Hurley
Hurley Haywood was a calm, collected driver in the 1970s motor racing world. Haywood was a Hollywood archetype: a breathtakingly gorgeous man brought up by a good Midwestern family. He was a five-time 24 Hours of Daytona winner, three-time Le Mans winner, and Trans-Am champion. However, Haywood's racing companion and turbulent mentor, Peter Gregg—the Batman to his Robin—was frequently eclipsed by his unexpected suicide in1980, which shocked the sport to its core. Haywood, on the other hand, had his own dark secrets. He remained evasive about his personal life despite several interactions with women, some of which involved public appearances alongside Penthouse models. Hurley shows more about Haywood's balancing walk between profession and sexuality, while addressing the question of whether racing will ever be ready for openly LGBT racers, via savvy use of historical material and exclusive interviews with actor and fellow racer Patrick Dempsey.
