Wow...you are SO blind. Watch the ESPN 30 for 30 on this pos.

Yeah that's way worse then knowing you got aids and chasing women anyway. But yeah bad Nascar.

Nascar was dirty in this situation but Tim brought a lot of it on himself also. So there a lot of guilty parties in what happened.

@@ragingbull154 exactly. Whenever somebody says NASCAR screwed tim, they always assume that we're blaming NASCAR for him getting aids. It's Tim's on fault for me and a responsible and not wearing protection, in terms of them getting AIDS and dying. But from a NASCAR standpoint, the 30 for 30 makes it fairly evident that NASCAR thought that he had AIDS, an instituted the drug policy as a backdoor way to get rid of him. I'm only 42, but I can remember how big the stigma of AIDS was before magic announced he had it. There's a difference between feeling sorry for Tim Richmond and expressing the fact that NASCAR dicked him over. I don't feel extremely sorry for Tim richmond, but that doesn't mean that NASCAR didn't screw him over. Honestly, I feel bad for the woman that he was dating that still has aids, as well as the lady I saw on 60 minutes that believes Tim gave it to her on purpose. Now, if you were to tell me that NASCAR knew that Tim Richmond was giving AIDS to women but they somehow or without AIDS before December of 1986, then at least it's understandable. The fact that they asked Tim Richmond for his medical records even after that drug test shows that that was the real reason drug policy in the first place

Just like they did to Jeremy Mayfield

No it's not. He did it to himself.

@@johncalla2151 doesn't matter he still had more talent and did more in a few short years than you will do your whole life.

@@badmonkey2222 Well I can say that I've never given anyone HIV. If being semi-famous for having 13 Winston Cup wins is how you judge somebody's life, then I'm not going to worry much about your criticism.

@@johncalla2151 you see that's the difference between me and you, I don't judge anyone that I've never met, regardless if they have some disease.

@@johncalla2151 🤡

How?? He wouldn't submit his medical records in 1988 after passing his drug test

@@davidford3968 because those drugs were for the aids he had.back then they never thought anyone would get it in sports. he tried to hide it but the walls were closing in on him sad to say

@@davidford3968the only reason they wanted him to release his re it’s was because they probably knew he had AIDS. He was trying to keep it private. They wanted to expose it and embarrass him.

im pretty sure days of thunder is as close as you'll get to the top gun of racing movies

The Days of Thunder was verly loosely based on his racing career, but not his full life (i.e. his promiscuity, HIV/AIDS diagnosis and him injecting multiple women).

I do as well. He had the ability to draw you into the race by being himself without having to resort to gimmicks or silly antics.

Larry Nuber died young also. I think it was a brain aneurysm.

@@ragingbull154 back when the OP's comment was written, Bob was still alivr

Larry had cancer!😢

The voice of my youth. His voice is one of my first nascar memories at age 3 watching with my dad in 1990. By 1992 at 5 I was at my first of 16 races with my dad decked in Dale sr. gear back then, this year will be at my 17th with my dad at Dover, 31 years later.

he is too old now.

I was setting in the stands on the inside right where Johnny picked Tim up for that famous ride.

I've read he's battling cancer. I think brain cancer, but Im not 100% on that. Bob Jenkins is the best! I hope whatever is going on, he gets better.

@@jamiedoughty6703 Thanks Jamie ,Wow thats very sad news indeed . I really liked his style ,kind of a dry type of announcing and he worked well with his partners in the booth esp Benny. He didnt try to be funny the like waltrips ,and of course mike joy . I ll pray for him to pull thru . These clowns we have in the booth now should mention Bob and ask people to pray for him and if need be ,help raise money for his med bills .Thanks DBB.

@@downtownbobbybrown6237 No problem and I agree.

RIP Bob Jenkins, Larry Nuber and Tim Richmond

@@ragingbull154 thank you buddy nobody ever talks about nuber but I thought it was the best with him as announcer. If they do say something about him it's talking crap.i recon ESPN jus used him getting into that argument with Steve chasis on air to get rid of him cause they had picked Benny up an wanted to get rid of him an get a crew chief is what I heard .he is the one who put Nascar an ESPN on the map. As far as I'm concerned an rightfully should be called the voice of. Nascar. It's his voice you hear anytime they show 80s Nascar flashbacks or replays along with CBS Ken squire..he made some of the greatest calls in our sport like Elliott winning the Winston million in 85

I know right I bet Dale Sr. wouldn’t have been so dominant if Tim hadn’t of died.

@@nibora7953 from 88 through 93, Rick Hendricks cars got better and better every year..bet your ass, Tim would’ve won his fair share of races

​@lancehurley9743 same with Davey and Robert Yates racing. Epic battles for sure.

Richmond and Gordon conquer NASCAR in ways you wouldn't believe

He may have been the most dominant driver ever

Sounds like you have Tim Richmond confused with Rob Moroso.

You must be confused with someone else. Tim Richmond died of HIV/Aids in 1989. That's always been the story of his death. Not sure where you got the car accident story?

There was a story out there that he died in a motorcycle crash.

@@keithwendl8328 when Tim went in hospital the last time essenntually to die he was supposed to hospitalized cause a car hit him an a motorcycle but it was a fabricated story

So he died of an overdose?
