About Ronnie Souders Jr.
Ronnie S. Souders, Jr. is 28 years of age. Ronnie, originally from Freedom, Pennsylvania, now resides in Akron, Ohio with his wife Anita. Anita is an elementary art teacher while Ronnie maintains his love for racing while keeping a full-time job as a factory worker in Akron.
At the age of 3, soaring down a small mountain on a 10-speed bike without training wheels, Ronnie realized that he had a love for speed. While attending Big Knob Elementary School, his love for sports and racing grew. While being an aggressive wrestler for the Freedom Bulldogs, his commitment and showmanship to the sport was obvious, but his thoughts were never far from racing.
At the urging of his father, Ronald L. Souders, Ronnie Jr. climbed behind the wheel of a go-kart at age 10 for his very first race. His loves for racing developed into a passion that continues to this day. At this time also, Ronnie and his family began to be involved in Motor Racing Outreach (MRO), a non-profit organization founded in 1988 to serve the NASCAR racing community. After four championship-winning seasons, the father and son partnership moved on to Legend Cars.
Ronnie continued to grow, learn, and excel racing the Legend Cars. During all of his success, he remained true to himself and his community. The father and son duo yearly donated time, effort, and their car for the Mark Collie Celebrity Race, Cure for Diabetes. During this time, Ronnie was also an avid member of Evangel Baptist Church where he was a youth leader for teens. Being a positive role model for his community has always been important to Ronnie.
