He was a great NASCAR driver but he knew he had HIV/AIDS, was in denial and withheld his infect to many women. LaGena Lookabill Greene was Richmond's former fiancee during the late 1980's and met him in 1980. He infected her and expose over 20 women to the diease. Among those were infected were Karen Beasley, a former Miss Winston (N.C.) that died of AIDS-related illness in 1992.
I REALLY HATE HIM. As a Russian i loathe him. he would've died 10 years earlier. As a man with a lot of drugs and sex, that's what i loathe very much. I hope this can be a lesson for the whole world.
22 years ago today. On August 13, 1989, it was the day after my 12th birthday. Then came an announcement that he died...
And i tuned to the Soviet anthem (this was before 1991) in the later years i play the Soviet anthem, and after 1991, Russian, to celebrate victory.
@international153 you know what yeavthe man had aids but how many of us would have the streanth to go out and compete while being weakened from aids i mean if you really want to loathe and hate someone hate your parents and grandparents for not standing up to stalin while he was killingmillions of russians u communist fuck. AND WE TOOK ALASKA FROM YOU GUYS ANF MADE U OURBBITCHES.
Tim Richmond was who he was on the track cause he loved racing and winning. Everything else in his life had to fight for 2nd. He would have been the Jeff Gordon of NASCAR. I read an interview with him once. They had 2 engines to race with. One had laps on it with a lot of HP. The other one was fresh with less HP. He said "give me the fresh engine with less HP. I will just drive it harded"
One of a kind, there isn't a driver today that was like Tim Richmond, there may never be another one again. Tom Cruise, although he's a good actor, he did not do the part justice in DOT. I can understand why women would talk badly of him, but all the males here on youtube dissing him, C'mon like you'd act like a priest givin all the opportunity this guy had. I'm sure alot of you would've been the same way...
What a greasy sleezeball Tim Richmond was! He knowingly infected so many people with aids! You can't be a bigger piece of shit than that! He was born to privilege and wasted his life on drugs, booze and skanky whores! You just look at the guy and see a self serving piece of shit who cared about nobody. . including himself. SO sad. . born to privilege with every opportunity to help mankind and he was a drunk skank monger instead!
@LordHungenstein You are sooooo right on every count. She was just a small town country girl who fell for his bullshit, and wanted the excitement. He was even shooting up heroine at the time, what an ass! Don't get me wrong, she slept with him, but he knew he had Aids at the time, and didn't tell anyone or care who he hurt. Bastard is a mild word for people like him. Thanks for getting the truth out!
@mrtuttle76 Tim Richmond was a total loser! Born to privilege he pissed his useless life away no drugs, booze and skanky broads! He knowingly infected many women with the Aids virus! What a piece of shit he was!
@mrtuttle76 fuck dude all i said was i found a dvd at a pawn shop for a dollar and the whole dvd is not about tim richmond just the one small segment that u see here,didn't say one thing about tim richmond,so in effect,fuck u and have a nice day lordsuckmydick
@bratcliffe I agree with you. .. Tim Richmond was a self serving piece of shit scumbag. He was born to privilege and pissed his life away on drugs, booze and skanky broads. I'm not saying your ex girlfriend was a skanky broad. .but why the hell was she with him? He screwed anything that moved. Maybe she was looking to make some money or someting. Tim Richmond was no hero. . he was a ZERO! What a bastard for giving her and others aids!
This guy was a self absorbed turd! He was born to privelege and wasted all his opportunities in life! He was a drug and booze addict and got aids from the total skank whores he screwed! Hard to have any smpathy for anyone like that!
Tim Richmond was one of the best drivers. period. It's time for NASCAR and the France family to quit treating him like a dirty secret and give this man some recognition. Would have been really amazing to see what this young man could have done.
Just really sad that legends like this could have a darker side in that he spread aids like a wildfire. not just him many celebrities did so too and still are admired like the kings they so claim to be.
hard to believe its been 20 years since tim died, with his potental anything could've happened, could've won numerous titles and alot of races, its just a shame his lifestyle away from the track cost him his life
Thank you so much for posting this. I saw it when it aired, but could never catch it again. It's so hard to find stuff on Tim Richmond. NASCAR are only cheating both themselves and fans by not embracing this guy's past. I'm a Jeff Gordon fan and didn't start watching until 1996, but I went back to see the older drivers and discovered Tim. Each great has their own legend, Earnhardt, Gordon, Petty...I wish we could have seen more of what Richmond's would have been.
Great video! How (or where) can I see the whole thing?
About Tim... He was a raw talent and was good on pretty much every type of track. It's a shame he was a bit reckless away from the track...who knows what he could have done in his career...
@AndyMarquisLIVE Yeah. . whatever. . . Richmond was overated and was a piece of shit. Pissed his life away on drugs, booze and skanky whores. He knowingly infected many women with aids! He was a PIECE OF SHIT!
@AndyMarquisLIVE Hey. . I loved sex and alcohol at that age as well. . . and I still do. . HOWEVER, I was responsible, enjoyed both in safe moderation and was terrified of getting a disease or giving someone I cared about one! Tim Richmond was a selfish pig!!! He thought of himself and nobody else. He killed himself and many others! He was an ignorant hillbilly! Now he is 6 feet under paying for his sins for all eternity! He is a role model of what NOT to be!

How ironic his story is.
Best racer I ever saw......and I saw Donahue. Mark Donahue. He was calculating, Tim was one inch over the line. He was pure entertainment.
