Anderson, STQRA’s 2005 Youth and Sport Quad class champions, was on a roll this year. He took a 1-1 win at Round 2 of the ATVA nationals at Oak Hill MX Park, placed fourth in Round 1 at Glen Helen, and won all but one of the first five STQRA Sport Quad rounds before missing the last two.

Surprising many, Anderson and his family this week announced on the STQRA website his retirement from quad racing.
“As some of you may have already heard, Ryan has officially retired from quad racing. Look at the classified section for the details of everything that is for sale. Ryan has made this decision on his own due to certain circumstances that have happened this year concerning the safety of this sport. In no way am I or Diane going to try to talk him out of his decision. Although we have met many, many very nice people and many life long friends, the one that helped Ryan the most is DEE. We as a family want to say THANKS DEE, THANKS to all, GOOD LUCK in the future, and we have enjoyed the ride!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike, Diane and Ryan Anderson”
Anderson was competing in the Youth Production class when #23 Zak Griffin died at Gatorback March 11th, and he witnessed the tragedy. He afterward rode with the #23 stickers. Then came J. Jones’ accident, plus the countless other serious injuries the ATV motocross family has suffered this year, including Kevin's. Anderson has made the decision to hang up his helmet, and his quad and gear are posted for sale on the STQRA website.
Anderson’s seasoned skill and natural ability made him one of the best in youth ATV motocross, and this young friend will certainly be missed on the track! We wish him the best.

Gray, the Round 6 class champ, went for a pass and the two crashed. Lozano was still able to pull off a fifth place finish, which gave him third overall. Gray wasn’t as lucky. Currently third in points, he will likely be out for the season as he recovers from knee surgery. We wish him a speedy recovery!
