Source-derived summary

Stefan "Bear" Rzesnowiecky III (May 10, 1992 – November 28, 2023) was an American professional stock car racing driver who last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 46 Ford for Lowden Jackson Motorsports.

Racing career

From 2006 to 2007, Rzesnowiecky would compete in the ASA Truck Series, running only one race at Lucas Oil I-10 Speedway, where he would finish 8th, before running multiple races the following year, winning one race at Havasu 95 Speedway. He would then run select one-off events in the SRL Spears Southwest Tour Series between 2008 and 2010, winning in his first start at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring in 2008.

In 2011, Rzesnowiecky would run four events in the series, achieving a season best finish of 14th at All American Speedway. He would also make his debut in the Lucas Oil Modified Series, running in three events with a best finish of seventh at Irwindale Speedway. It was also during this year that he would make his ARCA Racing Series at Chicagoland Speedway driving the No. 96 Dodge for the Richard Petty Driving Experience. He had originally received that ride as a reward for winning the third annual Richard Petty's Driver Search in December of the previous year. He would start and finish eleventh despite suffering a spin late in the race.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “american professional stock car racing driver” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q119459105. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1992, 2023, 2006 and 2007.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
