Rockingham Speedway's Former Track Manager of 30+ Years Has Crazy NASCAR History Stories
What happens here
Ronnie recounts a memorable story involving Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace. After a race in Daytona where Earnhardt took out Wallace, the next race at Rockingham saw Earnhardt ask Ronnie for 'rags.' Earnhardt then used the rags to stuff Rusty Wallace's motorhome sewer line, causing it to flood when Rusty took a shower. Rusty emerged furious, looking for a fight. Ronnie also speaks about how the track's removal from the Cup Series schedule significantly impacted his life, forcing him into early retirement. He reflects on how the racing industry became driven by money rather than the fans.
Goal: Share a notorious prank story and reflect on the personal impact of track changes.
