Was tim richmond gay
Richmond was no excellent ol' boy
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Tim Richmond was dying from AIDS, but his spirit was undaunted. On a sweltering summer day, he showed up for a race in Nashville -- wearing a leather suit.
"It must have been degrees," Darrell Waltrip recalled, his voice rising, his smile widening. "He was the grand marshal. He was going to start the race.
"Well, he pulled up beside my machine and crawled in with me. He was soaking soggy. I don't realize how he even moved in that suit. He said, 'C'mon, D.W., I'm riding with you.' "
By then, the ride was almost over. Richmond's meteoric life took the checkered flag far too soon, struck down by a reckless lifestyle and a terrible disease.
But, oh, what a legacy he left behind. Richmond crammed plenty of living into his 34 years, showing a remarkable penchant for going fast on the track -- and even faster outside the fence.
Many NASCAR fans came to the sport after Richmond's death in August They have no concept what they missed.
"This would have been a different sport if Tim Richmond had lived," driver-turned-owner Richard Childress sai

from his hometown. My mother wrote stories on him for our local paper. He
was a GREAT person and a fantastic driver. No Amy, whoever you are, Tim
Richmond was the farthest thing from gay you can get. Why don't people in
here earn off this 'wholly er than thou' kick and recognize Tim made some
mistakes. No, he wasn't perfect, but if you knew him, he really had a heart
of gold.
He was one of the best Nascar drivers that there ever was. Why else would
there be a movie made about his relationship with his crew chief Harry Hyde?
(Yes, the movie in itself is a bit debateable
Quoted:
Awesome driver. Probably straight.
ETA Actually, thinking back on it, there is just about no way he could have been a peter puffer in Winston Cup back in those days. I'm sure he got AIDS the same way Magic didfucking every female within a 20 mile radius of him, wherever he went. He was wild as shit. Might include even gotten it from a needle.
Bingo
This.
I watched the show last night too. The first time I missed the first 20 minutes or so, and the interviews and such made me consider there was a 50/50 chance he was gay. I stayed up and watched it the second time, and came away thinking there was no way he was gay. Earlier in the episode they seemed to speak of more that at that time people didn't really verb you could earn it via hetero sex, and because of that, they(Tim) worked harder to keep it hushed. A trip to the net seemed to confirm that he wasn't gay, and Wiki also suggests that he was straight.
