Ray Reverham

Ray Reverham is an ex-racer who coached the IGNTR racing team in the Piston Cup Racing Series. He is best known as Jackson Storm's crew chief.

Background Information.
Ray joined the Piston Cup around the 1983 season, back when oval racing was truly beginning to set out it's boundaries for health and safety. Originally a chassis specialist, he was able to make his name within the car industry by being able to translate what many wished for in their cars handling into his own form of technological improvement. Managing to get himself behind the wheel despite his original intentions for the race course.

However, these racing days were cut short by many a year, when Ray found himself victim to a full frontal crash in only his 8th season of racing. While thankfully getting out alive, he did not escape unwounded and due to issues in his depth perception ended up pulling himself from the cup within 6 months from applying. Seemingly deciding to retire from the job as a whole due to everything he had faced.

Personality
Ray is best known as an expert at training in the cutting edge technology and tactics being used by the next-gen racers, and it's this skill that helped make his name within the Piston Cup years beyond his involvement. Anyone who has had the ability to work with him would absolutely claim that he is one of the best of the best in both his role and the field in which he works in, something to which he takes immense pride in.

His main motivation as a crew chief is a racers potential and talent. When a member of Biggs Industries, he is the only person to actually spend time and nurture Jackson Storm despite his original disinterest and less than pleasant attitude towards other racers within the building, subsequently resigning the moment that he is fired due to his sheer trust in the raw skill he possessed. From moments such as these, it becomes clear that Ray has the utmost trust and faith in those he lectures, only wishing to work with those willing to hold some belief in his actions too.

Despite all this there is a part of Ray that remains lighthearted and jovial on the job, the biggest example of this being when he and Jackson emulated Lightning Mcqueen into the simulation just for a laugh. Ray believes that it's important to have fun at such a young age and is willing to look over things as long as they remain small and do not effect future performance or state of mind.
