Timothy Lee Richmond was an American race car driver who began his career with the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) in the 1980s after winning the Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award. In 1986, during The Cup Series at Pocono, Richmond successfully passed American race car driver, Dale Earnhardt, through the infamously challenging tunnel turn resulting in Richmond's win. That was one of a series-high seven races that Richmond would win that year, all in a 17- race stretch. Richmond's reputation wasn't limited to the racetrack. He was a well-liked guy know for his larger than life personality, charisma, and outgoing character. He had a passion and enthusiasm for racing and his love of the sport came with little concern about appearances or the perception of others. As Richmond liked to say, "I don't give a shit, I don't take any shit, I'm not in the shit business." Timothy Lee Richmond died on August 13, 1989, from Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). He was 34 years old.
