First saw Ricky at Lincoln, IL in 2006. I had heard/read about him before, but that day he was the show! (I had ran out of the little talent I had trying to run up top with the big boys in the heat that day, flipping/destroying my dad's old Challenger coil car over the turn, while veteran Steve Knepper had got out of shape on the bottom and did an equally impressive tumble down low. I got real close to working a deal to start & park Ricky's backup car in the B. I think it was Ricky's dad who I was talking with. Never knew for sure).

Also, always remember seeing Ricky taking the TSR car for a ride at Dodge Co Fairgrounds (WI); throwing the steering wheel out as it landed, jumping up and flipping the car back up on four wheels before the dust settled!
