Speaker 8: Landon Kuns is the man that is putting everything together

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 8: here on Beyond the Bricks. Our look at the personalities,

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 8: the names, the storylines of the history of the Indianapolis

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 8: Motor Speedway, and of course primarily this show, especially if

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 8: you're listen to podcasts, form the vast majority of those

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 8: episodes with which you would be learning about things, it

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 8: would be that relation.

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 6: To the Indianapolis five hundred mile race.

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 8: But this is the week of the Brickyard four hundred

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 8: and NASCAR at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As a matter

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 8: of fact, tomorrow everything will get underway in terms of

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 8: the Hauler Parade and all of the events that take place,

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 8: with practice on Friday and qualifying on Saturday, racing in

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 8: the Exfinity Series on Saturday, the race for the Brickyard

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 8: four hundred on Sunday. We'll get the schedule for everything

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 8: in more finite detail coming up at the bottom of

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 8: the hour. But first let me welcome in the man

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 8: who is kind of the brains of the operation, and

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 8: that is not necessarily the biggest challenge when the only other.

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 6: Brain involved would be mine.

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 8: But Mike Thompson is the guy that puts together everything

34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 8: in terms of beyond the bricks of the ideas of

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 8: what we talk about and cross breeding both from the

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 8: NASCAR side and IndyCar open wheel racing history side, and

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 8: he is the audio archivist, if you will, of the

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 8: Indianapolis Motor speed Mike Tonight. This is going to be

39
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 8: a fun one because we get to talk about somebody

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 8: that I think is one of the more fun personalities

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 8: and larger than life personalities at his time, during the

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 8: time that he was driving at the speedway.

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, he was definitely a larger than life personality, one

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: of the most charismatic.

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: People you'd ever want to meet.

46
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that a little bit later, because I

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: got to meet him on a couple of occasions and

48
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: really definitely one of the most charismatic people in the

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: history of racing as far as I'm concerned.

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 8: We're talking about a guy that and it was just

51
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 8: last year, as a matter of fact, that I was

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 8: at the midd Ohio sports Car Course. Of course, that

53
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 8: is essentially Mike's home track, and I have a friend

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 8: that lives in Cleveland. Of course, midd Ohio sports Car

55
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 8: Course for those that are unfamiliar, is in essentially Lexington, Ohio,

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 8: Steam's Corners if you want to get really technical, but

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 8: just about oh, I don't know, maybe forty five minutes

58
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 8: to an hour north of Columbus and a little bit

59
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 8: to the southwest of Cleveland. And so my buddy from

60
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 8: Cleveland we met for dinner for the night and decided

61
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 8: that the closest place I believe it's Ashland, Ohio. Am

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 8: I correct in saying Ashland, Ohio? Mike, That's correct, Ashland, Ohio.

63
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 8: That's where the person we're talking about tonight is from.

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 6: Correct.

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 8: So we're having dinner and I said, hey, so what's

66
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 8: the you know, other than being a meeting point that

67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 8: is convenient for the two of us. Let's look up

68
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 8: the history of Ashland, and in doing so I very

69
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 8: quickly learned that not only was the hometown of but

70
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 8: the final resting place of where we went and paid

71
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 8: our respects to Tim Richmond, who is somebody who drove

72
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 8: essentially Mike. The easiest way to say it is if

73
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 8: you look at the time period in which Tim Richmond

74
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 8: was racing, and we're talking late seventies into the early eighties.

75
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 8: He was a guy that not only from a personality standpoint,

76
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 8: was larger than life, but also was willing and capable

77
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 8: of racing just about anything if it had a steering wheel,

78
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 8: steering wheel and four wheels, no matter the series it was, USAK,

79
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 8: whether it was NASCAR, whether it was Open wheel, he

80
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 8: could run and would run just about anything.

81
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, he know he ran USAK. People don't

82
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: really remember the fact he ran USACK races. You know,

83
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: he was running on the dirt and things like that.

84
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: I mean he ran a series called Mini Indie at

85
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: one point, so you know, you're right he was. He

86
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: was running everything he could get, you know, anytime he

87
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: could get a ride, he was moving up the ranks,

88
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: and he he was one of those guys that you know,

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: they call it, I guess a shooting star, because you know,

90
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: it felt like he kind of came out of nowhere

91
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 3: and became this you know, meteoric rise and and just

92
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: just really became an instant star in racing.

