Richmond was not the typical "good 'ol boy" from the south, which caused some friction behind the scenes. But, he added some additional excitement to the sport with his flashy personality and made no apologies for being the lady's man (which unfortunately cost him his life). The dude could wheel a race car too and was not afraid to put a bumper on big bad Dale Sr. Miss personalities like that in NASCAR very much. It used to be fun to watch but has now become controlled way too much by corp. America.

Yea, I used to watch Nascar a good bit. Since Dale Sr died and w/ the commericalization of racing I can't find the interest or time in it. For god's sake, I've recently wondered why they need 2 hours of prerace talk when the race is 4 hours? WTF? Anyway, just can't get into it like I used to and maybe it's due to the lack of personalities.
