meet the man: rich gould

Rich Gould, a native of New Jersey, began his racing career at the legendary high banks of Wall Township Speedway in Wall, New Jersey in 1998 competing in the track’s street stock division. After a successful rookie season which saw three top-5’s and ten top-10’s in only fourteen starts, Rich decided to continue honing his driving skills and gain valuable experience in this competitive division for the next three years.

By 2001, Rich decided it was time to take his career to the next level and move to the premier division at the track by the shore, the open-wheeled modified division. Rich entered eighteen of the twenty-six events that year and just missed being crowned Rookie of the Year by a mere ten points.

It was in 2005 when Rich made the leap to the NASCAR Camping World East series. That year Rich made limited starts in the series until the following year when he would campaign the full season schedule where he went on to finish 20^th in the final points standings. In 2007 Rich scaled back his schedule to just three starts but posted his career best finish in the series, 10^th place at the Music City Motorplex in Nashville, Tennessee and followed it up with an 11^th place finish at the season finale at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware
