He is the uncle of actor [[Skeet Ulrich]] and former [[NASCAR]] [[Busch Series]] driver [[Jason Rudd]]. He retired in 2007 with 23 career wins; twenty were done in a span from 1983 to 1998, where he won at least one race in sixteen consecutive seasons, a mark only surpassed by three other drivers.<ref>https://www.nascar.com/gallery/all-time-wins-auto-club-speedway/</ref> He was named the 2006 Virginian of the Year and was inducted into the [[Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and Museum\|Virginia Sports Hall of Fame]] in 2007.

He then ran an additional three races for Champion, his best finish being a 10th at [[Bristol Motor Speedway]]. He drove another four races in [[1976 in NASCAR\|1976]] for his father, posting another tenth place finish at the [[Firecracker 400]]. He went full-time in [[1977 in NASCAR\|1977]], again driving the No. 22 for his [[father]]. He had ten top-ten finishes and was named Rookie of the Year. Rudd ran part-time the following season. Despite the abbreviated schedule, he earned four top-tens and finished 31st in points. In [[1979 in NASCAR\|1979]], he signed with [[Junie Donlavey]] to pilot the No. 90 Truxmore car, garnering four top-fives and a ninth place finish in the final points standings. '''Ricky Rudd''' (born [[September 12]], [[1956]] in [[Chesapeake, Virginia]]) was a [[NASCAR]] race car driver. He last drove the #21 car sponsored by [[Motorcraft]] and the [[United States Air Force]]. He did not return to Donlavey in 1980, and started out in a part-time run for his dad and [[D. K. Ulrich]]. He finished season in the No. 7 [[Sanyo]] car for Nelson Malloch, for whom he had one tenth place finish. Rudd is the "Ironman" of NASCAR, holding the record for most consecutive starts in NASCAR racing. At his retirement, Rudd had made 788 consecutive starts. He is also remembered as one of the "Tide ride" drivers as well as for winning a race in sixteen consecutive seasons (1983 to 1998). Rudd had a total of 23 wins, 194 top 5's, and 373 top 10's. On November 8, 2005, Rudd announced his intention to take a break from racing effective at the end of 2005 season. Ricky Rudd was named the 2006 "Virginian of the Year." == ~~Trivia~~ =1981–1987=== [[File:Richard Childress Racing Museum October 2022 42 (Ricky Rudd's 1983 Riverside International Raceway-winning No. 3 Piedmont Airlines Chevrolet Monte Carlo).jpg\|thumb\|left\|Ricky Rudd's 1983 Riverside International Raceway-winning No. 3 Piedmont Airlines Chevrolet Monte Carlo]] Ricky was nicknamed "[[Rooster]]" in his early years for not taking any abuse from anyone, including the late Dale Earnhardt and current driver Kevin Harvick. [[File:RickyRudd15NASCAR1984.jpg\|thumb\|left\|Rudd in 1984]] Rudd began racing at the age of 19, in 2003 he was the most active full-time driver. In 1981, Rudd signed with [[DiGard Motorsports]] to drive the No. 88 car. Although he had no victories, he won his first three pole positions, and began his lengthy streak of consecutive race starts. In 1982, Rudd stepped into the No. 3 Pontiac for [[Richard Childress Racing]]. Rudd had six top-fives but dropped down to ninth in the points standings. In the [[1983 Daytona 500]], Rudd became the youngest pole winner in Daytona 500 history at the age of 26 and would hold that record until [[2014 Daytona 500\|2014]] when it was broken by a 23-year-old [[Austin Dillon]]. He was able to get his first two career wins in 1983 at Riverside and Martinsville respectively, but he again finished ninth in points. He also ran the only three Busch Series races of his career that season, winning in his debut event at Dover Downs. Ricky Rudd was the final driver of the number "28" Texaco Havoline Ford Taurus, after Rudd left Robert Yates, Yates assigned 38 to Elliott Sadler and Dale Jarrett kept 88 leaving 28 off the track for the first time in 15 years. Rudd's first race car was owned by his uncle and family friend Bill Champion. Rudd never raced a car at any level of motorsports until he made his debut at North Carolina Speedway in 1975 in a car number 90 owned by former racer Bill Champion. Actor [[Skeet Ulrich ]] is the son of former driver [[D.K. Ulrich]] and is Ricky Rudd's nephew. During the 1989 [[Holly Farms 400]] at [[North Wilkesboro Speedway]], Rudd attempted to pass the late Dale Earnhardt low in the first turn of the last lap of the