Richard Allen "Ricky" Craven (born May 24, 1966) is an
ESPN broadcaster who works as a
NASCAR analyst for the network. Prior to his ESPN duties, he was a NASCAR driver who won in four different series—the K&N Pro Series, and the three national series. He occasionally served as a pit reporter when NASCAR aired on TBS in the mid-1990s. Craven is perhaps most well known for winning the
2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400, beating
Kurt Busch in the closest finish in
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series history.
