"Ricky Craven Day"

On January 6, 1996, Maine's own Ricky Craven was honored by Angus King, the Governor of the State of Maine, at the Northeast Motorsports Expo & Trade Show. In recognition of Ricky winning the NASCAR Winston Cup Series 1995 'Rookie-of-the-Year', Governor King proclaimed January 6, 1996 "Ricky Craven Day". Below are a few pictures from that special day.
