Shout out to, "the gremlin" Ryan Unzicker this year. Truley this fan's racer of the year. Ryan is a pretty cool and calm driver and really happy to see the run he's made this year with the UMP points.
Just read where he finished 3rd last night in Kankakee, but what is more important is not having a DNF this late in the season. A week ago Sundy night, he was leading the ten-thousand to win race at Fairbury in the Prarie Dirt Classic only to see a late race restart surge by Eric Smith overcome his chances.
What I like about Ryan...he's just pretty simple. I've been with a few other drivers while they've been around the guy...and he is just smooth and calm. The youngster is alwasy willing to listen to questions and never is one to frey from maybe a word advice.
When "the squirel" Brian Shirly took Ryan's chance to have a solid opportunity to have a chance at the summernationals in Fairbury this summer, Ryan still took time to be civil. When I walked up to him that night and said hey...I think you were screwed and I appreciate your retaliation on the track...he simple reponded that he felt he was simply the end user of a driver out of control. He didn't give me a big oh always me kind of discussion...he just said his piece and moved on. Pretty much class to me.
So anyway, got to say again congrats Ryan on a successful 2011 year. We all look forward to what you bring to Central Il next year. Congrats champ.
