I have also heard of him giving money to poor people on numerous occasions.
He's a great guy, my friend, and he is in my prayers during this difficult hour.

When Ronnie bought State Capitol Raceway, he tried running it with a State Trooper mentality (my way or the highway) but I saw the other side of him soon. At the first points race there a racer had a fatal heart attack. He went to the racer's wife and returned the entry fee and gave her another thousand dollars to help her out. That is just one of the many stories.

My prayers are with him and his family.