93
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 8: And when you look at his overall, as you had

94
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 8: talked about, kind of that meteoric rise where all of

95
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 8: a sudden, and sometimes this happens where you have a

96
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 8: driver that hits the scene, you hear things mentioned and

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 8: then all of a sudden, before you know it, everywhere

98
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 8: you turn around, you are seeing stories of or hearing

99
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 8: stories about their accomplishments. Tim Richmond was born in June

100
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 8: of nineteen fifty five in Ashland, Ohio, and as you

101
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 8: had talk about, by the time he got to Indianapolis,

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 8: he was not yet twenty five years old running in

103
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 8: the nineteen eighty Indianapolis five in a mile race that

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 8: was his rookie campaign, and especially in a time period

105
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 8: when you look at it where you know, clearly back

106
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 8: in the early eighties you were talking about a number

107
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 8: of entrants for the Indianapolis five hundred, a number of

108
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 8: cars and quality drivers that did not even make the

109
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 8: show back in those days. But that was not the

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 8: case for Tim Richmond. When he showed up and showed

111
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 8: up with his Penske Cosworth back in nineteen eighty, he

112
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 8: was immediately one who showed that he had speed. Now,

113
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 8: this is from May ninth of nineteen eighty. What you're

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 8: about to hear. This is Lou Palmer, who himself would

115
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 8: later go on to become the chief announcer of the

116
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 8: Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio network. With his track report of

117
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 8: track activity for that first third of the month in

118
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 8: May of nineteen eighty.

119
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, go to a rookie. Well,

120
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: certainly the odds were against it until the final hour

121
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: of practice on a Friday, when Tim Richmond showed everybody

122
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: else how fast you could go one hundred ninety three

123
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: and a half miles an hour a rookie in car

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: number twenty one. Some changes in the offing, too, it

125
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: would appear Johnny Rutherford and aj Foyd out in the

126
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: cars that carried the t or backup they could well

127
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: become primary. Rutherford runs at one hundred and ninety three

128
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: point double oh nine and point with the Cosworth engine

129
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: at one hundred ninety two and a half miles an hour.

130
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: Others were going well. We had Spike Gelhausen at one

131
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety one nine and then an entire team

132
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: moving up well above one hundred and ninety miles an hour,

133
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: with Rick Mears leading away, fuddled by Mario Andretti and

134
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: Bobby Unser those cars for the Penske team, Danny on

135
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: Gaias very late in the day finally achieving as well

136
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety point nine miles an hour, others

137
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: attempting to run up and with an hour and a

138
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: half practice on a Saturday before we go qualifying, while

139
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: other people who could be there might include Johnny Parsons,

140
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: Tom Sneve, Poncho Carter, Tom Bagley, Jerry Sneve finding at

141
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: another area of speed the beginnings of a breakthrough, and

142
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: Al Unser finally seeming to get it sorted out and

143
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: moving to one hundred and eighty eight miles an hour

144
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: in a brand new ground effects car. Gordon john Cock

145
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: trouble but cleared to run now the fracture should not

146
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: interfere so he could get qualified. Sheldon Kinser, who had

147
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: a car on the wall earlier in the week back

148
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: out on the track in Carniber twenty four, it stayed

149
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: together and then the incident of the afternoon came, and

150
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: not seriously so when Carniber nineteen, being piloted by Dana Carter,

151
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: got into a spin again at the south end of

152
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: the track but made no wall contact. Some progress made

153
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: in terms of finding rights. Gary Bettenhausen was out in

154
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: one of Sherman Armstrong's car number forty six. John Mayler

155
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: finally made an appearance in car ninety two, and Rich

156
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Boegler also in car fifty. But he still has some

157
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: laps to run to complete a driver's test, so does

158
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: Ron Schumann, so does Bill Whittington.

159
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 6: For them, it's a weekend wait before they.

160
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: Can run the test to completion and then try to

161
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: qualify on the final weekend and again at the top

162
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: of the line on the final full day of practice

163
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: before poll day qualifications. Tim Richmond, a rookie at one

164
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: hundred ninety three point five oh seven miles an.

