 Richard Russell
The only surprise to Richard Russell earning his living in NASCAR is that it took as long as it did. Richard’s father Ronnie has been a fixture in the NASCAR garage as long as anyone. Richard, 26, was always exposed to the sport, but waited until he was 23 to join the traveling roadshow. Richard had the unique opportunity to come to work at Team Rensi Motorsports where his father serves as Team President.
Once he entered the sport, he attacked it with a commitment of giving 100% each and every day of the week. As a mechanic and jackman, Richard helps Team Rensi Motorsports in many different ways. His easy going personality allows him to be a favorite of all of his fellow employees.
