Ryan Partridge outlasted defending series champion Chris Eggleston and NASCAR Next driver Julia Landauer in a green-white-checkered finish to the Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 at California's All American Speedway in the K&N Pro Series West  2016 season finale.

Unfortunately for Partridge, his third win of the season in the No. 9 Sunrise Ford/Eibach Springs/Lucas Oil Ford wasn't enough to catch Todd Gilliland, who won the 2016 K&N West Championship by a mere thirteen points over the veteran driver from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.

Partridge was fastest in both practices Saturday morning at All American, and started on the front row after rain washed out qualifying. He dominated the evening's race (led 153 laps of the 154-lap race), which was delayed several hours because of the weather. Noah Gragson finished fourth and Nicole Behar fifth

Partridge finished third in K&N West points last year with one win (Colorado National Speedway), six top fives and 10 top-10 finishes. But he had some bad luck last year, and Partridge believes that is the main reason why he wasn’t able to beat Chris Eggleston and Noah Gragson to win the championship.

This year, Partridge mentioned his bad luck with flat tires at the end of a few races for coming up short.

NASCAR Race Mom scoured Ryan’s website (which appears to have been dormant since 2013) and his social media sites; however, @FlyinRyan48's  plans for 2017 are a NASCAR Mystery for the moment. However, last year Ryan stated that he was entering the second year of a two-year deal with Bruncati and Sunrise Ford, and he did not expect to be back with the team next year.

Partidge did mention on the Fan4Racing Radio that he was planing on doing some SRL and Modifieds next year.  He also mentioned that he was still working on a deal to return to the K&N Pro Series West for his third season.
