Dick was one of the true short track racers who was always entertaining. I had the opportunity to watch him run a lot with the old American Speed Association in it's infancy. Whe the #99 was in the pits, the boys all knew that they would have their hands full that day.

After his NASCAR days many folks didn't know that he was one of the test drivers of IROC. He was certainly one of a kind and his former crew chief in ASA, Vic Getsleff (sp?) was also quite the character. Dick certainly knew how to enjoy life and was always the life of the party. RIP!
