Ricky Rudd net worth and career earnings: Ricky Rudd is a retired American NASCAR driver who has a net worth of $30 million dollars. Born in Norfolk County, Virginia, Ricky Rudd began racing go-karts and motorbikes while in junior high, and then switched to stock cars when he was eighteen years old. He would race part-time on the NASCAR circuit for the first two years of his career, before focusing on it full-time beginning in 1977. He was forced to return to part-time racing due to a lack of funding throughout the late 70s, but in 1980, he signed with DiGard Motorsports, and began to rack up starts.
Over the course of his career racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, he had twenty-three wins, 374 Top Ten finishes, and twenty-nine poles. In 1983, he also raced in the Nationwide Series, and had one win, one Top Ten finish. Since retiring in 2007, he has lived quietly, and recently signed on to serve as an analyst for the Speed Channel's weekend show, "SPEED Center".
