Ric definitely got a lot of girls, good to know he’s a nice guy.
One thing about Ric that a lot of people forget is that Ric made himself a brand name a long time before Dale Earnhardt did. I think it’s part of what inspired Dale to market himself the way he did. They knew each other, couldn’t help it because of proximity, but they seemed to be chummy.
I knew the Earnhardts better than Ric. I spent way more time at the speedway, than at wrestling matches. Mainly saw Ric around town. In those days Charlotte wasn’t a big city. Only about 120,000 pop. It’s now approaching 4 million, from what I understand.