165
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 8: Hour the poll in nineteen eighty and the win for

166
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 8: that matter would go to Johnny Rutherford, who would become

167
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 8: a key figure within the story of Tim Richmond. More

168
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 8: on that in a minute. But as for qualifying for

169
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 8: Richmond himself, you heard Lou Palmer say he was a

170
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 8: legitimate threat to start up front, but it was a

171
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 8: crash in qualifying that would then cause a setback in

172
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 8: trying to put the car that he would ultimately put

173
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 8: into the field back together again. And as Tim Richmond

174
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 8: talked about with Jackie Stewart, that effort and that new

175
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 8: curveball did create some challenges for the rookie.

176
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 9: It's been a tumultious month for Tim Richmond. Tim, this

177
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 9: must be the biggest month that's.

178
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 10: Ever happened to you.

179
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: I'll tell you, Jackie a couple weeks ago it was

180
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: probit of the best week in my life in the

181
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: worst all in seven days right there. You know, we

182
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 4: ran as fast as we did and we kind of

183
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: crashed the car, But now the cruising a fantastic. God,

184
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: we're we're backady to run the race. So I'll tell

185
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: you it's been really fantastic for me.

186
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 9: I'd have to observe as a race driver right now

187
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 9: in your career year sort of all bright eyed and

188
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 9: ritchy tales. I mean, it must be like a bodler

189
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 9: Champee being open for you because you're all bubbling through

190
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 9: the light.

191
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am, And I don't know what to say.

192
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: I just it's all news for me.

193
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: You do things like this right here, and I don't know,

194
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: it's amazing and I really appreciate, you know, the fact

195
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: that I've been able to be able to come here

196
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: and have a chance to do what we've done. And

197
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 4: I hope I go many years.

198
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 6: And you know, it's interesting, Mike.

199
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 8: We mentioned Johnny Ruttherford in that nineteen eighty race and

200
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 8: Tim Richmond as well, and one of the most iconic

201
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 8: moments of the nineteen eighty eighty five hundred, of course,

202
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 8: happened at the end of the race as Johnny Ruttherford

203
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 8: is doing his victory lap and Tim Richmond runs out

204
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 8: of fuel. It led to one of the most memorable

205
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 8: moments of the eighties at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

206
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 10: In the ball I think it must have been concentration

207
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 10: or something.

208
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 11: But there's a man who's very happy in the year

209
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 11: Johnny Runner waiting to everyone already seems to thinking he's

210
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 11: driving K Yes, yes, the workman is show.

211
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 12: He's away of other stuff.

212
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 4: Apparently Keevy showing ready, he said, tack, putting to her

213
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 4: white back.

214

Speaker 11: He's waiting till we're talking about you know, a joy

215
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 11: was talking about a taxi samers.

216
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: It was expensive when you could find the pel.

217
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 13: So come up, you know, tell us how the way

218
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 13: I'm gonna go this year?

219
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: Or he may be the oncoming a j point in

220
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: that way all the month of la.

221
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 6: This rookie at age twenty four, he's always with the

222
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 6: figure five finish here.

223
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 14: You imagine he'll be the rookie.

224
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 15: Of the year.

225
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 12: Well, he's getting his mind and this might be Jeddy

226
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 12: to Fickly simple.

227
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 11: Prematurely.

228
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 16: Brother good do we enjoy it just as much?

229
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 13: And so of them shaking him and he's lifting to

230
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 13: hang him.

231
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 11: Tony's runners for nothing, pointing number money's running to young Tim.

232
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 11: He was looking form for, not Wendy.

233
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 17: We the crowd got all they could.

234
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 4: Have asked for today.

235
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 13: Magneficit racing, no serious injuries, some spectacular sights deceive and

236
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 13: bury worthy winner in Johnny Leatherber of fourth Worth.

237
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 6: Texas at age forty two. An iconic moment.

238
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 8: Indeed, Jim McKay on the call there along with Jackie

239
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 8: Stewart as Tim Richmond just got out of his car

240
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 8: hopped on the side pot of Johnny whatth Theford, and

241
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 8: Johnny Rutford said, go ahead and I'll take you to

242
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 8: the area where Victory Lane is, as Johnny Rutford celebrated

243
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 8: his win and Tim Richmond celebrated a top ten finished

244
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 8: ninth in that nineteen eighty Indianapolis five hundred. Tim Richmond

245
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 8: and Johnny Rutherford later would talk about that iconic moment.

