He also had AIDS and if he had gotten injured he could have infected even more people. He had no business getting back in that race car and I was a big Tim Richmond fan.
@@philiphatfield5666 no he wouldn't have hurt anyone....working in Healthcare standard precautions would have kept anyone safe if he needed help from a wreck. Don't be ignorant.
I loved him,he had it all,the charm,good looks,and drove tge heck out of a race car,he lived more than a person dying of old age.He was my man on the race track and I loved him so much,he made watching so exhilarating,I have fond memories of hollering for him every Sunday surrounded by my family.I have a brother that was Ernhardt all the way,a brother that was a Darrell Waltrip fan and my daddy pulled for Bill Elliott,my husband pulled for Bobby Allison,so we were a diverse group lol
@Matt Beeman The chances that he got it from heterosexual sex are extremely low, about 0.004% per the CDC. He might have been with women on occasion, but judging by how he carried himself and his background (doing aerobics in the 80's and going to an all boys boarding school) the far greater likelihood is that he preferred the company of men. Thus, getting a shot of AIDS up the rump.
You can see at 8:49 he's in pain and he's probably wondering why he's doing this. I can imagine the help he would of got if he would have said something.
I think Ryan Gosling would do a great job portraying him. Don Johnson? Was born 6 years BEFORE Tim Richmond and will turn 73 this year - when I read this I was instantly thinking how bad all the old farts were looking playing young people in "The Irishman".
They like to ignore he was sensational in Indycars before he arrived in Nascar. His mother didn't like him in open wheel and made his father put him in a taxi cab
He had AIDS and he knew it; what's more, most of the people associated with his team knew it as well. He had no business being in that race car at that point.

He also he did not disclose his HIV status to the many females he infected like the late Debbie Putman, the late Karen Beasley and LaGena Lookabill Greene.
RIP to the women he "forgot" to disclose his HIV status to such as the late Debbie Putman, the late Karen Beasley (former Wake Forest Cheerleaders & Miss Winston N.C.) and LeGena Lookabill Greene.
@@ralex3697 Karen Beasley (former Wake Forest Cheerleader & Miss Winston N.C.) died of AIDS related complications in 1982. Also, still alive is LeGena Lookabill Greene (actress turned spiritual motivator and currently married to actor Daniel Greene of Falcon Crest). LeGena indicated that Tim Richmond infected her in September 1986, which even Tim's mother has stated that he knew was HIV+ in that same year.
He was totally gay...I have a pretty good Gaydar.....I was a young man in 1985.....No way i would have worn that getup he was wearing when doing group exercise with those woman and no straight male i knew back then would have been doing that either....he has a gay manner of speech too as well....nothing wrong with that by the way.....the odds of getting HIV from a woman is almost impossible.....the main way men get HIV is from being a catcher and not a pitcher.....Magic Johnson was bi sexual as well and that is how he got it.....Tim was a good guy and did not deserve to die so young, but he was gay more so than Bi sexual...
More and more convinced Tim Richmond was a gay guy. Just because he was with girls, doesn't mean he wasn't with guys also. Many gay people play both sides for different reasons. He lived a very promiscuous life. Never wanted to just be with one person. Very unlike many NASCAR drivers. He wasn't very straight up with other people and his condition. Makes me think he wasn't straight up about being gay also. Saying he got the virus from some unknown girl didn't really make sense. If they don't know the girl, how do they know it was a girl? Not trying to be offensive, if he was he was. Just the way it sometimes is.
there's some footage of a 60 minutes episode (from 1996) with one of his former girlfriends & also humphy speaking. anyone know what episode that was called
That was probably either actress LaGena Lookabill Greene (currently married to actor Danny Greene), who is managing her HIV well or the late Deborah "Debbie" Putman who did of AIDS.

"I'm trying to prove that I was put on this earth to have fun. To succeed at the fun department." That is a quote to live by!
I live by the same quote
@@lukenolts4 hell yeah brother!
Couldn't agree more
Tim Richmond is a legend. 14 year old me thought Richmond was the greatest driver I had ever seen.
You may have been right
You are missed a lot Timmy .

Facts
Tim came back and showed one last time in those 2 wins in 87 he still had it. It's a sad end to what could have been.
He also had AIDS and if he had gotten injured he could have infected even more people. He had no business getting back in that race car and I was a big Tim Richmond fan.

