He has competed at 54 different racing facilities in 8 states during his career At the conclusion of the 2004 season Rick decided to retire his familiar #410 from full-time racing competition so that he and his wife Kathy could spend more time with their two grown children; Jerrod and Mandy as well as their four grandchildren. Even though Rick is no longer committed to competing 2-3 nights a week, he is still never very far from the rumble of race engines. In 2005 he and Kathy drove the push truck at Crystal Motor Speedway, and in 2006 and 2007 he drove Roger Wing’s (2004 MMSHoF inductee) back-up car Saturday nights at CMS, capturing the 2007 championship. Rick was born on September 9, 1956.
