Ronnie ran "Duke Racing 'Glides" and "Duke Performance". He was a multi time Super Gas champion at Music City Raceway, as well as a tough competitor in Division 2 and 3 for many years.

Ronnie will surely be missed by many as I too was a friend and fellow racer.
As we both have Beretta's.
In Valdosta we both lost our doors during a run, his the passenger and I the drivers door, I remember he came over to offer me condolences on my drivers door laying there in pieces and he was eyeballing my passenger door. We joked about it.
Godspeed my good friend you will always be remembered as a Guy I didn't want to stage up against.
