Donnie Allison Shares Stories About Life-Changing Wrecks He and Brother Bobby Had | Dale Jr Download

[@billplace5321]

Dale Jr is the best interviewer in all of sport. Ask the right question and sit back and let the guest go. All the so-called late show idiots could learn a lot from watching this

[@428eliminator3]

Man that Family gave/sacrificed so much to the sport.

[@psinclairjr]

So true, Bobby and Judy gave everything, Donnie watched his beloved brother suffer

[@debrawardlaw4558]

RIP Davey & Clifford Not Forgotten.

[@tritontransport]

That family are great role models about how to live your life through both the good times and the bad times

No matter how badass you think you are,,, you'll never be Donnie Allison badass!

[@amycollins9657]

Love the older drivers that made the sport. The REAL MEN❤️

[@MonteD1]

These guys were tough.

[@psinclairjr]

Donnie is a hell of a story teller, he is a tresure we need to appreciate. I could listen to the man talk all day

[@audiemccall5332]

I spent some time with Donnie at Charlotte in the early 80s . I didn’t have credentials or a pit pass on a Saturday before the Bush race . I was there with some friends that used to handle Toro mowing equipment and they were meeting wit Humpy and Bruton about giving the pole winner a mower so they handed me off to Donnie . He said come on big boy your my body guard and like magic he walked right into garage where he stopped and talked to all the drivers in there . Even Dale sr. I left there that day and felt like one of the family and that was exactly what the garage was a family. Ordinary guys with extraordinary talent. I love them all !

[@wesknipp]

Oh man that is cool as hell!!!

[@dannyharris5310]

Met him and his brother.. great guys

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Allison family went through some hell through the years amazing family though loved the Allison boys Davey was my driver broke my heart when he got killed 😭

[@_cameronjohnson__]

Donnie is such a bad ass this was one of the best interviews y’all have done

[@kurtfoulke5130]

Amazing memory ! This family has seen tragedy beyond comprehension and they have never lost their faith.

[@yancyjenkinssr1824]

Amen

[@BanditVanWoert]

Donnie's Right..... Sitting in the Tractor Seat looking down the hood as your working field or going for a ride down the road is THE BEST THERAPY in the World!!!!

[@craigparrish3582]

Bobby , Donnie, Eddie Allison are the folks that console my uncle Sam Sommers after don mactavish tragedy at Daytona. Years ago.. tough good people who have lived through some terrible tragedy's in life.

[@teresagoodwin7458]

@craigparrish3582 I loved watching your Uncle Sam Sommers race every Thursday night at The Old Columbia Speedway in Cayce South Carolina. He was a great race car driver and he was spirited when someone raced him a bit too hard because he would rub them or bump them right back. One night, I wish I could remember who made him really mad and he stopped in turn 3 at an angel where no one could go right in front of the driver he was upset at and he went to the driver's side and got in a few good licks and we in the pits/ infield area and in the stands got our money's worth that night. There wasn't a person young or old that wasn't cheering at the top of their lungs 😂😂PRICELESS TREASURED MEMORIES 🏁🏆🏁 BEST CHILDHOOD EVER AND BACK THEN YOU COULD MIX AND MINGLE WITH EVERY RACE CAR DRIVER THERE AS LONG AS THEY WEREN'T WORKING ON THEIR CAR. SAM SOMMERS, RALPH EARNHARDT, TINY LUND, NED JARRETT, BUCK BAKER, LEE PETTY AND SO MANY MORE. THAT WAS REAL RACING AND THE BEST DIRT TRACK RACING ANYWHERE 🏁 🏆🏁 THE RACE DRIVER'S THEN COULD RACE AN ILL HANDLING CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND HOT AS HADES AND GO FULL THROTTLE FOR A WHOLE RACE NO MATTER HOW MANY LAPS OR MILES THEY WERE RACING. NEVER ONCE DID I EVER HEAR A DRIVER COMPLAIN ABOUT IT WAS TOO HOT, MY CAR JUST WASN'T HANDLING ( THE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN A HANDFUL BUT THEY ALL HAD A NEVER QUIT ATTITUDE. IF IT WAS WRECKED THEY WOULD THROW EVERYTHING AT IT TO KEEP IT GOING AND GET BACK ON THE TRACK. BOY I MISS THOSE DAYS WHEN MEN WERE MEN AND WOMEN WERE WOMEN 🏁🏆🏁🫡🇺🇸🫡🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💞🤗💞

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

What an incredible thing Jr is doing by getting some of these stories recorded for posterity. Fucking awesome!

