Tim Richmond, To the Limit
Natural. Rock star.
Outsider. In the 1980s, race car driver Tim Richmond lived his life
the way he raced cars – wide open. Born into a wealthy family,
Richmond was the antithesis of the Southern blue-collar, dirt-track
racers who dominated NASCAR. He also was a flamboyant showman who
basked in the attention of the media and fans – especially the
attention of female admirers. Nevertheless, it was Richmond's
on-track performances that ended up drawing comparisons to racing
legends. And in 1986, when he won seven NASCAR races and finished
third in the Winston Cup series points race, some believed he was on
the verge of stardom.
But his freewheeling lifestyle soon
caught up to him. He unexpectedly withdrew from the NASCAR racing
circuit, reportedly suffering from double pneumonia. In reality, the
diagnosis was much more dire: He had AIDS. Richmond returned to the
track in 1987, but he was gone from the sport by the next year as
his health deteriorated. He spent his final days as a recluse, dying
on August 13, 1989 at the age of 34. Emmy Award-winning filmmaker
Rory Karpf examines the life and tragic death of one of NASCAR's
shooting stars.
