Rick Mueller Driver of the Week

Rick Mueller is not new to the racing scene. He has been racing for 34 years, started in simulates in 1972.
“Racing is something I always wanted to do, so when I got out of High school, I built a simulate,” said Mueller.
Mueller has driven in almost every division there is.
On
Friday nights, he races his own modified in Hutchinson, and on Saturday
nights, he races Duane and Linda Zwickl’s street stock for them.
Mueller enjoys racing because of the adrenaline rush you get and also the competition.
“Racing
is a real expensive hobby, which I don’t have a lot of money for, so I
don’t have the big motors like some of the other guys do. I race
because I enjoy it,” said Mueller.
With Mueller driving the Zwickl’s
car, they take care of all the maintenance and financing of it. Any
winnings Mueller gets, he gives to the Zwickl’s.
Mueller has never won a championship in his years of racing. He is currently ninth in points.
We would like to wish Mueller the best of luck this season.
