Ricky Smith interview
Many historical pictures of his racing cars.

A man who would find a way to win, Rickie Smith traveled the long, hard path to being a drag racing legend. TEN championships prove he's more than reached the pinnacle of success.

Smith, who was born and raised in King, NC., started his driving career behind the wheel of a bulldozer while drag racing on the side. He is credited with killing a class because of his success, and later becoming one of the fiercest gameplayers on the starting line.

In this episode of Legends: The Series, Smith opens up about life, family and the spirit of refusing to lose. He also talks about the curse of the competitive nature which sometimes took him into areas he shouldn't have been. An emotional video; you will walk away feeling you have walked into the heart of a legend.
