RANDY LANIER was a motor racing champion who won Rookie of the Year at the 1986 Indy500. Born in rural Virginia, Lanier dreamed of becoming a race driver from the first time he heard a live broadcast of the Indy500 on the radio. Lanier and his close associates began to smuggle in the drug from the Bahamas and his operation grew and grew. Lanier was already an amateur racer by the time he became a drug kingpin but his career never took off. Lanier fulfilled his childhood dream of racing the Indy500 in 1986 where he placed ninth – the highest ranking rookie in the race.
