Live Fast, Die Young

Tim Richmond shook up the NASCAR world with his Hollywood lifestyle, but he backed up his attitude with amazing driving skills. A bit reckless on the track, his personal life was just as wild: but this life would catch up with him. Contracting a disease that was stigmatized in the early 1980s, AIDS, he did his best to hide it until his death at just age 34. Both a celebration and a cautionary tale of man that electrified a sport and ultimately lived fast and died young. While in hour does not give you much time to really dig into the meat of the man's life, there is enough there to leave you satisfied.