race and Rudd ended up wrecking both cars. Both drivers were able to finish 9th and 10th. After the race, crew members of both teams fought on pit road. Earnhardt was furious at Rudd and said he should be suspended for the rest of the season. However, Rudd held his tongue and did not say any bad blood toward Earnhardt of the incident. Ricky Rudd was the first driver of [[Richard Childress Racing]] before Dale Earnhardt became the driver. Rudd won Childress' first race as an owner at the old [[Riverside International Raceway\|Riverside]] road course in California. At [[Richmond International Raceway]], while racing with [[Kevin Harvick]], the two made contact sending Harvick into the wall. Harvick later confronted Rudd on pit road and Harvick was placed on probation. Rudd is the ONLY owner/driver to win the [[Brickyard 400]]. He was inducted into the Virginia Motor Sports Hall Of Fame. He was Virginia Sportsman of the Year in 1999. Ricky Rudd won the 1999 [[NAPA Autocare 500]] on an extremely hot day, and nearly collapsed in Victory Lane and suffered second degree burns and was treated in victory lane. The win was his 16th year with at least one win in the Nextel Cup series, but he would not win the following season. Rudd's team was named [[Rudd Performance Motorsports]]. In [[1984 in NASCAR\|1984]], Rudd and [[Dale Earnhardt]] swapped rides, with Rudd moving over to the No. 15 [[Ford Thunderbird\|Ford]] for [[Bud Moore Engineering\|Bud Moore]]. The move came after Earnhardt signed with Childress, leaving Rudd disappointed and out of a ride until he drove for Moore.<ref name="DJD" /> Rudd was involved in a horrific crash in the [[Advance Auto Parts Clash\|Busch Clash]] at [[Daytona International Speedway\|Daytona]], in which his car went airborne (in a crash that [[Ned Jarrett]] described as something like a "bucking horse") before suffering a concussion and a torn cartilage in his rib cage. His eyes were swollen so badly he taped his eyes open to be able to race in the [[1984 Daytona 500\|Daytona 500]], as well as a flak jacket for his rib injury. After learning of this long after the fact, NASCAR instituted the policy of examining all drivers involved in wrecks to ensure that they will be able to race safely the next week.<ref name="Injuries">{{cite web \|url=https://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/charlotte-rudd-ready-for-iron-man-record/93299/ \|title=Charlotte: Rudd ready for "Iron Man" record \|website=[[Motorsport Network]] \|date=May 23, 2002 \|access-date=February 1, 2019}}</ref> He won his first race for this team in only his second start at Richmond and improved to seventh in points. He moved up one spot in points in the following season, and then a career-best fifth place finish in 1986. Despite an additional two victories in [[1987 in NASCAR\|1987]], Rudd left Moore Engineering at the end of the season. ===1988–1993=== ~~[[tl:Ricky Rudd]]~~ [[Image:RickyRudd26racecar1989.jpg\|thumb\|right\|1989 No. 26 Buick Regal]] Rudd joined [[King Racing]] beginning in [[1988 in NASCAR\|1988]] in the No. 26 [[Buick Regal]] owned by drag racing legend [[Kenny Bernstein]]. He struggled with engine failures all season long and finished eleventh in the point standings, his worst points finish in eight years. In addition, Rudd suffered a knee injury in a crash at [[1988 The Winston\|The Winston]].<ref name="Injuries"/> At North Wilkesboro, Rudd was fined $10,000 for actions detrimental to stock car racing after spinning [[Dale Earnhardt]] late in the race.<ref name="DJD" /> After his only win of [[1989 in NASCAR\|1989]], which came at the inaugural Sears Point event, Rudd departed the operation. He tangled with Earnhardt again at North Wilkesboro, as a last-lap altercation while fighting for the lead handed the win to [[Geoff Bodine]].<ref name="DJD" /> In 1990, Rudd signed with [[Hendrick Motorsports]] to drive the No. 5 [[Chevrolet Lumina]]. He was able to win [[The Bud at the Glen]] and finished seventh in the point standings. However, he was involved in a fatal [[pit stop\|pit road]] accident in the season-finale [[Atlanta Journal 500]], in which he spun into [[Bill Elliott]]'s pit and accidentally crushed Elliott's tire changer Mike Rich, who died hours later in surgery.