Five Questions With Robert Richardson Jr

[media-credit id=72 align=”alignright” width=”106″][/media-credit]To start off my Summer Series, I’ve had the honor to interview the Nationwide Series driver sitting 32nd in points, driver of the No. 23 R3 Motorsports North Texas Pipe Chevrolet, Robert Richardson Jr.

Q: Imagine yourself not as a driver but as a race fan, if you were to do a ride along with any driver, other than yourself, who would you chose, which track and why?

Richardson Jr: I’ve never really thought of that…I’d say either a road course with Marcos Ambrose or Charlotte with Jimmie Johnson because they are both really fast at those places.

Q: If you could have a track named after you, what kind of track would it be and where would it be located?

Richardson Jr: I’d have a short Track in the hill country of Texas.

Q: What is your most memorable race?

Richardson Jr: My first win in a super late model at Texas Motor Speedway and my first start in the Daytona 500

Q: Who would you consider to be NASCAR’s bad boy?

Richardson Jr: The Busch Brothers or Harvick

Q: Golden boy?

Richardson Jr: Jimmie Johnson and Jamie McMurray

Q: What advice would you give someone who wanted to be a race car driver?

Richardson Jr: Have deep pockets (laughs)  racing is a lot of fun and can be rewarding but with the economy the way it is and how much parts and equipment costs to build and repair cars nowadays is getting more and more expensive. So you see a lot of people saving money as much as they can to survive a full season in NASCAR unless you have a full time sponsor, then it’s all good (laughs)
