Rich Finishes 4th in First Goodyear Race of the Year
Samsula, FL (March 15, 2008) Rich and Bobby worked hard for the opening race at New Smyrna Speedway for the Goodyear Challenge Late Model 100. And the hard work paid off with Rich finishing fourth in the race.

Rich ran a good race, stayed out of trouble, and showed true sportsmanship at the end of the race as he and Jessica Murphy battled for third. Rich could get his nose under her but backed off each time so as not to wreck Murphy. Rich showed it was better to finish fourth than wreck a fellow racer.

Rich will go next to Columbia Motorsports Park for race 2 of the Goodyear Challenge Series on April 5.
