Breaking Down Hendrick Motorsports
By Katie Copple
Tim Richmond (1986-1987): Bringing the Hendrick Motorsports fleet to a total of two cars, Tim Richmond was a major asset to the organization during his first season in the No.25. Reaching Victory Lane a total of seven times in 1986, Richmond only ran one full season with HMS. He missed the beginning of the 1987 season due to AIDS, while publicly saying he was suffering from pneumonia but won two times that year after he returned to the series.
