Ricky Craven

Richard Allen "Ricky" Craven (born May 24, 1966) is an ESPN broadcaster who works as a NASCAR analyst for the network. Prior to his ESPN duties, he was a NASCAR driver who won in four different series—the K&N Pro Series, and the three national series. He occasionally served as a pit reporter when NASCAR aired on TBS in the mid-1990s. Craven is perhaps most well known for winning the 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400, beating Kurt Busch in the closest finish in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series history.

Racing career

Beginnings

Craven began racing at the age of 15 at Unity Raceway, winning twice as well as the Rookie of the Year award. The next year, he won 12 feature events and the track championship. In 1984 Craven raced at Wiscasset Raceway in the Late Model Division; in this year he won the track championship along with the Rookie of the Year title. After that, he began running in the American Canadian Tour, where he had rampant success. In 1986, he made his NASCAR debut at Oxford Plains Speedway in his own #12, finishing 25th after suffering engine failure. Four years later, he began running the Busch North Series, winning the Rookie of the Year award. In 1991, he was named the champion in that series, winning ten times in the #25 SpeeDee Oil Change & Tuneup Chevrolet, with two of those ten wins in "combination" races with the Busch Grand National Series, including the prestigious Oxford 250. In addition, he made his Winston Cup debut at Rockingham, starting and finishing 34th for Dick Moroso. He moved to the Busch Series full-time in 1992 in the #99 DuPont Chevy for Bill Papke, and once again was named Rookie of the Year. In 1993 and 1994, he finished runner-up to Steve Grissom and David Green, respectively, in the championship standings.

Craven

Craven is a local government district of North Yorkshire, England centred on the market town of Skipton. In 1974, Craven district was formed as the merger of Skipton urban district, Settle Rural District and most of Skipton Rural District, all in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It comprises the upper reaches of Airedale, Wharfedale, Ribblesdale, and includes most of the Aire Gap and Craven Basin.

The name Craven is much older than the modern district, and encompassed a larger area. This history is also reflected in the way the term is still commonly used, for example by the Church of England.

History

Craven has been the name of this district throughout recorded history. Its extent in the 11th century can be deduced from The Domesday Book but its boundaries now differ according to whether considering administration, taxation or religion.

Etymology

The derivation of the name Craven is uncertain, yet a Celtic origin related to the word for garlic (craf in Welsh) has been suggested as has the proto-Celtic *krab- suggesting scratched or scraped in some sense and even an alleged pre-Celtic word cravona, supposed to mean a stony region. In civic use the name Craven or Cravenshire had, before 1166, given way to Staincliffe. However the church Archdeaconry has kept its name as Craven throughout.

Famous quotes by Ricky Craven:

"It's going to be supported and it's going to be a big event. I expect we'll see the same finishes that we've seen here in the past."

"It's good for the sport because every sport has favorites and underdogs."

"You have to be careful because you could make this vanilla,"

"If a caution comes out late in the race, it's a free-for all. When the caution came out in the '70s, all it did was bring three or four cars together because 10th place was eight or nine laps down."

"It's a sport that will reward you for being selfish."

"It would be difficult for me to entertain thoughts of substituting for a year [on the Cup tour],"

"If there were a track on the circuit where I wished we raced more it would be New Hampshire. The fact that I have always liked the track as a competitor does not hurt either. I always felt I had a slight home court advantage over the other drivers because I have run so many laps there, and I use that to my advantage."

"This season has really been a tale of two seasons for me,"

"Then all of a sudden things started going wrong, ... It was a bit strange."

"I expected to be challenged coming into this season, ... We knew that this was a new series and there were some newer things, but we were familiar with some things. We expected to struggle early, but we came out of the gates very strong and we were very consistent. Then we just struggled, but we're still battling."

Baby, I'm beginning to understand
We've been stationary objects on a spinning planet
Gettin' set in our ways, taking time for granted
We best get gone 'fore it's too late
Scratch this itch for the interstate
Let's bon voyage on a big adventure
'Fore we're rockin' in our rockers and chewin' with dentures
We've done lost Elvis and Conway Twitty
Don't you think it's time to see rock city?
Yeah, rock city, yeah, see rock city, yeah, rock city, yeah
We can stop and go to church with your sweet Aunt Ima
Have supper at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo Diner
We'll be talkin' 'bout this trip, when we're 2 old timers
Got some sights to see and we're gonna see 'em
Got a real bad case of Carpe' Diem
Let's bon voyage on a big adventure
'Fore we're rockin' in our rockers and chewin' with dentures
We've done lost Elvis and Conway Twitty
Don't you think it's time to see rock city?
Yeah, rock city, yeah, see rock city, yeah, rock city, yeah
Yeah, rock city
Yeah, see rock city
Yeah, rock city, yeah
Let's bon voyage on a big adventure
'Fore we're rockin' in our rockers and chewin' with dentures
We've done lost Elvis and Conway Twitty
Don't you think it's time to see rock city?
