Career Highlights
Ryan Millington is one of the steadiest and most accomplished active competitors on the 2026 CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car circuit. The 24-year-old from Statesville, North Carolina, drives the No. 40 Chevrolet for TS Racing, continuing a CARS Tour career that began in 2018.
Millington's credentials include becoming the youngest Late Model Stock Car track champion in Hickory Motor Speedway history — a record that has since been matched but speaks to the early promise he showed. He has gone on to accumulate 52 career CARS Tour starts, two victories (2020 and 2024), four pole positions, and a best championship finish of fourth in 2024.
His second career win came in 2024 after a four-year gap since his first — a testament to the patience and persistence required to compete at the front of one of the most competitive Late Model Stock fields in the country. That 2024 season was his best overall, combining the win with consistent top-ten finishes to earn a career-best points result.
Millington has also competed in the Virginia Late Model Triple Crown Series, the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing, and the NASCAR Weekly Series. His Statesville, North Carolina, base puts him in the heart of NASCAR country, and his trajectory from youngest Hickory champion to consistent CARS Tour contender mirrors the development path the series is designed to provide.
For 2026, Millington moved to TS Racing, bringing his experience and proven speed to a new team partnership.
