I love Ricky! One of the greatest of all time!!!!

Ricky is one of the good ole boys , I have liked him for a very long time. hope he goes out a winner, when he retires.

Ricky Rudd has proven on the track for over 27 years that he is one of the best in car control and is tough as nails. How many Nascar (or any other form of auto racing) drivers can you say had to tape their swollen eyes open so they could see to race. Off the track, he is more dedicated to his fans than most are aware of. I can say that I personally experienced this dedication more than once with Ricky and he truly has affected my life because of these experiences. His fans are dedicated to him for his competative drive, his character on and off the track and his dedication to his wife and son. The joy he has given his true fans just by being Ricky Rudd makes him a champion in countless ways. He will prove to be tough competition this year in the chase for the cup! RUDDFAN4EVR

There's not too many guys out there in the Cup circuit that has been racing since 1975 and still can be a strong contender or a Top 10 finisher at the end of every season 27 years later, let alone not miss a race since 1981, that's tough!!!
