Tim Richmond 'A Natural'

I was watching the 1986 north wilkesboro race and saw an example of Tim Richmond's natural driving talent. Despite the green coming out and being in the thick of it, he's able to hold off and pass cars while still talking to the commentary crew at length describing the problems with his car's handling. Even the pitch of his voice doesn't go up at all. I found this absolutely amazing as most of the times, when a driver tries to talk to anyone, even his crew chief, under green, their voice is so high pitched and excited and they try to keep it as short as possible to get back to concentrating on the driving.

Well, as we've all seen in many pictures, Tim was extremely popular with the ladies and quite the playboy so it's not surprising how he acquired AIDS, especially back then when almost nothing was known about the disease or how it spread.

Agree with Hoppy085, Tim would have been an icon in the sport. I think its narrow minded and rediculous that Nascar still won't give Tim his props.

Tim Richmond is simply the greatest.

It wasn't a skank that gave him AIDS LordHugenstein. It was someone who was admired in Hollywood. He was a good looking, SINGLE man who adored women. This world is full of men just like him; they just got lucky.

There's something seriously wrong with the world when you turn on a Nascar video and the first thing you see is a nigger.

@nWo24life Why should nascar honor such a dishonorable person? TIm richmond was a dime a dozen driver who thought with his dick and treated women like shit! He used hookers and whores! What is honorable about that? He committed suicide by skank and had nobody to blame but himself!

@ih8thishit Wow. .you hillbillys really need to get a life or a clue or both! A monkey can drive a car in circles. . . winning in Nascar is all about having a good crew. . plenty of money and a lot of luck! Tim Richmond was a dime a dozen driver! He committed suicide by skank because he had no class and screwed hookers and whores! If this guy is your hero you must really be a loser!

[LordHugenstein]

@CaroleNichols Tim has NO IDEA where he got aids!!! He screwed so many dirty filthy hookers and skanks nobody will ever know but God! Sadly Tim was so self centered he probably spread the disease to many. .many people! He committed suicide by skank!

[LordHugenstein]

@bcbbcb1 Well. . .maybe if he didn't treat women like cum dumpsters he would still be here! Tim was a self serving scuzzbucket who screwed anything that moved. . . no class. . no character and no fear of God! He basically committed suicide by skank!

[LordHugenstein]
