Current License: NHRA Top Alcohol, Super Comp, Advanced ET/ Top Dragster
Ricky was born in Lexington, Missouri. He grew up working on old Mopar's and when old enough started racing them at local tracks. Ricky had always wanted to live in the fast lane. If he did not go to the track he would find different ways to make his car go faster.
In 2001 Ricky had to put his career dreams on hold when his second daughter was born with a disability making it hard for him to race because of her special needs. He said he would always be back in the driver's seat doing what he loved and that is race.
In July 2008 Ricky went to Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School and received his Top Alcohol License on his first attempt. Ricky is determined and driven to succeed in his career to be a Top Fuel driver. He is currently looking for sponsors for the 2012-2013 race season.
Career Goals
Ricky is striving for NHRA wins in divisional and national Top Dragster events. He's currently seeking a Top Alcohol driving position. He eventually would like to earn his license and compete in Top Fuel or Funny Car.
