At the end of 2006 Childress picked up the Northern California racer to run the “21” car, by coincidence the same number Ryan has had throughout his entire racing career; a career starting at age 8 and spanning Outlaw Dirt Sprint Karts, Legends and Late Models - with championships at all levels. At age 16 Foster made his Late Model debut at Altamont where he qualified fast time and won the Trophy Dash. Such success gives this track a sentimental significance to Foster. “Altamont has always been one of my favorite places to run and I am very excited about returning to this track with such a great car and team.” says Foster.
Foster attributes much of his success at Altamont, to the late Jeff Anthony, an Altamont track champion and crowd favorite. “Being a young driver I looked up to Jeff. He taught me so much about racing, especially how to run the best lines at Altamont, and just being a good competitor in general. He was an outstanding driver who is greatly missed.” said Foster. He will surely be thinking of Jeff Anthony as he straps in for the run, and knows that a good finish would honor the memory of his mentor.
The extended television coverage, including live broadcasts of the entire series on HD Net and enhanced presentations on SPEED, has been an extra boon for the sponsors who make the whole thing possible. As always, Ryan is very grateful to his sponsors, including this race’s Spotlight Sponsor, Chase Chevrolet, Hill’s Meats, IPS Global, Roto-Rooter, FoodComm International, Corte Madera Tow, and many other generous companies and individuals.
