#13RJ

Ron Cundiff Jr. drives the #13RJ V-8 Modified Class car.  His home track is Cedar County Speedway but he can also be found racing at West Liberty Speedway, Dubuque Speedway, Farley Speedway and Freeport Raceway Park.  He lives in DeWitt, IA.

Team members helping Ron are:  Crew Chief - Ron Cundiff Sr., Carla Cundiff, Cody Cundiff, Cheyann Cundiff, Rod Bracher, Rob Clark Chassis Builder Casey.

He started racing in 2003 in the V-8 Modified Class at Jackson County Speedway because he and his Dad started in order to have a hobby together and because Ron stopped bull riding but had to have a natural rush in his life.

The thrill of racing for Ron sounds crazy, but actually it's the fans and little kids who come over for autographs.  His most exciting racing moment is actually every time he comes in off the track and his Dad's smiling and excited about how Ron finished or raced.  He's most proud of the night he was told by the late Ronnie Weedon that Ron was one of the most considerate young Rookie drivers he's ever raced.

Ron's racing heroes are Ronnie Barker and Steve Johnson because as good of drivers as  they are, you can still talk to them and ask questions and they don't let success go to their heads.

Of racing, Ron says, "Each and every driver puts a lot of time and effort into their cars no matter how fast or slow they are and for the kids, try, try, try again until you finally succeed and go for your goals!".
