A winner of well over 200 feature events over the course of his racing career, including 35 in Midget action, "The Flying Shu" comes out of a ten-year retirement to compete in his first Chili Bowl since 1997.

A consistent front-runner over the first decade of Chili Bowl competition, Ron made the feature cut in all nine attempts with seven top-ten finishes, including runner-up showings in both 1993 and 1995.

The 1997 Knoxville Nationals winner, eight-time Turkey Night winner (with six of those wins at the famed Ascot Speedway) and seven-time CRA and SCRA champion, who now serves as competition director for the ASCS Canyon Region, teams with his son Casey in the fleet of A.J. Felker entries.
