Ronnie Dean Correy (born 8 November 1966, Bellflower, USA)[1] is an American international motorcycle speedway rider. He is a former World Pairs Champion, winning the title in 1992.
Career summary
Correy first rode in the UK for the Wolverhampton Wolves in 1987, winning the British League championship title in 1991. A year later he won the World Pairs Championship with Greg Hancock and was also a member of the USA team that won the 1992 Speedway World Team Cup.
Wolverhampton (1987–1993, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2005, 2006) Long Eaton (1995) Belle Vue (1998, 1999, 2004) Swindon (2006) Edinburgh (2007)
Ronnie has always been regarded as the nice guy and was always seen with a smile on his face. He was nicknamed Rocket and is regarded by Wolverhampton fans as a legend alongside Sam Ermolenko and Peter Karlsson. He scored an amazing 4,127 points for Wolverhampton, recording 19 full maximums and 9 paid maximums which is a surprise to many as he scored 366 bonus points with Wolves.
He now runs a Harley Davidsson dealership in Cheltenham where he lives with his wife and son.
In 2011 he was tempted to appear in two meetings for the touring USA Dream Team but decided against it shortly before the matches and it was revealed he is set to return to America to live later that year.
