He's cooler than anyone I have seen in NASCAR and I have just now been introduced to him through this video. I only knew the name before. I have loved it NASCAR for 20 years (way less after the chase ruined it) and watched it in the early 80s when it wasn't on much so I couldn't learn all about it like in later years when all races were televised. He's the kind of guy u meet once and figure out bevause he is an open book and the kind of guy that you'd be stuck with throughout life because he really loves people. What a killer dude. His son seems like a real good guy too.
This video was released 4yrs. ago but Randy died in a plane crash enroute to Martinsville about 20 years ago. Rick lost his brother, his 2 nieces and his son Richard III bka Ricky and some senior HMS members / friends. The HMS drivers weren't informed until after the Sunday Cup race. 1 of the HMS cars did win. 1 of Randy's last engines was a special order for Jimmie Johnson's personal, restored Camaro.
Thanks for breaking it down,my friends cult day of thunder,when I call him on the phone and say what are u doing,he answer eat ice cream, wwwhhaat,eating ice cream....on my truck on the back window I want to put Coles face and the words hit the pace car....hit the pace car.....u know the rest....THANKS
Yeah the funniest part is when I used to tell people ESPN the television coverage is excellent and they used that in the movie I was stunned because I always say that and it was....they had cameras everywhere.....except the bathrooms...JK...
Thank God for that - when Old Millwalkie sponsored Tim Richmond still - or maybe as soon as he drove the Folgers car.. I loose track of these things, I'm pretty sure it was at Pocono where I spent the last 40 laps passed out under the trough the men pissed in [in the so called bathrooms] sound asleep.... too much Colt 45 malt liquor !! although I'm sure i was a sight to behold down under there !!!
Tim Richmond was a driver. Tim Davey Allison and Richie Evans probably would have doubled petty or Earnhardt for wins had they lived to finish their career. And I don't doubt the greatest drivers of their class
@@ballzmahonee5645 ,They would've never come close to doubling Earnhardt's win total,much less Petty's.If you extrapolate Davey Allison's career,He was on pace for 40-50 wins and maybe one championship(two at the very most).Richmond,as talented as he was,only had one great year after being a journeyman driver early in his career.They were both great drivers,just not all-time great like Earnhardt and Petty are recognized to be.
We should cherish these stories and people because the days of the good ole boys are gone sadly. And nascar wonders what went wrong, now you have to be politically correct and look like a Hollywood star. So far away from the roots of what got nascar started and the popularity it gained. Hope everyone out there is doing good and staying safe 👍🇺🇸
Randy Dorton was also a legend in his own right. I understand the loss of Dale Earnhardt being such a terrible thing but for those of us who have lived the life behind the scenes the plane crash that claimed Randy, Ricky the other Hendrick employees and family was s bigger loss to stock car racing than could be imagined by a casual fan.
Yeah I didn't have a doubt me and muscle friends gotta kick out of that,but I would have ever thought that it was Benny Parsons on the driving end....that's the most startling part but I could see a crew chief being pissed off that the car was torn up they put a lot of time into getting those car ready for one race 20 hours days and stuff...but wonder what BP did to get no pit stop...tore the car up may be and they were down to their last car and parts...never know thanks....my friends favorite part is every time he see me coming he say no no no ,no what race car drivers,don't want none don't need none....I say what the hell are u talking about....huh....the movie was real good I was just hoping there was a real Harry Hyde....the rest of the character s were a whole bunch of everyone I didn't see a lot of Tim so I had forgot the great Folgers car nut I remember him battling and beat Dale a few times,that much I remember,I almost died in a car accident in 1987....so I missed a little bit of life,well just forgot it...THANKS funny thing is the main character was really a double spin kinda Jeff Gordon but it was really Tim Richmond the movie did tribute both Jeff and Tim,but most of all Harry's charecter stole the show....I thought Cruise did a good job also.....but yeah my and I thought the ice cream part was priceless....me I hate seatbelts so whenever I'm stopping my car I start laughing when ever I undo my seat belt fast I start looking out the window to go beat Harry up....hah hah
Kellie Tim was beyond measure, I started following him when Old Millwalkie was his sponsor, but once he got into that Folgers car the rest was history.... I watch Days Of Thunder my friend Larry Shefts of blessed memory told me that was about Tim Richmond when it came out but it took me decades before I actually saw it.... 87 was one wild year, believe me !!
Harry and Smokey, 2 guys who forced NASCAR to rewrite the rule book. True legends.
👍👍👍
That's what I love about them both....Harry and Smokey are the best
Don't forget NASCAR's original Jr.
I remember Harry. Great guy. He and Bobby Isaac made a great team…. Nord knew it.
Harry Hyde and Tim Richmond, gosh those where the days !!!!
Listening to Harry Hyde talk about tire temps tells me that he's the inspiration for "Days of Thunder" and the Robert Duvall character.
Harry Hogge and Cole Trickle were based on Harry Hyde and Tim Richmond
Harry Hyde was right there with Smokey Yunick and Junior Johnson in developing sneaky ways to circumvent the NASCAR rule book.