[@needsaride15126]

Interviews like this, with the originals. Are gold. These stories a person could listen to al afternoon. Great interview, greater storytelling.

[@marknan5352]

What a wonderful interview. Well done Donnie!

[@Mark-pp7jy]

Wonderful conversation with Donnie. The three of them seem totally relaxed, they don't step on each other, and that makes listening very easy. God bless the Allison family.

[@alacran1986]

Pure gold. I never knew this about Donnie. He is right.

[@teresagoodwin7458]

Dale these stories are PRICELESS TREASURED BLESSINGS AND TRULY IRREPLACEABLE. THANK YOU FOR GETTING THESE ORIGINAL DRIVER'S IN NASCAR TO COME IN AND TELL THESE STORIES OF WHAT HAPPENED WAY BACK 🏁🏆🏁💞🤗💞🙏 THERE'S NO WAY TO PRESERVE THE HISTORY OF NASCAR EXCEPT THROUGH THE STORIES COMING FROM THE PEOPLE WHO RACED AND MADE HISTORY. THESE YOUNG KIDS DRIVING NOW COULDN'T DRIVE A RACE LIKE THESE PRECIOUS GUYS DID,400-600 MILES OR LAPS WITH ILL HANDLING CARS AND BURNING HOT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY WAY TO COOL THEMSELVES BACK THEN. PLEASE KEEP THESE AMAZING TREASURED BLESSINGS COMING BECAUSE THEY ARE HISTORICAL AND MEMORIES FOR FOREVER 🏁🏆🏁💞🤗💞🙏🙏 MANY DRIVER'S RACED HURT AND THEY DIDN'T WHINE OR CRY BECAUSE THEY ARE REAL MEN JUST LIKE YOUR PRECIOUS GRANDDADDY RALPH AND YOUR PRECIOUS DAD THE ONE AND ONLY THE INTIMIDATOR THE BEST PERSON TO EVER DRIVE A RACE CAR 🏁🏆🏁 NOBODY CAN EVER TOP YOUR PRECIOUS DAD'S ABILITY TO RACE WHATEVER CAR BE WAS IN AND WHETHER HE WAS HURT,HE STILL STRAPPED IN TO RACE¡! THE BEST DRIVER EVER "THE INTIMIDATOR" . 💞🤗💞🏁🏆🏁🙏🙏🙏

[@papasmodelcarroom8450]

DAM!!!!! I love listening to my racing heroes stories.

[@M_R_Sumbigguns]

Donnie and Pat are some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet! One of my racing heroes, for sure!!

[@americonoffroadadventures8132]

Tremendous interview. Love the Old Timers.

[@Wklambert]

One of my favorite things about "Becoming Earnhardt" is that Dale not only has emphasis on his father, but not just that, it's an inside story of the sport back then. As crazy as it is today, it was incredibly spirited and nuanced back then. The people in the sport were characters of an almost forgotten time. It's important we remember where we came from. We learn from our past. The story being told is an incredible one, and I can't wait for ep. 4!

[@rjs2005]

I saw Bobby at the Charlotte Auto Fair earlier this year. I wasn't sure what to expect, but other than his voice being low and quiet, he still seemed sharp. I have a lot of autographs from my racing heroes, and I treasure his as much as anyone. I'd sure like to meet Donnie some day.

[@oldermusiclover]

read his book, and his brothers if you never had

[@briancanterberry3085]

I was there too. Im from Alabama and was wearing an Alabama Crimson Tide. He noticed that and gave me a "ROLL TIDE!!"

[@Irish_For_Life1842]

You belonged in a top car. Loved seeing you race. There is nothing like the old racing stories. Whether it is you, Ned Jarret, Richard Petty etc. all y'all are PRICELESS.

[@raypencosky8296]

From the 1st time I watched Bobby race at Heidelberg Raceway in the mid 60s he was my hero. He still is a hero to me today.

[@bobbydevine2154]

God I Love these stories~~~They are the History of our sport!!!

[@larrycook4632]

I love the old school guys. The Allison’s were true race car drivers. That’s all the Allison’s. Tuff as nails.

[@evelynhughes951]

Great show, thanks.

