Richard's Bio

I'm from Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm 17 years old.

I'm currently in high school, 11th grade, hoping to become a journalist in NASCAR or any other type of motorsport someday.

I'm bilingual, I live in a french-speaking village in Canada.

I am a huge racing fan, mostly NASCAR but I do follow Formula 1 and Indycars like it was a religion. I'm a huge fan of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and late model racing on local short tracks.

I also love hockey. I'm a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan. I play with my high school hockey team, right wing on the third line. I'm not that good but I have fun anyway.

I have a relaxed personality I guess. I'm always quiet, yet I love to share my opinion and do my best to prove others wrong. Though I do love parties and hanging out with my friends, I'm not the type of person you would call the "life of the party".

During the summer, I have a part time job at a local pizza place, called Wabo's Pizza. I work as a busboy, such as cleaning tables, cleaning the dishes, working the cash and helping out the waitresses.

One of my all time favourite thing to do is going up in the mountains with my snowmobile or ATV, always have a blast! I also live next to a beach so that's another one of my hobbies during the summer time. I also love riding in my cousin's new Mustang!

Hey Richard,

Thanks for the note on your J.R. article, you did a excellent job on it and enjoyed reading it. I did edit it to add the tag for J.R. and the Camping World Truck Series. Appreciate the contribution to the Truck page, if you haven't yet take a minute to join the community and hope you'll keep contributing when you can. It'll be exciting watching, J.R. develop into a future Cup star and got a feeling you might just see a Canadian Cup race added to the schedule.

Take Care,

Mike

Richard,

OK, so I'm the new Community Leader for the Nationwide Series — the newest community here on B/R... and I'd like to formally invite you to join the community and help me make it grow.

http://bleacherreport.com/nationwide-series

Whether you want to write, comment or do both, I'd like to have you as a member of the community to give the series some well deserved attention.

This season looks to be another wild one as several Cup regulars crash the part while the likes of Brad Keselowski and Jason Keller try and keep the big boys from bullying them.

So come join me in the Nationwide Series Community — and don't forget to tag any Nationwide Stories with the appropriate tag now!

Richard,

Do you play Fantasy Racing? If so, me and Adam are trying to get a group of people together for a Bleacher Report Members only league.

I've created one on FoxSports.com called Bleacher Report Members, the password is bleacher01 if you are interested in joining. If so, see-ya there! And feel free to spread the word!

Check out my latest story:

It's a feature I wrote on Martin on how even though he lacks the championship trophy, he is still a champion of NASCAR.

Thanks.

Its the Swift FN09/017.n - The new car being deployed for the Japanese Formula Nippon championship next season. Naturally-aspirated V8 with no airbox(unlike past FN cars from Lola and G-Force which DID have airboxes), and high levels of grip. Early testing indications are that it will be faster around a track than next year's F1 cars.

The Formula Nippon V8s are what naturally-aspirated open-wheel engines SHOULD sound like. Not the Indy V8 drone(even though the engines are identical to IRL-spec, just with a higher rev limit), and not as high-pitched as F1.

Search for "Formula Nippon" on Youtube and sort by Date Added and you'll find some testing videos of the new car.
