Sean Rayhall has won in nearly every type of car he’s ever driven. From Indy Lights to INEX Legends, Late Model Stocks to Prototypes, the 25 year old Georgia native has won a major event in every category. However, after retiring from the road racing world, Rayhall dipped his toes into the tumultuous waters of the dirt sprint car game in 2020 with Elkhart Lake, WI based Sippel Racin’, and my oh my did he make waves.
A largely successful Rookie campaign with the fiercely competitive IRA Sprint Car series based in Wisconsin saw Rayhall tally 16 top 15 finishes, 5 Top 10’s, 2 Quick Time awards, and a 6th overall finish in points. A respectable result to be sure, but Rayhall and the Bigg Golf 14R camp are hungry for more in 2021.
This season will see Rayhall take on the IRA Sprints schedule once again, as well as 20+ outside events with the All Star Circuit of Champions, World of Outlaws Nos Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, Huset’s Speedway, and Circle City Raceway, as well as 360 Sprint races with the USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour, Sprint Invaders Series, and Midwest Power Series. As well as being in a Sprint Car full time, Rayhall will return to his roots in Legends cars with the Marthaler Automotive Racing team in select events in 2021. Early season Sprint Car dates plus a host of legends races will form a personal “Speedweeks” for Rayhall to kick off the year.
“I’m extremely excited to kick off the season racing almost non-stop for two weeks, between our SRM crew on the sprint car side and the Marthaler Automotive Racing Legends program I’m joining this year.” Rayhall stated. “We have done a huge amount of work and development in the off season preparing for 2021, and I’m looking forward to seeing the results of that work in action on track.”
Rayhall will have no shortage of racing to begin 2021, with an extreme variety of races and track on his “Speedweeks” schedule. “On another side of things, we all know that there’s no substitute for seat time as a racing driver,” Rayhall said. “So between the All Stars, USCS, INEX Winter Nationals and my World of Outlaws debut at my ‘home track’ of Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, GA, I feel like we’re going to hit the ground running in 2021.”
Sean Rayhall will welcome back a host of sponsors from his 2020 campaign as well as some new ones ahead of 2021, including; Able Roofing, Star Pharmaceuticals, Ping Racing, Bigg Golf, SU Group, Marthaler Automotive Racing, ZMax Lubricants, Revogenex, HRX Racing Gear, X-1 Race Cars, Moyle Racing Engines, and QualityFreightRate.com.
“I can’t thank each of my partners enough for their support in making this happen to kick off the year.” Rayhall said about his ambitious ‘Speedweeks’. “Between testing and racing I get to be in a racecar 15 out of 17 days? You bet I’m smiling ear to ear and ready to get after it!”
Rayhall’s tentative 2021 schedule is listed below. Note that there may be dates added throughout the season with the World of Outlaws, and ASCS National Tour if the schedule allows it.
