What is Ricky Johnson the motocross champ doing on USAC's board?

who cares its over for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duke you are always such a ray of sunshine I bet they are around longer than you are

My guess would be because Rick is the owner of the off road truck series that usac is involved with.

Ricky is currently involved in the Off Road truck racing scene and the Traxxas TORC Truck Series which falls under USAC sanction.

My understanding is Ricky is the owner or co-owner of TORC (The Off Road Championship) series which USAC sanctions (See TORC link on the USAC website). Seems TORC has a lot of sponsor money behind it which may have something to do with USAC and Ricky working together or so I have heard.

And, TORC is on ESPN2 and ABC...maybe they can help with a TV package?

Thanks guys that makes much more sense than Duke's non-answer

Did the USAC Board consult with Spridge before they appointed this guy? Just wonderin'.
