step of launching his own team, quickly establishing it as a powerhouse in short-course racing. His impressive record includes over 40 career wins, 95 podium finishes, and the prestigious Rick Huseman Award in 2018 and 2020. Ryan claimed the 2017 PRO-LITE World Championship title and secured back-to-back LOORRS PRO-LITE Championships in 2018 and 2019. 

Since joining Champ Off-Road, Ryan’s raced in PRO-LITE, PRO-2, and the newly formed PRO-SPEC class. In 2021, the series tapped him to help design and launch the PRO-SPEC class to help transition drivers from SxS to pro competition. Coming off a successful 2024 where he claimed three wins, ten podium finishes, and a second-place finish in the championship point standings, Ryan looks to best that in 2025 when he’ll enter his fifth full-time season of PRO-2 Champ Off-Road competition.

With Ryan at the helm of Ryan Beat Motorsports (R/BM) as owner/driver, the team stands as the only Chevy OEM factory-backed team in the Champ Off-Road Series. As the largest team in the series, R/BM fields five trucks across three classes with six drivers. Beyond his success on the track, Ryan is dedicated to the future of the sport, mentoring young drivers and introducing new partners to short-course off-road. 

Headquartered in Denver, NC, R/BM operates out of a state-of-the-art 15,000 sq. ft. facility where every truck is meticulously built from the ground up. With his wife Shawna and daughters Reagan and Rylee by his side, Ryan continues to push the boundaries, ensuring his legacy in short-course off-road racing is far from over.