246
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 4: You know, it's amazing how many people in that situation,

247
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: Brotherford and I going to Victory Lane together, how many

248
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 4: people thought that was a planned, you know, premeditated situation there,

249
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 4: and in fact it wasn't. You know, I ran out

250
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: of fuel. Believe me, if if I would have not

251
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 4: tried to run out of fuel, and because I would

252
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: have finished probably fifth, I guess, instead of ninth. But

253
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 4: now I was talking to the crowd, you know, waving

254
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 4: and stuff and having.

255
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 15: A good time, and JR.

256
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 6: Drove behind me and.

257
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 4: I didn't even see him. And I was going to

258
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 4: the crowd and they were going, you know, like they

259
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: were going look over here, and I looked to my

260
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 4: left and there was Rutherford, and you know he I

261
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 4: could just see his hand in their motion and me,

262
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 4: come on, come on, and I ran after the car,

263
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 4: and you know, those things were pretty fragile at the time,

264
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 4: the sidepods and said, I said.

265
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 6: Right here, and he said, yeah, get on.

266
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 4: So I got on, and you know, I knew he'd

267
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 4: won the thing, and he said, where's the phinish And

268
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 4: I said, I don't know. I was kind of like

269
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 4: a joke. I said, where'd you finish that? I said

270
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 4: that you did win it?

271
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 6: He said yeah.

272
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: And so then I held his hand up, and.

273
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 4: You know, I was a little embarrassed at being holding

274
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 4: the number one sign up because I was doing it

275
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: for him. So I held the number one up and

276
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 4: pointed to his helmet, and you know, it's not bad

277
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 4: to go to Victory Lane, either in a car or

278
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: on a car to Indianapolis.

279
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 18: He came running over and he's you know, he's patted

280
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 18: me on the show.

281
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 15: It's a nice shop.

282
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: And I said, thank you, get on. He says what

283
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: I said, get on, I'll give you a ride.

284
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 6: He said, oh okay.

285
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 10: So he sat down on the on the sidepod and.

286
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: Hung on the roll bar and I took him to

287
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: Victory Lane, and I had always hoped that that he

288
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: was sick.

289
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 12: With IndyCar racing and maybe win Indianapolis.

290
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 10: So I could always tell people that I gave him

291
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 10: his first ride to Victory Lane.

292
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 8: Pretty good stuff, Mike, And obviously one that you know,

293
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 8: Johnny Rutherford, I think has enjoyed that story over the

294
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 8: years as much as you know Tim Richmond, who is

295
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 8: no longer with us, but certainly fans in general just

296
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 8: in reliving that, I've always got the impression of Johnny

297
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 8: Rutherford got to kick out of that story as well.

298
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: Oh.

299
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

300
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: And one of the things about that race, I mean,

301
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 3: let's not forget. I mean, it was pretty much a

302
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 3: foregone conclusion that if the Chaparral didn't break down, Johnny

303
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: Rutherford was going to win that race. He was the

304
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: class of the field. And so that's the memorable moment

305
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: from that race is Johnny Rutherford. In fact, the painting

306
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: that they did every year for the race is those two.

307
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: You know, they called it the Champ and the Rookie,

308
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: and it's those two riding toward Victory Lane. And that's

309
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: the memorable moment of the races came after the race.

310
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: So I think Johnny has always enjoyed that moment, and

311
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: you could tell Tim Richmond enjoyed that moment as well.

312
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 8: Richmond would only go on to run nine championship level

313
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 8: races in IndyCar and a huge crash at Michigan later

314
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 8: in that nineteen eighty seven or excuse me nineteen eighty

315
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 8: season obviously played I think a part in his decision

316
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 8: to step away and get out of IndyCars.

317
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you the nickname that I when I

318
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 4: first went to Indianapolis was Captain Quick, and then it

319
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 4: soon became Captain Crunch, And I mean, honestly, I liked

320
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: the way my feet were porny.