<ref>{{cite news \|last=Glick \|first=Chav \|date=November 19, 1990 \|title=Pit Accident Claims Life in Atlanta \|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-11-19-sp-3623-story.html \|work=Los Angeles Times \|___location=Los Angeles}}</ref> That fatal incident caused NASCAR to implement pit road speed limits at every NASCAR track, for all of the series. In [[1991 in NASCAR\|1991]], Rudd won his only race of the year at [[Darlington Raceway]]. Later in the year at Sonoma, Rudd was the center of controversy in one of the most bizarre finishes in NASCAR. Rudd started on pole at the race, and was offered a bonus paycheck with the winning money if he won the race. Rudd took the second place position with three laps left, and when the white flag was waved Rudd tapped [[Davey Allison]] to take the lead. When Rudd came back around to the finish line he waved to his pit crew but was shown a black flag for the tap. His win was taken away and given to Allison who refired to end up in second place. Rudd ended up in second place; Rick Hendrick, and crew chief Waddell Wilson unsuccessfully tried to appeal the penalties. ~~== Car History ==~~ ~~{\| border="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;"~~ He finished the year a career-best second place finish in points. The following season, he won the [[Peak Antifreeze 500]], but dropped to seventh in points. After finishing another three spots lower in points in [[1993 in NASCAR\|1993]], he left Hendrick to start his own racing corporation Rudd Performance Motorsports. ~~!style="background: #f9f9f9;"\| Year(s)~~ ~~!style="background: #f9f9f9;"\| Car Number~~ ===1994–1999=== ~~!style="background: #f9f9f9;"\| Sponsor~~ [[File:1994Brickyard400RickyRudd.jpg\|thumb\|Rudd at [[1994 Brickyard 400]].]] ~~!style="background: #f9f9f9;"\| Owner~~ [[Image:RickyRudd1997Pocono.jpg\|thumb\|right\|1997 Tide-sponsored racecar at Pocono]] [[Image:Ricky Rudd Pocono June 98.jpeg\|thumb\|left\|Ricky Rudd walks down pit road, before qualifying at Pocono Raceway 1998]] Rudd took Tide and formed his own race team in 1994, Rudd Performance Motorsports, and drove the No. 10 [[Ford Thunderbird]] that season. His first win as an owner/driver came at [[New Hampshire International Speedway]], which led to a fifth-place points finish. [[1995 in NASCAR\|1995]] saw his consecutive winning streak almost end before he won the [[Dura Lube 500]] at Phoenix, the second-to-last race of the season. He had another near miss in [[1996 in NASCAR\|1996]], but won late in the year at [[North Carolina Speedway]]. In [[1997 in NASCAR\|1997]], Rudd had two wins, one in the [[Brickyard 400]] and the other at [[Dover International Speedway]], making this his highest win total since 1987, but he dropped to seventeenth in the points standings, making this the first time he finished outside of the top-ten in nine years. His only win in [[1998 in NASCAR\|1998]] came at [[Martinsville Speedway]], dealing with high air temperatures and a faulty cooling system. As a result, Rudd suffered burns and blisters over most of his body, and gave his victory lane interview lying on the ground breathing from an oxygen mask. This was the last win of his consecutive victory streak, as he struggled with mechanical failures and wrecks throughout the season. With sixteen winning seasons in a row, he nonetheless broke a new record that still stands today, though [[Jimmie Johnson]] managed to tie it in [[2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series\|2017]]. The following year, Rudd failed to win a race, snapping a sixteen-season streak with at least one victory.<ref>{{cite news\|last=Shapiro\|first=Mark\|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2001/07/13/the-field-of-hopefuls/\|title=The field of hopefuls\|newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]]\|date=July 13, 2001\|access-date=May 4, 2014}}</ref> When Tide left his team, Rudd chose to liquidate his equipment and close his team. ===2000–2005=== After many rumors and speculation, Rudd was hired to pilot the No. 28 [[Texaco]]/[[Havoline]] [[Ford Taurus]] for [[Yates Racing\|Robert Yates Racing]] in [[2000 NASCAR Winston Cup Series\|2000]]. Although he still did not win any races that season, he did have two poles and moved to fifth in the points standings, a 26-spot improvement over the previous season. In [[2001 NASCAR Winston Cup Series\|2001]], Rudd got his first win in three years at [[Pocono Organics CBD 