Congratulations Ark!!! You know more about racing than I though!! lol
Yes, that is a pic of the late Richie Evans. He was a good friend of mine.
I"ll tell ya a quick story on how Richie was..

Him and I were standing in the pits one night at the track where I worked. It was after the racing had been completed for the night and we were pouring down a few cold ones. His phone rings, he talks for awhile then hangs up. He looks at me and smiled and said you won't believe who that was......It was Bill France Sr. wanting to know how Richie had done that night and when he was going to get out of the modifieds and go to Winston Cup full time.......Richie graciously declined his invitation, telling him he was happy with the Mods.
