It has been my privilege to have known Ross Thompson for quite some time, and early on in his career at the Bondurant School. I had the opportunity to work with him and to teach him some of the things I had learned over the years. Not only did I find him to be a quick learner, but also a driver with immense natural abilities.

In climbing the racing ladder, he has competed in NASCAR events as well as Trans-Am… and though usually not in the most competitive equipment, he has seemed to manage good results regardless. I see him as one of the few Americans with both the ability and the desire to compete at the sport's highest level and do so professionally.
