The lore of NASCAR legend Tim Richmond is full of unforgettable moments from one of the most ostentatiousdrivers in the sports history. Still, nothing personifies Richmonds grit, determination, and skill more than the Summer500 in July of 1986 at Pocono Raceway.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver had already won the seasons previous race at the 2.5-mile Tricky Triangle, so hewas already a favorite to win again in the Pennsylvania mountains. Those mountains threw a challenge to Richmondand the rest of the field, as mist and fog plagued the event. Richmond was battling near the front of the field when hefound himself in the middle of a three-wide battle. Contact ensued and Richmonds No. 25 Folgers Chevrolet was sentfor a spin and was slammed into by another competitor.
Richmond drove his car to pit road backwards and went tothe attention of his Harry Hyde-led crew. Repairs were extensive, but Richmond went back on track and immediatelyshowed he wouldnt be deterred.Richmond had been working his way back towards the front of the field when the fog was deemed to be too dense andthe race was shortened by 50 laps. From that point, Richmond wasted little time getting to the front and began to challengehis Hendrick Motorsports teammate side-by-side for the lead as the white flag was displayed. He lost the lead inturn two, but drove back to the inside of his teammate with the checkered flag in the air. The two remained door-to-door at the finish line, with Richmond being declared the winner by mere inches.