325\|Pocono]], followed by another win at [[Federated Auto Parts 400\|Richmond]] late in the season. He also matched a career-high fourteen top-five finishes. Rudd scored his final win at [[2002 Dodge/Save Mart 350\|Sonoma]] in [[2002 NASCAR Winston Cup Series\|2002]], but dropped to tenth in points. Following the [[2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 400\|fall Richmond race]], Rudd had a heated argument with RYR engine specialist Larry Lackey on pit road, with Lackey punching Rudd in the face and Rudd retaliating with a water bottle. Rudd was fined {{USD}}5,000 and placed on probation while Lackey was fined {{USD}}10,000 before resigning from his position at RYR.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.espn.com/rpm/wc/2002/0911/1430471.html \|title=Fists fly in Rudd's final days at RYR \|publisher=[[ESPN]] \|date=September 11, 2002 \|access-date=May 24, 2022}}</ref> Rudd left RYR at the end of the 2002 season. In [[2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series\|2003]], Rudd signed to drive the No. 21 Ford for [[Wood Brothers Racing]], replacing [[Elliott Sadler]], who took over Rudd's seat at RYR. Rudd scored four top-fives and a 23rd place finish in points that year. The [[2004 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series\|following year]], he won his final career pole at [[2004 Aaron's 499\|Talladega]], but fell a spot in the standings. He was able to recover to earn nine top-tens in [[2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series\|2005]] and improved to 21st in points. The closest he came to winning a race between 2003 and 2005 was at [[2005 Dodge/Save Mart 350\|Sonoma]] in 2005, when he led several laps and finished 2nd to [[Tony Stewart]] after being passed by him with nine laps to go. At the end of the 2005 season, Rudd left the No. 21 team and announced he would "take a break from racing", although he was not retiring. At the time he was known as NASCAR's "''ironman''", or record holder for most consecutive starts, ending at 788,<ref>{{Cite magazine \|url=https://autoweek.com/article/car-news/ironman-after-788-straight-nascar-starts-ricky-rudd-calls-it-career-sort \|title = Ironman: After 788 straight NASCAR starts, Ricky Rudd calls it a career-sort of \|magazine=[[Autoweek]] \|date = January 2006}}</ref> and holding the record until it was surpassed by [[Jeff Gordon]] in 2015.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.hendrickmotorsports.com/news/articles/58541/jeff-gordon-nascars-new-ironman \|title=Jeff Gordon, NASCAR's new Ironman \|first=Gray \|last=Caldwell \|publisher=[[Hendrick Motorsports]] \|date=September 27, 2015 \|access-date=May 24, 2022}}</ref> ===2006–2007=== [[Image:RickyRuddTexas2007.jpg\|thumb\|right\|2007 car]] Rudd spent most of [[2006 in NASCAR\|2006]] out of racing, racing only at Dover, where he filled in for an ailing [[Tony Stewart]]. He made an appearance to meet and sign autographs for fans at the 2006 Carl Casper's Custom Auto Show at [[Freedom Hall]] in [[Louisville, Kentucky]] and meanwhile, he also raced in a karting event called the RoboPong 200 in [[Newcastle, Indiana]] in a race full of IndyCar stars, and eventually etching his name on the [[Dan Wheldon]] Cup, the trophy that since 2012 has become that event's signature trophy. Late in the season, his return to Yates was announced, to drive the No. 88 Ford full-time. His best finish since his return to the sport was seventh in the [[Coca-Cola 600]]. Since he missed the [[Chevy Rock & Roll 400]], it was the first time in his career where he did not make a start due to an injury. [[Kenny Wallace]] drove the No. 88 on an interim basis until Rudd healed, except at [[Talladega Superspeedway\|Talladega]], where [[Mike Wallace (racing driver)\|Mike Wallace]] drove the car. Rudd made his return at Charlotte, where he finished eleventh. He finished his career with a 21st place finish at the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami. ==After racing== After the 2007 season, and a 32-year career, Rudd resides at his home in [[Cornelius, North Carolina]]. In 2007, Rudd was inducted into the 2007 Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and in 2010, he was selected to the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame that honors those who have contributed to sports in southeastern Virginia.
