J.D.: : The Life and Death of a Forgotten NASCAR Legend

August 11, 1991. Watkins Glen, New York. 52-year-old John Delphus â€œJ.D.â€ McDuffie, Jr. climbs aboard his No. 70 Pontiac, lined up 35th on the grid for NASCARâ€™s Budweiser at the Glen. For the 653rd time, he pinches a cigar between his teeth and fires the engine. Few take notice of No. 70 as it rolls onto the 2.428-mile road course - only a small group of volunteers, fans, and family back home in Sanford, North Carolina. Even they knew McDuffie had never won a NASCAR race, and likely never would before the big-money teams squeezed him out of the sport. But no one knew that just five laps later, McDuffie would be dead, killed in a terrible two-car accident with fellow racer Jimmy Means.

â€œJ.D.: The Life and Death of a Forgotten NASCAR Legendâ€ tells the true story of J.D. McDuffie, one of stock car racingâ€™s most beloved owner-drivers. Itâ€™s the tale of a man who honed his skills as a mechanic and built his own team from the ground-up, his No. 70 banging fenders with the likes of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. Itâ€™s also about the close-knit group of supporters who came together to make sure McDuffie made it to the track in a rapidly-changing sport. And itâ€™s about that tragic weekend at Watkins Glen, the investigation that followed, and the legacy heâ€™s left behind. Top to bottom, itâ€™s one of the most comprehensive stories of any race car driver, and a tribute to NASCARâ€™s blue-collar past.
