Fast Track Racing

10/13/2026

🏁 Paxton’s story is reaching beyond the racetrack.

In September, Justin Olson from Pitmark Racing Co. reached out after discovering Fast Track Racing. Our family, community involvement, and Paxton’s journey as an autistic racer caught his attention—and we’re proud to share the feature that grew from that connection.

Fast Track Racing started with a simple goal: help Paxton find a place where he felt capable, accepted, and like he belonged. With the support of our Edmonton International Raceway family, sponsors, friends, and fans, that has grown into something much bigger.

Racing has helped Paxton build confidence, take on challenges, connect with people, and find his voice. Now, sharing his experiences gives him a chance to encourage others.

For a young person who feels different or underestimated, seeing someone like Paxton pursue something he loves can matter. For families and communities, his story shows what opportunity, support, and belonging can make possible.

We’re chasing racing goals—and we’re proud of the impact Paxton is making along the way. ❤️

Thank you, Justin and Pitmark Racing Co., for helping tell his story, and to everyone who continues to stand behind Fast Track Racing.

Built Different. Not Less.

Read the feature and help us share it. You never know who it might reach. 🏁

For Fast Track Racing, the starting line was never really about trophies. It was about giving a young person a place to belong. The Alberta-based family team began taking shape in 2023, when Ryan started pitting for a racer at Edmonton International Raceway. Paxton had recently been diagnosed with a...

Happy Thanksgiving from Fast Track Racing! 🦃🏁

Paxton and Max are fighting over the wishbone, but neither is backing off the mashed potatoes. 😂

Our off-season training program? Fork lifts, gravy laps, and personal bests in pie consumption. At this rate, we might need a shoehorn and a pit crew to get Paxton back into the Mini Cup. 😅🥧

Today, we’re thankful for our racing family, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who cheers us on. 💙💖💛

Full plates. Full hearts. Questionable race-suit fit. 🏁

🏁 QUARTER-FINALS, BABY!! 🏁

First things first — a HUGE thank you to every single one of Paxton’s fans, supporters, friends, and family who have voted, shared, bugged their coworkers, reminded their cousins, texted the group chat, and probably annoyed at least one innocent bystander on his behalf. 😂🧡

👉 Voting starts again MONDAY morning:
https://athleteoftheyear.org/2026/paxton-b694

We truly would not have made it this far without you. Every vote, share, comment, and little bit of support has helped keep this race car moving forward — and somehow, this crew just keeps finding another gear. 🏎️💨

So for now… enjoy your weekend off. Rest those voting fingers. Hydrate. Carb load. Maybe do a few thumb stretches. 😂

Because Monday morning, we’re back on the track.

The quarter-finals are here, the green flag is coming, and we are NOT lifting now. 🔥🏁

We’re taking this thing ALL. THE. WAY.

Thank you for being part of Team Paxton. Buckle up — the next lap is about to get LOUD. 🏁🧡

The end of the season is always bittersweet. 🥹🏁 We never really know where to start when it comes to recapping a season like this one… but somehow, this was “officially” Paxton’s last race of 2026.

And WHAT. A. RACE.

A Pure Stock + Future Stock mashup — and Paxton was the ONLY Future Stock in the field.

He lined up against some seriously talented drivers, including the Pure Stock Champion and a NASCAR Late Model driver…

AND HE FINISHED 2ND.

SAY WHAT?!?! 🤯🔥

Hands down, one of the greatest races we’ve gotten to watch all season.

But our favourite moment?

The very last lap of the very last race of his 2026 season.

Paxton took everything Craig from the The Tire Spot - Leduc taught him during that one trip out to the drift track and decided there was only one appropriate way to finish the season…

SIDEWAYS. 😎💨

Of course he did.

What a way to close out 2026. 🏁❤️

P2 against that field. One heck of a final race. And a finish we’ll be talking about for a LONG time.

That’s a wrap on 2026, kid. ❤️🏎️

🏁🔥 FATHER VS. SON: THE STOCKS SHOWDOWN! 🔥🏁

The upcoming Future Stock/Pure Stock mash-up is about to get PERSONAL! 😏

In one corner, we’ve got RYAN — the dad, the self-proclaimed veteran, the man with a whopping less than THREE races under his belt. 💪😂

And let’s not forget, in one of those races, he managed to lose a tire just FIVE laps in.

Five laps, folks. The tire had more sense than to stick around for the rest of the race. 💀🛞

In the other corner, we’ve got PAXTON #12 — young, fearless, self-taught, and apparently now responsible for teaching his own father how to race. 😂

Usually, it’s the dad teaching his son the ropes. Not in this family. Paxton figured it out himself, and now Ryan’s getting driving lessons from the kid he used to teach how to ride a bike. 🤣

The big question: WHO’S GOING TO LAP WHO?! 👀🏁

Will Ryan finally make it past lap five with all four tires attached? Or will Paxton be waving at Dad as he goes by… again? 👋💨

We think we already know how this is going to go, but hey, miracles happen. 😂

👇 PICK YOUR TEAM! 👇

💙 TEAM RYAN — Three races (almost), four tires (hopefully), unlimited confidence.

💛 TEAM PAXTON #12 — Self-taught, Dad-trained, and ready to make Thanksgiving dinner uncomfortable.

FAST TRACK RACING — Different. Not Less. And definitely not waiting for Dad to catch up. 🏁🔥

Huge thank you Damien Rydvall Racing #89 for loaning us your car so they can do this together!

🏁 2026… Well, that was a ride. Literally. 😂🔥

Let’s recap, shall we?

🏆 2025: First year in Future Stocks. Rookie of the Year. 2nd in points.

🏁 2026: Second year in Future Stocks. 3rd overall.

And while 3rd overall is absolutely something to be proud of… we’re going to say it. We’re disappointed. And that’s okay.

Between the car troubles, figuring out tires, a wreck that apparently decided to take the tire, axle, alignment, and just about everything else with it… this season tested us in ways we didn’t exactly sign up for. 😂

We came to race, not earn an honorary degree in mechanical engineering and crisis management. 🔧🤣

But through every setback, every late night, every frustrating race, and every “Are you freaking kidding me?!” moment, our driver kept showing up. Kept learning. Kept pushing. And kept proving that a rough season doesn’t mean you stop fighting.

We couldn’t be prouder of Paxton. ❤️

And we couldn’t be more grateful for our crew, our pit family, and our incredible racetrack community. The people who show up with tools, advice, spare parts, helping hands, and occasionally just the right amount of inappropriate humour to keep everyone from completely losing their minds. You know who you are. 😂

You are what makes this whole crazy racing life worth it.

And to my Shake and Bake buddy Damien Rydvall Racing #89 … congratulations on your championship! 🏆 You earned it, and it is so well deserved! Couldn’t be happier for you. Shake and Bake, baby! 🤜🤛🏁

So, 2026… you were a little rude, if we’re being honest. But you taught us plenty.

2027, we’re coming back stronger, smarter, and ready to compete. 💪🏁

The countdown is already on.

Now, if the racing gods could kindly give us a season with a little less character development, a lot fewer broken parts, a few more checkered flags, and maybe tell the rain to find literally ANYWHERE ELSE to spend its weekends, that would be fantastic. 🌧️😂

We’ve had enough rain delays to last us until approximately 2047.

See you in 2027. We’re not done yet. 😎🏁🔥
