Richard Boswell Jr.

#01

Richard Boswell Jr. drives the #01 Late Model Stock Class car.  He lives in Friendship, MD.  His home track is Old Dominion Speedway.

He started racing in 1995 in the Go Karts Class at Nation Wide  because he'd always been around it as his Dad has raced for 30 years.  His first win was in 1996 in the Go Karts at VSA.  Career highlights include 1998 World Karting Association National Champion, 1998 Grand National Champion, 2003 3rd place in Old Dominion Speedway Points behind 2003 National Champ Mark McFarland.

The thrill of racing for Richard is the competition.  His most exciting racing moment was running 2nd to Mark McFarland.  He's most proud of WKA National Championship, and his 3rd place Points finish at ODS in 2003.

Richard's racing hero is his Dad, Dickie Boswell and Dale Earnhardt.

Of racing, Richard says, "It's a great time if you've got the money to be competitive every week.  Money has a lot to do with being competitive.  It can be heartbreaking if you don't have a lot of money behind you!".
