Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Road course ringer (also road course specialist, road course expert, or more recently road runner) is a term used to describe a non-NASCAR driver who is hired by a NASCAR team to race at a road courses. Current NASCAR national-level road courses include Infineon Raceway, Watkins Glen International, or the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve; historic circuits include Riverside International Raceway, Heartland Park Topeka, Brainerd International Raceway, etc). NASCAR describes the term, "drivers who specialize in turning both left and right," and says that "perhaps the greatest road-course ringer in NASCAR history might be Dan Gurney" after he won three straight NASCAR races at Riverside International Raceway. He lapped the field at the 1964 event, and was the last ringer to win a NASCAR race. "Ringer" is a slang term commonly used in sports to describe a particularly good competitor who is brought in to win in a specific match as opposed to competing in the entire schedule.
