[@davidh1249]

The loss of both Clifford and Davey Allison was a crushing blow to the Nascar community,For Bobby Allison to suffer such an unthinkable tragedy and still have the courage to continue being involved in the sport speaks volumes about the great man he is.

[@josephswaim8491]

I laughed. I cried. I wanted to hear more. That's the definition of a great interview.

[@Nathan-bd6cq]

Jeff Mattel Jesus, who pissed in your cereal?

[@mikegrey5663]

@Jeff Mattel yeah we did with the bit talking about Davey,

[@ChuckHickl]

Was going to type the same. Well said sir.

[@neilperry2224]

That was quite an emotional show, and Kyle was humble and open about his feeling's for the Allison brothers and the loss if the three boys. It was quite hard at the end to watch the emotions on their faces.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

It's still hard to believe Bobby survived the '88 Pocono crash with such severe brain injuries.

[@jennifursun3303]

@@AndyFromBeaverton i know i wonder if he will get that brain disease that all the athlites are dying of I hope not

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

@@jennifursun3303 I would think if he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), he would have had signs by now. A lot of athletes that I have seen with CTE have had it by their 60's.

[@covid19survivor93]

Yeah the emotions were real

[@tomthomson9354]

I grew up watching Richard Petty and Bobby Allison race, and later Kyle and Davey. I got to meet Bobby, Davey, and Kyle back in the 80’s. Both families were my favorites. In the summer of 91, I was dealing with a bout with cancer at age 18. I saw Bobby at an autograph session and he talked with me a little bit about what I was going through. He gave me words of encouragement and advice. Just a genuinely nice guy. I have never forgotten that moment. Losing Clifford and Davey as a race fan was hard. Years later, when it was announced that Adam was going to move up, I was excited and then the crash happened. Felt for Kyle and Patty as I did for Bobby and Judy. Watching this episode was fun but sad too. These two families contributed heavily to my racing memories. I’m glad that they had this episode.

[@anthonyrschmitz5182]

Kyle Petty is preserving the stories of yester year with these interviews.

[@chrisjones3649]

Kyle does the best interviews I think. Such history with his family and those that raced during that period of time. Keep it up Kyle we love you!

[@lindaowens2657]

My husband grew up in Wilkes county he absolutely loves Nascar he loves the Allison's Petty's and he has a favorite person his name is junior johnson.he went to his race shop when it was in angle hollar on hwy 421 his dad also was a moonshiner just like juniors dad.junior was always kind to him when he was a young man and he has never forgot it .God bless junior Bobby Donnie and Richard .

[@curtisstevensonjr.8990]

R.I.P. Junior Johnson

[@dandelly4269]

I agree. Kyle Petty is a walking Nascar Encyclopedia. It started with him as a baby being at the track and it has never ended. It's been his whole life and he has so much to over in stories that have never been told. I'd love to see a coffee with Kyle that has Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, The Allisons, Darrell Waltrip and any other drivers of that era all together. Especially since Kyle also raced against them all makes it even more interesting. He has seen them through the eyes of a kid to the eyes of a competitor....

[@ChuckHickl]

Like Dale Jr., living in the shadows of legends gives them a unique perspective on the sport.

[@rickhauser9698]

One of the most powerful interviews I’ve ever seen. Great jobs by Kyle, Bobby and Donnie. God bless them all❤️

[@adcoxrobert3786]

I'm blessed to have grown up watching these great drivers. Petty, Allison, Pearson, Yarborough, and so many others. I love that these guys are all family in spirit.

[@Dave507]

Kyle I'm about 6 months older than you. While you grew up with a racing family, I grew up watching and IDOLIZING your family. When your Dad took down the pit wall at Darlington and me watching it on ABC Wide World of Sports I was HOOKED! My point is, I've lived as close as possible to know as much as I could about The Pettys! CRIED for years over Adam! My 2 daughters called me that day worried about me! Even my ex- wife was concerned! This interview is beyond words! Touching doesn't give it enough credit for what it means to me!! Thank You and God for KZbin! P.S. Saw Stroker Ace last night again! lol Loved your cameo! Big thumbs UP!!! Long Live the PETTYS!!!

[@MrDannyboyhall]

Oh my two fathers talking about the biggest loss a parent can have is heartbreaking I don't know how Bobby dealt with losing his two boys in such a short period of time is heartbreaking beyond belief I feel for both Bobby and Kyle

[@jan3195]

Great interview, Kyle! Still makes me cry to hear about Davey, Clifford and Adam. Three wonderful young men taken way too soon.

[@theanomalous1401]

I was impressed with the entire history of the Allison brothers racing history. I didn't know much about Donnies' and I thought I knew more about Bobbys' than what's out there. I'm more of an Allison fan because of this story. Thanks to Kyle and NBC Motorsports for this story.

[@johnmartin2518]

OMG!!! Love, love, LOVE this interview!! The history between these two gentlemen, and with Kyle is truly amazing!! Kyle Petty is quickly becoming one of my favorite voices of Nascar because I know he loves this sport as much as I do, and the respect that he has for not only what the Petty family has done, but what folks like the Allisons did as well. Long live the Alabama Gang!

