NASCAR Fans to Honor Tim Richmond at Watkins Glen
Quote selected text Published August 9th, 2006 in NASCAR NewsFans with an eye to the sky Sunday morning prior to the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen likely are going to see an unusual banner being towed by plane.
The banner’s message in the air above the road course in the mountains of New York state’s Southern Tier won’t be an advertisement for some company or product.
Instead, it will read, “Tim Richmond We Miss You–Your Fans.”
The banner is the idea of Mark Weaver, who lives near the Glen, along with Walt and Brenda Wombough of Neptune, N.J., and other friends, all of whom remain fans of the driver who died of AIDS on Aug. 13, 1989.
It’s a play off the banner that Richmond had towed over Daytona International Speedway in February of 1988 after NASCAR officials barred him from competing in the Daytona 500, ostensibly because of a failed drug test.
That banner read: “Fans I Miss You–Tim Richmond.”
