Ross

I believe the answer is:

racer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'speedy winner in a famous' is the first definition.
I know that 'speedy' relates to this answer.

'car' is the second definition.
(racer is a kind of car)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for racer that I've seen before include "Fast competitive car or animal" , "one in a hurry" , "Runner" , "Fast driver" , "Speedway competitor, perhaps" .)
