Clyde Stacy

With deep roots in Virginia’s coal and entertainment industries, when Clyde Stacy turned his attention west toward desert racing, he took it by storm. As the co-founder of RPM Racing, he has blended his assertive management style with a passion for being behind the wheel. During his tenure, Clyde has piloted everything from Class 5-1600 buggies and Full Stock, to Class 2, 4, and 8 platforms, claiming numerous wins and championships along the way. Stepping up to the Trophy Truck league in 2013, he took home the Rod Hall Milestone Award six out of the following seven years. Whether it is a SCORE, NORRA, HDRA, or Best in the Desert event, we can usually find Clyde and the RPM team in the pits preparing for the green flag. 

Prior to the green flag, however, is where Clyde has forged his mark. Embracing the Baja culture, over the years, he has worked with and supported various orphanages and struggling families, focusing on providing opportunities to aspiring local drivers and bringing them on his race team, where they might otherwise be sidelined. 

“Clyde is humble and down-to-earth, never wanted to be in the limelight, and you wouldn’t know he had two nickels to rub together. But he has always been there to lend support where it is needed. One of the nicest guys you will ever meet.” — Frank DeAngelo, ORMHOF Class of 2013

High on Clyde’s bucket list has been to have an RPM driver achieve a victory in every SCORE class, and they are well on their way. But along the way, he has also invested heavily in assisting event promoters, as well as, innovated race technology such as the Geiser twin-engine all-wheel drive Trick Truck.  

Motorsports icon and ORMHOF Class of 2019 inductee Robbie Gordon shared, “Clyde’s impact in off-road racing extends far beyond his impressive record of victories. As a competitor, team owner, and ambassador for the sport, he has consistently demonstrated the passion, perseverance, and commitment that defines true off-road legends. A generous supporter of the racing community, Clyde has provided countless drivers with opportunities to launch and advance their careers, helping the next generation of off-road champions.”