321
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 8: See again, the sense of humor, Mike from Tim Richmond.

322
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 8: That's the reason why he became such an engaging personality.

323
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

324
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 3: I mean he was the life of the party at

325
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: all the different things he was involved with, and he

326
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: was very quick with a joke, and he was The

327
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 3: thing I liked about Tim Richmond is everybody was Tim

328
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: Richmond's friend. I mean, you didn't have to know him,

329
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: and I'll talk about that later in the show. You

330
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: didn't really have to know him, but he made you

331
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: feel like he was a friend of yours, you know,

332
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: So we'll talk about that a little later in the show.

333
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: But that's just the kind of guy he was.

334
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 8: Speedway history in Emeritis. Donald Davidson on Tim Richmond's short

335
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 8: career in Indianapolis IndyCar racing.

336
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 10: Basically at Indianapolis he had two starts nineteen eighty and

337
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 10: eighty one, and he was from Ashland Over and drove

338
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 10: USAC sprint cars and in fact it was a division

339
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 10: called Mini Indie for a short time, which was basically

340
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 10: supervis and he won one of those, and I think

341
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 10: that was like seventy eight or seventy nine. But he

342
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 10: was also and that's you know, rearrangine cars and small

343
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 10: rearrangine cars. But he was also drove sprints quite successfully,

344
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 10: and I remember him around quite a bit in seventy

345
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 10: eight and seventy nine, and in seventy nine he pulled

346
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 10: a bit of a coupe. I remember that he went

347
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 10: to the five hundred victory banquet. Now he had not

348
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 10: had a ride for the five hundred yet, but he

349
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 10: went to the victory banquet and his date were the

350
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 10: three Hears girls. It was Linda Vaughan and I think

351
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 10: June Cark and I don't remember who the third one was,

352
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 10: and I thought, boy, is that guy an operator? He's

353
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 10: showing up with the three Hears girls. There's his date

354
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 10: and hasn't even been in the race yet. Well, he

355
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 10: was a very refreshing newcomer in nineteen eighty and drove

356
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 10: for team. Actually, I think the team was underwritten by

357
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 10: his father.

358
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,760

650
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,280

Speaker 8: one would HAVE, aids which is What Tim richmond would,

652
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 8: acquire there were a lot of, questions not only about

653
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 8: WHAT aids, was but also About Tim, richmond and it

654
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 8: would create some challenges for him in his.

655
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 6: Career, yeah a lot of.

656
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 3: Questions but there was a lot of as you, said

657
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: paranoia and a lot of really terrible things happened in that.

658
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: Timeframe you, know he tried to race at one, point you,

659
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: know he got he got banned BY nascar for testing

660
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 3: positive for sudo fed and advil because basically they were

661
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: trying to out his. Condition they wanted him to reveal

662
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: that he HAD aids because they basically didn't want him

663
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: around and they wanted to out. Him and so they

664
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: concocted this drug test and said that he, had you,

665
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 3: know tested positive for. Drugs, well he hadn't tested positive for.

666
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: Drugs he tested. Posit if we're taking SUIT i fed an,

667
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: advil which are, legal you can buy them over the counter,

668
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: Obviously and so it was really unfortunate what, happened you,

669
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: know it was it was a ridiculous attempt to out his,

670
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: condition to be candid with, you and and it was

671
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: just it was just sad all, around you, KNOW i

672
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: mean the way it was, handled you, know BY. NASCAR

673
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 3: i think they admitted later that they should have handled it.

674
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 3: Differently but as you, said there was a lot of,

675
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: paranoia but there were also a lot of THINGS i

676
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: think we need to take from it that were there

677
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: were people that were In tim's corner that were really

678
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 3: good to, him people Like Kyle, petty people Like Dale

679
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 3: earnhardt who would always sit with him at the driver's

680
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 3: meeting and showed that they weren't afraid to sit With

681
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 3: Tim richmond because people knew that there was something, wrong

682
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: and people knew that he had something that was going.

683
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: On but you know that always stood by, Him people

684
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 3: Like Kyle, petty people Like Dale, Earnhart they always stood by,

685
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: him and SO i, think you, know we can take

686
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 3: a lesson from the fact that those people were there

687
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 3: For Tim.

688
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,000
