Hi! My name is Gary Ridgeway (G_ridge). I am 35 years old and have lived in Wabash, Indiana my entire live. I have been married for 10 wonderful years to my wife, Teresa. We were blessed with our 5-year-old daughter, Makayla. I work as a salesman for Wabash Portable Equipment dealing in the outdoor power equipment industry.
I went to my first Nascar race at Rockingham and got hooked. Since then I have been to Darlingtion, Charlotte, Indianapolis, and go every year to Michigan in the fall. I started routing for Dale, Jr. when he was in the Busch Series and have followed him since.
I started racing on computers when I borrowed my nephew’s NASCAR 2 and played it on the computer at work. I was able to finally buy a computer and got a Microsoft sidewinder steering wheel and Nascar 3. I did some online racing, but got frustrated with all the things that go on in pick up races. Then Nascar 4 came out and one Saturday evening I came across Christian Racing during a Thunderstock race and found the best online racing league there is.
Some of my other hobbies besides racing are deer and black bear hunting and any other thing my wife will let me go and hunt J. Also, being from Indiana, I naturally have to love to play basketball and I do that every Thursday night at our church, Calvary Baptist Church.