These were the days of nascar today it's no fun
Sure miss the SPEED Channel ...
The original, Speedvision, was superior.
Diamond P sports was shit miss those days
sorry ment Diamond P was the shit TNN was great
@James Williams ,Fox bought it and changed the name to FS1 if memory serves me correctly.
David Humphrey It does! You are correct

Thanks for the memories Harry. Had a model car of the#71 Daytona in 69, been hooked on Chargers & NASCAR since.
"As you know in racing, you're not cheating until you get caught..."
Very intelligent fellow he was.
Never meet Harry, wished I had.
Thanks for breaking it down,my friends cult day of thunder,when I call him on the phone and say what are u doing,he answer eat ice cream, wwwhhaat,eating ice cream....on my truck on the back window I want to put Coles face and the words hit the pace car....hit the pace car.....u know the rest....THANKS
Yup !!! Totally................
Just heard that Days of Thunder was made with Harry in mind! Forget Tom Cruise although he's in it, Harry was the Man!
Tom cruise was portraying Tim Richmond.....
@@mrcontroversy222 Kool, have to look him up, am not from USA so know little of the sport. The early races are Wild
Robert Duvall nailed that role as Harry
Bobby Isaac
RIP, great man!
I wonder if the teleprompter say "pause for dramtatic effect"?
Yeah the funniest part is when I used to tell people ESPN the television coverage is excellent and they used that in the movie I was stunned because I always say that and it was....they had cameras everywhere.....except the bathrooms...JK...

Isn't the Robert Duvall character on Days of Thunder based on Harry Hyde? Has to be
Yes.
Thanks Hoss
He did a good job too.
Harry
Cole trickle is Tim Richmond. Rumor has it, Tom Cruise wanted dale Sr. To play rowdy burns but he turned it down.
Days of thunder
I've never seen this show..
Short lived series on Speed before Fox Sports took over. I will post other episodes in the future.
Tim Richman would dirt track drive an asphalt car and make it work

Music's too damn loud.
I find it weird that they never mentioned his time with Cole Trickle, Did they have some kind of falling out?
@Big Rich
He was joking, did that ever occur to you ?
Cant talk about it on TV
🚘🏁🙋♂️
Hate that annoying too loud background music.
Me too Old School!!!

Kellie Nicole Brooks Schettino-What in the Wide World of Sports is the purpose of your long winded diatribe of pure nonsensical jabber?
I was wondering what all the nonsense talking was about my self. Must have smoked some killer shit

Ricky Rudd and Dale Earnhardt was the ones who nascar made drive to a Italian restaurant together and Tim was supposed to be Richard Childress
Really makes me hate today’s nascar
Harry was guite a guy
9o
Obnoxious music is way too loud.
MOST LIKELY THEY ARE NOT COUNTRY
