THE MILLER 500 / 1986
32
year-old Tim Richmond was racing's bad boy on his way back up in 1986
- but a life of drug and alcohol excesses led to his death a few short
years later.
Witness one of Tim Richmond's
last but best races - his incredibly emotional comeback win in Pocono!
It was, sadly, his last win.
ANOTHER
RACE, ANOTHER TIME:
Ba-da-bing, Ba-da-BOOM!
People don't go to races to see wrecks - but there is
rarely death or injury - the tragedy of Dale Earnhart not withstanding!
