Bryan is another driver who grew up around racing because his Dad, Greg raced dragsters. The "seed for speed" was planted early and by the age of four, Bryan was pretty adept on a Quad and while not racing in an organized program, he developed a competitive attitude. At thirteen, Stanfill started racing Micro Midget 125 & 250 at places like Lemoore, Hanford and Tulare during the 1994 and 1995 seasons. This was the first lap of his race to the Indy 500, a lifetime dream. In mid-1995, Bryan stepped up to a Three Quarter Midget (TQ), racing for the first year and a half, only on dirt surfaces, however in 1997 he ran both dirt and pavement.

At the end of the 97 season Stanfill competed in the last three Full Midget races. In 1998, Bryan ran the full schedule finishing second in points to that year's champ, Rick Hendrix and was named Rookie of the Year. During the 1998 season, Bryan also ran three NARC Winged Sprint races at San Jose, Calistoga and Tulare. During the 1999 to 2002 racing seasons, Stanfill would spend time in Indiana, racing Midgets in whatever ride he could obtain and with several different Midget groups throughout the Midwest. In 2000, Bryan moved into the Rich Hart Midget and the Roy Bumgarner Sprinter on the USAC Western States circuit. At the end of the 2001 season, Bryan raced the Glenn Crossno Sprinter, which was his first non-wing sprint ride on dirt. One night at Perris for a twin show of Midgets and Sprints, PAS Infield Announcer, Chris Holt introduced Bryan to Ben Lancaster; Stanfill's name was on the side of Lancaster's sprinter.

Bryan was a baseball player in high school, but eventually shifted from the diamond to an oval. As a youngster, he attended many shows at Ascot and named his Sprint heroes as Dean Thompson and Brad Noffsinger, while Midget heroes were Sleepy Tripp, Jimmy Sills, Rick Hendrix and Jason Leffler. Stanfill named Ventura, Eagle, Bakersfield and Tulare as favorite tracks, preferring the small tracks, where the driver has to react, not just stand on the gas. As a youngster, Bryan was able to work with Charlie Leffler and Larry Howard, learning from these two successful car owners. Jimmy Sills and Jim Keene were two drivers Bryan recognized as being beneficial in his improvement. Stanfill gives special credit to his Mom and Dad, who have been supportive of his racing endeavors.

Bryan was born twenty-five years ago in Fullerton and moved to Bakersfield when in junior high school. Stanfill still refers to Bakersfield as his hometown, although now residing in Las Vegas. Bryan and his wife Robin, have a two-year old daughter, Taylor and operate B&R Graphics, which produces lettering and graphics for racecars and haulers, plus signs, banners and magnetic signs for retail needs. There are also logo and graphic designs as well as embroidery of promotional items. Additionally, Stanfill is a part-time Driving Instructor with the Richard Petty Driving School at Las Vegas and other speedways.

Bryan's mount for this year is an Avenger chassis fitted with a Pick's engine. The crew consists of Ben Lancaster, Greg Stanfill and Ray, who work on the car during the week and at the track. Sponsorship comes from Discount Air Tool Repair and Ingersoll-Rand. While Stanfill has suffered a couple of shunts and mechanical failures, he has also collected a couple of top ten-feature finishes and has qualified well enough to set in several Dashes so far.

Stanfill notes the advantage of having an understanding car owner and a good sponsor. The dream of running at Indy has lost some luster, but there are hopes of moving on to a Craftsman Truck ride in the future. Success on the pavement has been strength after growing up on dirt and not running asphalt until his TQ days.

Stop by the #14 car after the races and get acquainted with Bryan, Ben and the gang. You'll find a cordial atmosphere from this friendly group of people.
