Ricky Hendrick's 5th place finish at Nashville Speedway

[@lukestang_5924]

Last time I was this early, a truck race had as many fans there as Cup races these days.
Wait, I wasn't alive then... RIP

[@lukestang_5924]

Matt Reed I care about racing and since this is a motorsport, less fans is a sign that the racing is in decline, which it is

[@zachcarlson6316]

I'll always remember back in 2004 when Hendrick had their plane crash while Jimmie won at Martinsville. And then the next weekend Jimmie went out and won at Atlanta too and all the Hendrick drivers gathered in victory lane to pay tribute to Ricky. Emotional memories. Proud to say I'm a Hendrick fan from then forward.

He said Stefan Marlin, Justin Labonte and Ricky Hendrick was gonna be the future of NASCAR yet they all quit racing.

[@jasonhiggins5926]

You do know Ricky did not quit nascar. He died in a plane crash. Big difference there.

Jason Higgins Ricky retired from racing after his 2002 wreck at Las Vegas & went into the 2003 Busch Series Season as a team owner, signing on Brian Vickers, the soon to be 2003 Busch Series Champion

[@lukestang_5924]

He sounds so much like Rick

[@elijahwerling4668]

RIP Ricky Hendrick. He could have been a NASCAR Cup Series championship if he was around longer...

[@timrogers9636]

Elijah Werling yeah but he quit racing before he died for a management position at Hendrick Motorsports

[@elijahwerling4668]

Tim Rogers yeah

Another Johnson or just a Paul Menard, no body will ever know...
