00:00Every racing driver sacrifices in some element of their life.

00:11Back in the early 70s, Hurley was like a superhero.

00:14He did things that nobody else had ever done.

00:16He could take any car and drive it at the limit.

00:19If you'd ever cast a racing car driver in a movie, it would be Hurley Haywood.

00:24My name's Hurley Haywood. Come on with me and let's go for a ride.

00:28The fame came by surprise. He was like an overnight rock star.

00:33He just was the real deal.

00:35To me, Hurley Haywood is a legend.

00:37He's a quintessential race car driver, without question.

00:42For Hurley, driving was a relief of sorts.

00:45It gave him his identity that he couldn't have off the track.

00:49I was sponsored by Penthouse Magazine.

00:52Handsome race car driver, beautiful model.

00:55Hurley, how old?

00:56I am 31.

00:58Unmarried?

00:59Unmarried.

01:01As long as I was able to hold my foot down longer than the guy next door to me,

01:10This is the first time I've talked about this to anybody, publicly.

01:16On the one hand, he's a sizzling hot racing driver.

01:20And on the other hand, he was the antithesis of that.

01:24Racing, for me, it's like a fragile love story.

01:27There's a person that stands behind him or her that helps support.

01:32It's not easy to talk about.

01:35He did what he had to do in order to survive at that time.

01:38It's almost like, how did he do this?

01:40The best kept secret in motor racing.

01:43It's time to be vocal about it, and I just didn't want to lie about it anymore.

01:49It isn't always about winning the race.

01:52Sometimes it's about being true to yourself.
