Ron's Bio

Howdy, my name is Ron Ripple and with out a doubt NASCAR’s number one fan. I was born and raised in a small town in South Carolina with a population of about 459. It’s basically a town where everyone knows everyone’s business and you can’t walk down to the local grocery store without someone saying your name. Growing up I’ve always wanted to get out of this place and move to the big city. I’ve only had one passion in my life and that passion was NASCAR. It was the only exciting thing in my life, and on every Sunday starting in February and ending in November, you could find me at the local bar drinking a beer watching my boys race for the checkered flag.

When I finally got out of this small town in South Carolina, I decided that I needed to move closer to Darlington so that I could see a race in person. Ever since then I’ve been traveling the circuit and have yet to miss a race. Just ask any of the driver’s who Ron Ripple is and they’ll all admit that they’ve thrown down a Bud Lite or two with me. I’ve met some great people here, and I love the racing. So next time you go to a race make sure you look for me, I’ll probably be down in the infield with a brewski in my hand, and an eye on the track.

Make sure you keep checking back on my site where I’ll be discussing NASCAR’s latest and greatest events. Hell, I might even do some interviews with some of your favorite racers. Thanks for visiting my website and if you have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact me. Also if you have any insider information on the teams or racer’s make sure you e-mail me. I just reckon I love drama.

E-mail me at Ron@ronripple.com and visit my site at www.RonRipple.com

Check out my latest story:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/117149-mark-martin-already-a-champion

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.

Ron-
Alright, so we here at the NASCAR page are getting our own roundtable that might make it to foxsports. I'm going to be the writer, but I need you and everyone else to help give your opinons.
So, talk about the new car and after it's first year has it done its job, can it be changed. Talk about NASCAR wanting to go back to it's roots, if they accomplished that. Also about wanting drivers to show more personalities...And anything else that you can think of that needs to be talked about.
Please try and do it from an objective viewpoint and not a fans...
Post your responses in my bulletin board BY TODAY. I need to get the article up by tonight!!!!!!!!
And please, please help by spreading this around.

Thanks

Hey Ron,

You are welcome. I agree with you on the fact that Kyle Busch tried to perform a "Triple Crown" of NASCAR this weekend. I think he is trying to do too much and may possibly lose his chances at the lead. He lost over 100 points to Jeff Burton this weekend..cutting his lead down to 12 points.

Hey Ron,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Ron!

Zander
