Rick's
first stock car race was at Winchester Speedway in the ASA in 1979, but
then he advanced through the levels of street stocks, sportsman and late
models. He was runner-up in the street stock class at Winchester
Speedway and has produced over 40 victories. Rick has been a regular in
the Sunoco Super Series since 1997 and finished seventh in 1997
standings with six top-ten finishes. In 2001, he was ninth in standings
with eight top-ten finishes. Rick made 12 starts in 2002, finishing 19th
in the standings with three top-10 finishes.
This driver is one of the original stars
of the CRA Series who has been one of its biggest supporters. Well it
all finally paid off in 2005. He is no longer the driver with the most
career starts without a victory, thanks to his popular win at Anderson
this year. He’s been at the forefront of developing the low cost
alternative engine option, and his R&D work on the new Ford at the
beginning of the year took its toll. But he never wavered and never gave
up and was rewarded with another top 10 finish in the final point
standings. During the season he posted 3 top 5 qualifying efforts, 1 Win
and 6 top 10 finishes. TAKING 10TH PLACE HONORS in 2005.
