Hellrider substitute

my friend wants to make a mono red burn aggro deck based around Young Pyromancer . I told him to add Hellrider . He liked what it did, but he said that he didn't want any devils in the deck. Are there any cards with similar effects.
Also, the deck isn't for competitive use, so any card will work. Budget cards are preferred, though. Thanks!
how about Raid Bombardment if he isn't going for standard? It literally does the exact same thing, just a bit more restrictive,

If he's running little things like Rakdos Cackler and other unleash cards like Gore-House Chainwalker , Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch can get the job done nicely as well. But Ogre Battledriver is also insane.

Ogre Battledriver is almost necessary for any Young Pyromancer deck. However, Rubblebelt Raiders has some pretty hilarious synergy with both cards.

I'm not sure why your friend doesn't want devils. There are exactly zero anti-devil cards in Magic.
It sounds like he can use Ogre Battledriver in place of the Hellrider . If he's running Young Pyromancer , he'll likely be running enough instants/sorceries to trigger it.
