[1] He currently races the No. 07 Toyota GR GT4 Supra Evo for Precision Racing L.A. in the Pirelli GT4 America series as well as serving as Head of Driver and Racing Business Development for them and their sister team L.A. Honda World Racing. [2] He is affectionately referred to as "The People's Champ," due to his fan interactions. From 2015 to 2023,Eversley was a Honda factory driver who primarily raced in sports car racing championships such as the Michelin Pilot Challenge and Pirelli World Challenge. He won the 2018 Pirelli World Challenge TCR championship. [3] In his spare time Ryan also works as an American developer,Ryan learned coding at a very young age.
Though his parents could not fund his racing career,they were supportive and helped Eversley to find opportunities. He left public school and pursued his high school degree in a homeschooling program so he could pursue a driving career.
Eversley got a job from Mike Johnson in 2001 with the Archangel Racing Team as a mechanic,allowing him to leave his full-time job at the local mill. He vowed that his entrance into motor sports would allow him to never need to return to the mill.
"I was one of the first guys in the shop every day and I was the one they had to tell to go home because I was so excited to be working on prototypes at 16 and 17 years old," Eversley stated in an interview on the Marshall Pruett Podcast in 2016. [4] His first race as a mechanic was with the Archangel team the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona in 2001.
Using the money he made working,Eversley went to the Panoz Racing Schools at Road Atlanta and raced go-karts whenever possible to gain experience. A driver himself,Mike Johnson was able to help Eversley get seat time and eventually a ride in the Continental Tire Series.
Eversley's first race took place in Sonoma in the Spring of 2003 in a Star Mazda. In his own words:“I rented a ride from a kid I met on Auto Racing AOL chatroom. This kid,Chris Nelson,him and his dad Bob Nelson help me out”. The Nelsons had the car,but didn't have enough money to race it. Eversley continues:“They said come to Sonoma. As long as you don’t crash you’re fine. It was kind of nerve wracking,because I don’t have two pennies to rub together…We go. I finish dead last,I sucked and I was so happy.” [5]
Debuted in ST I class. He finished 16th in only one race at Virginia International Raceway.
In 2004,James Cook offered Eversley a ride in three IMSA races if he would build the car for him. Eversley accepted and created a team with Crew Chief Jason Duncan. They built the B2K/40 Lola with a Millington turbo engine and raced it at Mid-Ohio,Lime Rock and Road Atlanta in the LMP2 class. Though the class was small,the car finished 2nd in each race.

In the first Pirelli World Challenge race of 2015,the Nissan Grand Prix of Texas at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin,TX,Eversley,in the No. 43 RealTime/Acura Motorsports/HPD Acura TLX-GT,rocketed up to finish fifth after starting 25th on the day. Eversley was awarded the Optima Batteries Best Start Award for gaining eight positions,and the VP Racing Fuels Hard Charger Award for gaining 20 positions in the race.
Driving an Acura TLX for RealTime Racing,Eversley recorded a win at St. Petersburg,ultimately finishing 6th in the GT standings.
Eversley returned to World Challenge racing with RealTime in 2016,again driving the TLX. He recorded back-to-back wins at Road America,finishing 6th in the GT standings for the second year in a row with four podiums. [8]
RealTime Racing returned to the World Challenge in 2017 with a new program in the Acura NSX GT3. [9] They scored one podium with a 2nd-place finish at Utah,but Eversley reported in the Mario Andretti episode of his Dinner With Racers podcast that the team is struggling with downforce in their first year in development with the new car.
In December 2017,Eversley announced that he would be joining Honda of America Racing Team (HART) in 2018 to drive an Acura NSX GT3 with co-driver Chad Gilsinger in Tequila Patron North American Endurance Cup races.
In the inaugural season of the Pirelli World Challenge TCR class,Eversley won five races to clinch the championship. [10]
A few weeks prior to the opening weekend of the Blancpain GT Series of America,Eversley announced his commitment to the Gradient Racing team,running an Acura NSX GT3 Evo. Eversley continued his IMSA career with co-driver Chad Gilsinger in HART's Honda Civic Type R TCR under the Michelin Pilot Challenge.
In July,he made his Stadium Super Trucks debut at Honda Indy Toronto,driving the No. 43 Continental Tire truck. [11] The following month,he competed in the series' second Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course weekend. In the Friday round,he was involved in a wreck with Jeff Hoffman on the first lap that sent his truck into a flip before landing on its wheels;although he finished fourth,he was promoted to third when Cole Potts received a one-position penalty for cutting the course. [12] [13]
Eversley joined the LA Honda World team in the Michelin Pilot Challenge for 2020. [14]
On June 18,2021,Eversley announced he would make his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Road America in the No. 53 for Rick Ware Racing. [15]
In February 2022,it was announced that Eversley would be co-driving with Aidan Read in the No. 51 Nurtec ODT Acura NSX GT3 Evo for Rick Ware Racing for the IMSA WeatherTech Sprint Cup Championship. [16] The team was set to finish in fourth-place on debut at Long Beach until they were pushed into a tire barrier by a prototype. The team would score their only podium finish of the season at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. Eversley and Read finished eighth in the Sprint Cup Championship. Rick Ware Racing would move the program to the LMP2 class for 2023 and Eversley would not return.
Eversley also competed in a part-time schedule in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge,returning to L.A. Honda World Racing after a year away,driving the No. 73 Honda Civic Type R TCR. [17] He teamed up with Mike LaMarra for the races at Daytona,Sebring,and Watkins Glen,and was joined by Mat Pombo at the season finale at Road Atlanta. Pombo would win the pole at Road Atlanta and they were in contention for the win late in the race before finishing fourth. Eversley also joined HART's No. 89 Honda Civic Type R TCR driving lineup at Road America.
In December 2022,L.A. Honda World Racing announced that Eversley would drive the No. 37 Honda Civic Type R TCR with Mat Pombo and that they would be the first team to take delivery of the new Honda Civic FL5 Type Rs. [18] Pombo would win the team four straight pole positions to open the season at Daytona,Sebring,Laguna Seca,and Watkins Glen,giving him five straight poles dating back to the 2022 season finale. The team would score their first podium of the season with a third-place finish at Laguna Seca. They would score their second podium at Lime Rock after dominating the race on pace from the pole,but the car struggled with tire degradation over the full run and would fall behind two Hyundais to finish third. After Lime Rock,the team made the decision to shuffle the driver lineups to "switch up the mojo" after some struggles and Eversley would once again pair with LaMarra who had been driving the sister No. 73 Honda beginning at Road America. Eversley and LaMarra would finish the season with a third-place podium finish at Road Atlanta with Eversley finishing 12th in the TCR driver's championship.

[19] In March 2024,it was announced that he would share the No. 07 Toyota with Harry Cheung in the season opener at Sonoma. [20]
After driving the Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF) charity car in the 2011 24 Hours of Daytona,Eversley has been committed to raising money and awareness to battle neurofibromatosis,a condition that causes tumors to form in the brain,spinal cord,and nerves. Over the last few years Eversley has raised tens of thousands of dollars for CTF,largely through an annual event called the Cupid's Undie Run,which he and other team members run in their underwear every February.
Eversley co-hosts the racing podcast Dinner with Racers with former sports car PR person Sean Heckman. They begrudgingly travel across the United States to interview hesitant racing drivers,team owners,engineers and general motorsports personalities over meals. The show has had more than one season and some guests from various motorsports series,mostly focused on American racing series like NASCAR,IndyCar and the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
