Hurley
Hurley Haywood was a cool, serene racer in the 1970s. Five-time 24 Hours of Daytona winner, three-time Le Mans winner, and Trans-Am champion, Haywood was a Hollywood archetype: a gorgeous man from the Midwest. Haywood was often eclipsed by racing partner and mentor Peter Gregg, whose 1980 suicide shocked the sport to its core. Yet Haywood had secrets. He remained evasive about his personal life despite several interactions with women, including public appearances with Penthouse models. With archive film and exclusive interviews with actor and racer Patrick Dempsey, Hurley shows Haywood's delicate balance between career and sexuality, while asking if racing will ever be ready for openly LGBT competitors.
