Tommy Ricker just plain gets it

The best quote to come out of TD Banknorth 250 media day on Wednesday comes from Late Model rookie Tommy Ricker, one of the last racers out there who refuses to take himself too seriously.

The exercise is a simple one. Drivers in the room are asked who they think will win the 250, and they are not allowed to choose themselves. From the sounds of it, though, Ricker wouldn't have chosen himself if he could have.

"I'll pick Travis Adams, because that's what I'm hoping for," Ricker said. "Me, I'll probably just be sitting there drinking beer watching the race with all the rest of the people."

To steal a line from radio talk show host Jim Rome, "Rack Him."

and you get Tommy, Travis. He has pretty much always gotten it. Tracks need more Ricker's