I think Richmond would've been a great announcer after his career as a driver would've ended.
Well…. If he’d kept his body clean and his butthole closed, he’d be ok
One of my favorite drivers of all time let's not forget he drove indy cars too and was rookie of the year at the indy 5oo I believe
R.I.P. Tim Richmond

Just sad story what could have been!!! Got to love the guy..!!
Timmy Richmond was a badass driver
Tim Richmond lived fast !
Caught up with him
Robin Alexander I’ll say he did....he died of AIDS.

That's what Tim's boyfriend said!
You are exactly right VERY amazing.
Had Tim Richmond lived,Dale would have never won 7 Championships. Rest In Peace Tim.
Bullshit!
We need a tim Richmond in nascar today!
I'm your Huckleberry. 😊
I can do the job
I never got to see him race but just watching all the videos of him makes me wonder if dale would've had all those championship
That guy had a TON of guts…
Is there enough public interest in a Tim Richmond biopic? I wonder which actor could portray the late Tom Richmond?

Matthew McConaughey
He was a butt pirate with the AIDS

I would do it.
Had he lived and had a full race career one thing is for sure Dales wins would have been cut in half! RIP Tim
The same has been said about Davey Allison and Jeff Gordon but we will never know one thing is for sure it would've been some great racing
Fortunate enough to see Tim drive and battle my favorite driver Dale.....in his prime...Tim was my second favorite.....rip
Hollywood
Great great driver!
You can see at 8:49 he's in pain and he's probably wondering why he's doing this. I can imagine the help he would of got if he would have said something.
I agree with J Morrow, Richmond would have won at least 50 races and probably a couple championships and probably Hendrick's first. Gone too soon.
He was Robert Taylor of the movies in a car!
I Imagine He got Alot of 🐈 In His Day...
if they ever do a movie about him don johnson should play him
JHATDRUMMER1976
He is too old to play him
As you probably know, Days of Thunder is loosely based on Tim Richmond.
I think Ryan Gosling would do a great job portraying him. Don Johnson? Was born 6 years BEFORE Tim Richmond and will turn 73 this year - when I read this I was instantly thinking how bad all the old farts were looking playing young people in "The Irishman".
They were friends in real life. Tim was going to do a episode of " Miami Vice " about the time he got sick.
They like to ignore he was sensational in Indycars before he arrived in Nascar. His mother didn't like him in open wheel and made his father put him in a taxi cab
His style fit NASCAR. He would have had to grown into Indy but it would have been spectacular.
I was there when JR gave him a ride on the winning car.
He had AIDS and he knew it; what's more, most of the people associated with his team knew it as well. He had no business being in that race car at that point.
What documentary is this from?
The great Bosco Lowe passing by!!..4:43
Is that Kevin Costner narrating this?

i would have like to see Tim go up against some of todays drivers i bet he would beat them all
Petty worked against Tim, he was outspoken about Tim having drug issues which could have been been however Petty was. Adamant that it was drugs.
What song 7:53
Love Tim, but I have a hard time believing Derrick Cope fans exist
Hey I used to see people with Danica swag on at the track so anything is possible....
Cope had a fan club. We all met up at Dover. It was a great time. Dude won a Daytona 500. Many known drivers have done less.
HE WAS ALSO A QUEEN MAGNET
tim was the best like jeff gardon
Dale is Awesome, But he Don't have 7 if Tim did not get sick.
Go #25
Earnhardt wouldn't have 7 Championships if Tim had lived
Great driver but did not focus on what matters most in this life
Did Richmond ever win Daytona 500?
Tim won the Firecracker 400 at Daytona in 1986.
He knew he had aids that whole time I he didn't give a fuck about the other drivers health, he just craved his own Fame and stardom
He also he did not disclose his HIV status to the many females he infected like the late Debbie Putman, the late Karen Beasley and LaGena Lookabill Greene.
Uneducated much?
He wasn’t wrestling other drivers idiot
He infected so many women knowing he had Aids.
@@annacrawford1113 That’s a rumor idiot

Didn’t talk a lot about the women he knowingly exposed...

Terrible shame!😥
To bad the stigma of HIV/AIDS was so bad back then compared to now
Should have kept it in his pants
It's the women who liked him
Shame on you.
