Ricky Craven

Common card · No. 482283

Richard Allen Craven (born May 24, 1966) is an American stock car racing analyst and former driver. Prior to his broadcasting duties, he was a NASCAR driver who won in four different series—the ARCA Menards Series, and the three national series. Craven occasionally served as a pit reporter when NASCAR aired on TBS in the mid-1990s. He is perhaps most well known for winning the 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400, beating Kurt Busch in the closest finish in Cup Series history at the time. A margin of victory, 0.002 seconds, only tied by Jimmie Johnson and Clint Bowyer in April 2011 at Talladega with Jimmie coming out on top. It stood for more than twenty years until Kyle Larson bested Chris Buescher by a margin of 0.001 seconds at Kansas in May of 2024.
