By S.M.A.S.H — April 19, 2026 The Driver Some drivers race on instinct. Others race on control. Kyzer Riddell looks like the second kind. He is not trying to win the race in the first move. He is not overcommitting to every opening. He is looking for timing, discipline, and the right chance to strike. And when you ask him directly how he drives, he says it plainly: “I would say my driving style is a mix of aggressive and patient trying only to make calculated moves at the ri