[@MrTriked]

Excellent job Kyle. Thank you for taking the time to talk to these two legends of the sport. It's great to hear their side of the story while they are still here to tell it.

[@bugs8484]

One of the most heartfelt interviews I have ever seen. I have no idea the pain and suffering these men went through.

[@johnwhitaker2552]

GREAT INTERVIEW! The Allison Brothers obviously were born with the talent to be great race drivers which I never realized before this interview.

[@wysetech2000]

I'm a Canadian and been a Nascar fan for over 50 years. I can still see Bobby Allison flying his own plane into Cayuga (now Jukasa) Speedway in Ontario Canada to race a few special races driving the Chevy Coke machine. Most everyone ran on the bottom there but Bobby ran around the top and set a new track record. I remember shaking Bobby's hand every time he was there. Just a great guy! When i think about the pain i still feel when i remember the awesome young Sons these men lost, it's impossible to believe they survived it all. Bless these 3 men for the pain they still have and for all the enjoyment they still give us today.

[@chriskaczmarek7204]

Kyle what a great interview. So genuine and real. Should be in the National Archive! I cried. My old heroes were the best!!!

[@davidrobertson969]

Kyle what a wonderful heart warming interview and thanks for bringing Bobby and Donnie back to us. I have been a NASCAR fan for 56 years and remember the times when racing was a family sport. Keep it coming.

[@TheDjdonnie68]

That was awesome. I can't think of a better way to spend 30 minutes. I respect all 3 of these guys more having watched that. Such a relaxed interview.

[@charleshaynes613]

This could be the best interview/chat I have ever watched.

[@markr831]

This has to be the best interview I have ever watched on youtube. Two good families - good people.

[@MrT5mustang]

Davey was my friend, Bobby was always a great storyteller... Donnie was always a jokester... After the crash... and the death... Bobby was never the same. I miss going to Hueytown and visiting with them.

[@RiverBanks38]

When the Allison’s raced that was the heyday of nascar racing. Them and all the others were the legends!!! They had the tempers you see at the Saturday nite races!!! Wish we had that today!!

[@BashedCars]

Does not get any better than this. So much joy.. so much pain. Love all you guys. Well done Kyle.

[@paulbryant142]

[@edwardbaker8225]

I tell you right now that Allison Brothers Bobby Donnie Eddie and the whole entire family is some of the greatest people that ever lived you will never find race car drivers like these two ever again one-of-a-kind. I enjoy watching Bobby and Donnie race all my life.

[@Probowler37]

What a fantastic interview. Very touching moments with Kyle and Bobby talking about their sons.

Kyle these interviews are just over the top and this is my favorite one so far. It was hard not getting a little emotional when describing the huge losses to both families. Thank you !

[@josephdalia5405]

Amazing! Loved the stories the Allison brothers tell and got some great insight into their Indy experiences. The end brought a tear to my eye as you could feel the pain all three had for their overwhelming losses. The respect between the 2 families is on full display here. Outstanding Kyle and try to get a few more hours with these incredible friends of yours! God bless the Allison's and the Petty's!

[@nazcarcup]

As I met Bobby, he literally made this gesture 👌 toward me and smiled. AWESOME moment

[@mikegrey5663]

Sweet. Bobby seems like he would be a nice guy.

[@tomanderson6335]

I knew about Bobby's appearances in Indy car and Trans Am (most famously in one of Pete Brock's Datsun 510s), but this was the first I heard of him testing a Shadow Can Am car. Great stuff as always, Kyle.

Wow and I thought there would never be an episode better than The King and Dale Inman one just because of the absolute coolness of it. Then today seeing Bobby and Donnie on the show completely blew me away. The excitement the laughter the tears. So great to see for fact. Winston Cup racing was racing but a family environment as well. This episode will always be special

[@paulwells4203]

Wow Kyle I just discovered your Coffee with Kyle series and I will watch all of them. The one with the Allisons was meaningful, heart felt and showed the people behind the famous names. Thanks for doing such a great job interviewing. You ask the right question, then wait. And the answers you get are usually moving and deep. People trust you and you put them at ease. Thats why you get the "I've never told anybody this before but..." answers. Big fan, thanks for doing this Kyle

[@paulpeacock5079]

Awesome! I was so fortunate to have sat down with Bobby in Daton Ohio for an hour or more at an autograph signing session, I just happened to be up there on Air Force business it was a fluke that I was even there. It was one of the most memorable times of my life. He says to me and my friend "Why don't you guys come back here and set with me". Of course we did. Awesome stories were told. It was a short time after Davey passed. I had small children back in Florida that we had been talking about. When we were ready to go Bobby looked at me and grabbed my hand and told me no matter what cherish your kids and hug them every chance you get. That was a long hand shake. I will never forget it. Great memories. Thanks! I still have Bobby's business card.
