Hurley

Description

Product Description In the world of 1970s motor racing, Hurley Haywood was cool, calm, and collected. A five-time 24 Hours of Daytona winner, three-time Le Mans winner and Trans-Am champion, Haywood was a Hollywood archetype: a strikingly handsome man brought up by an affluent Midwestern family. Yet Haywood was often overshadowed by racing partner and volatile mentor, Peter Gregg- the Batman to his Robin - whose abrupt death in 1980 shook the sport to its core. And yet Haywood had secrets of his own. With deft use of archival footage and exclusive interviews featuring actor and fellow racer, Patrick Dempsey, Hurley reveals a greater insight into Haywood's tightrope walk between career and sexuality, while posing the question - will motorsport ever be ready for openly LGBT racers? About the Actor Hurley Haywood is an American race-car driver. Hurley has won multiple events, including five overall victories at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, three at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and two at the 12 Hours of Sebring