[@michaelharrison6978]

As a lil boy i got to watch the 79 Daytona 500 Live i was so happy i got to see the 1st whole race live! Will never forget it because i was pulling for cale an got mad when the brothers was gonna tag team an whip his ass which cale deserved. Wound up being a Davey Allison fan when he finished second to his dad. Broke my heart when davey died. Alabama gang the best this sport ever Had!

[@gregorygolden1296]

Donnie could sure get around Palm Beach Fairgrounds Speedway. He did better than any of the other NASCAR drivers who tried to outrun the legends who ran there weekly....Crowe, Brack, Balough, Tissot, Anderson, Connors....there were so many great drivers who ran there. GOD BLESS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

[@TonyWud]

Not many families have given as much to automobile racing as the Allisons. And the worst ass-whipping I ever got was when I tried to break up a fight between 2 brothers.

[@CrossSavedCollectibles]

We use to go to Huts and Pams barn for New Years party. They had music and all and Bobby would always be up there dancing on the stage. Every one of them are so super nice.

[@andrewcurry3332]

I met Donnie and Bobby over the years. They were ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

[@christophercastor6666]

This interview is one of the most heartfelt and sincere conversations I’ve ever experienced. Dale and Mike have become the pinnacle of Motorsport stewardship and historical preservation. Thank you to everyone at Dirty Mo for providing us with the opportunity to learn about the roots of American Motorsport. Please keep doing what you guys obviously love!

[@steveharmon9000]

Gosh Dang. I've never watched a Jr. Download I didn't love. What a show. What a guy.

[@rickarra1833]

So cool to see Donnie

[@rusellfoel2336]

Hey love all the drivers and your DAD I have been watching racing for years and I have been to a couple in North Carolina. Dale the 79 rebel race showed how many GODS of the sport were putting there lives on the line. Hey I loved SENNA F1 driver and I still cry today looking at some stuff on UTUBE but I appreciate you trying to keep the sport alive. Hey no disrespect I don’t have much time for it now because to me being born in 1966 this was the days that we as human beings were going through the best times in my mind. I know we had wars but I think racing helped me get through the troubled times that we were going through. Dale I appreciate your support and hope your pod cast last as long as possible . Greenville North Carolina Bess you and your family be safe and stay strong and enjoy your family. Hey I have always tried to be myself and honest about life . That’s how I was raised in life and I’m trying to get through this day and age????

They don’t make guys like this anymore !

[@fishhuntadventure]

Sure they do- you just haven’t met them. Racing ain’t about performance anymore, like in kenny wallace’s interview with KB: it’s about who brings the money. So the ‘natural risers’ aren’t the same pool anymore.

[@tomarnett5686]

Mike,please tell us where we can get one of those Alabama Gang Caps at.

[@wesknipp]

these guys were tough, and there isn't many of these guys left

[@shanew.williams]

Donnie skipped ahead several years telling of driving son Kenny's Busch series car. BEFORE that, like about 1982 Donnie was running a plain #1 All Pro car at BIR (Birmingham). He was sponsered by a chiropractor. He was GREAT in that car & one night there at BIR he finished a very close, hard fought 2nd place to Rusty Wallace i think.

[@brettcooley6284]

I was at that 1982 race too.👍

[@malikdigger4544]

Donnie Alison never gave up in from horrible wreck in 81 but all Alison race car drivers where tough men & still sad what happened to Davey Allison in 93 past away from helicopter crash.

[@paulmatthews463]

Nothing against jrs driving ability, but hes a better interviewer and does his homework

[@EricCox4848]

I always wanted to hear stories of the Alabama Gang. But 1979 at Daytona would always be disputed between Bobby, Donnie, and Cale.

[@ImmaWright]

One thing I noticed in this interview is everything was someone else's fault 😂

[@munafo13]

He really had to get in that Patty Moise caused that wreck at Daytona, didn't he?!?!?! ;-)

[@CC-mt7qh]

I was there she did cause that wreck and yes he would have won that race

[@rusellfoel2336]

Sir I’m trying to say I think it’s going to come out about the 79 race. Dale is trying to do something for the fans and I don’t think it’s going to come court. I’m 57 and I’m retired from Gregory Poole and I’m trying to look at what Dale is doing and I don’t care about who’s fault it is. I loved Cale and talked to him and Donnie .

[@waggtech4883]

Alright. Jordan 7, Hamster 0. When Jordan lost he out it on himself. When hamster loses, it's always someone else's fault. When others do to him the same he does, NASCAR "needs to get control of the drivers/cars/officials". Hamster needs to get doored.
