NASCAR HOF (2011) Bobby Allison

Bobby Allison was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011. He was part of the 2nd class of inductees.

"I climbed out of the car and he got to beating my hand with his nose" he's the man lol

[@KWCline91]

His story and he’s sticking to it.

[@haulshine4093]

I sit here today 2 months behind on rent, raining again, not a word from my boss on when we are going back to work and I have 3 days to come up with 500 dollars or my wife and I will have to be out and find another place to live. at 53yrs old I am afraid and depressed and really stressed about whats gona happen.Time and time again I have been pulled out of dire situations at the last minute and faith in my higher power does ease things for me. I don't know why I watched this video but iam glad I did. My heart pures out for this man and the rest of the Allison's and I somehow know everthing is going to be ok. God bless

[@deborahcooper593]

hailshine409 I too am 54 years old and going through this same scenario in my life with my husband. Jobs keep shutting down or getting rained out and we are close to losing our home. But after watching what this family has endured I feel my situation is very small. This man and his wife give me the strength to carry on no matter what happens and may God bless this family. My heart hurt watching the pain that Bobby Allison and his wife were going through and I cried all the way through this.

[@topangachronic9463]

[@lindaflowers8259]

dnasty312 , I think he was the greatest, Jr. Johnson said if he and Bobby had been able to stay together that Bobby would be a 10 time champion. And Jr. Johnson knew what he was talking about when it came to NASCAR. And he was serious about that statement

I met him this year at his 80th birthday event at the NASCAR Hall. Really cool guy.

I had the opportunity to meet Bobby many many times I even got to fly in his Piper airplane you see Bobby and my father were partners in a company called Bobby Allison Wireless so when I tell you Bobby was an incredible person in a great man it's from first-hand experience he was truly a great race car driver but he also was a kind gentle intelligent person

[@jamminjim247]

To the people at NASCAR Productions, You created one of the best biographies I've seen. Especially when dealing with such a sensitive subject. I really enjoyed watching this, and appreciate the work of all of you that we never see.

[@ralphhitchensjr.9633]

I think that if Bobby had not been injured in 1988, he would have ended up with at least 95 wins. If Davey and Clifford had survived Dale Earnhardt would not have 7 Championships today.

[@brianhearon3502]

As good as Davey was,I believe his best days were still to come.

[@iankhan4614]

Dale himself said so. I believe he was great but like you said we were robbed of how good this man would have turned out.

[@DixytheGoat9]

@@brianhearon3502 Yeah too me he was taken from us too soon he still had potenial and i bet he wouldve given Robert Yates his first championship instead of Jarrett and plus the Allison name would still be racin in modern day nascar

My father and Bobby Allison we're business partners in a company called Bobby Allison Wireless so I had a opportunity to meet and get to know a incredible person my dad used to tell a story about the first night they met see Bobby had this company he wanted my dad to come run for him and they had their first meeting in Daytona at a little Italian restaurant that Bobby used to like to go to and on the way in Bobby noticed a homeless guy sitting on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant and invited that guy to dinner with them. This is the kind of heart Bobby Allison has truly one of the nicest people I have ever met watching him race you never would have believed it but just a very nice gentle soul

[@HaulinWulf]

Bobby Allison reminds me on my dad. Great video for a great man What a hard time for the family to loose two sons in accidents.

[@scottshaffer3244]

When Davey Allison died I walked outside of the Tennis Club, When I first heard he had passed. I saw a cloud in the sky of a face in a racing helment. Pam Nary knows how much we loved him in the day.

I watched Bobby race late models and many of the short track cars he built.........I got to know Cliff and Davey when I worked in motorsports.........both were of the stock of good family background and great talents who knew how to build and race cars........a class act and family both in and out of the sports world........

[@Ron-bo6tb]

God bless the Allison family. So many good memories for me going to watch them race. I remember being from Raleigh NC, me and a buddy pulled for Bobby, In 1972 he was driving the Coca Cola # 12 for Junior Johnson. He won the poll at Rockingham, but had to start in the rear because Junior changed tires. In no time he was leading the race and would have won had he not lost the engine. I pulled for him and then pulled for Davey in the Robert Yates Havoline #28. I never got to watch Clifford race. Glad Bobby and his wife got back together. Great Biography NascarAllOut, thanks!!!

[@twilightsymphony1371]

I got to meet Bobby,and I didnt have anything for him to write on...Carl Edwards had given him a nascar anniversary tshirt earlier and YES!!!HE SIGNED ~THAT~ SHIRT AND GAVE IT TO ME.I gave it to my Dad because Bobby was his favorite driver. R.I.P Dad

[@georgemercer3013]

That was the days that racing was racing not anymore Godspeed to you Bobby

[@12bar145ne]

Bobby Allison is my all time favorite stock car driver. Really my ONLY favorite driver. Btw,at 8:45, 2nd from the right,between Red Farmer & Donnie Allison, is Bob Harmon,my uncle. Better known as Uncle Bob Harmon of The All pro Slim Jim Series,Nashville Fairgrounds,& Nashville SuperSpeedway fame. He owned Montgomery International Speedway when the photo was taken in the late 50's.

[@222billp]

I rode Prattville to Birmingham one time with my dad and Bob and was fascinated with the stories he told. I'll never forget it.

[@12bar145ne]

Very cool.Before Uncle Bob moved to Prattville he lived in a house trailer at Montgomery International Speedway. I spent every summer staying with him & Aunt Helen all through the 60's. He was like my second father. This was long before Robert came along. I have a ton of stories as well.

[@222billp]

I seem to remember that Bob also had Greyhounds in the backyard? Short track racing has never recovered from losing his leadership.

[@12bar145ne]

222billp When he lived at the track he had a German Shepard named "Stroker" & a Chow named "Tuffy." They would run the grounds of the track & beyond together as great friends until they both were trying to knock up the same female one time. After that we had to break up their fights constantly. We had a chain link fence around the trailer & off to the side where we penned them up on Saturdays for the races. They would still growl at each other. Stroker lived long enough to make the move to Prattville. After that Uncle Bob always had poodles Each successive one named "Prissy". I think that was an Aunt Helen thing. Uncle Bob was ALWAYS busy. Btw,Uncle Bob became known AS "Uncle Bob Harmon" in 1980 when he started the ALL Pro Slim Jim Series. I had come back from having gone to college in Florida to Prattville to buy a music store there. Uncle Bob was having a hard time deciding what to call the newsletter for the series. He had already come up with"The Bullsheet" but couldn't decide on"Bob's Bullsheet" or 'Harmon's Bullsheet" when I rode into town to check out the music store. In talking with him I kept calling him 'Uncle Bob". Now I was 24 years old at the time & Uncle Bob said ,"Jimmy,you're a grown man now you don't have to call me Uncle Bob anymore if you don't want to". I thought about it for a minute & said,"If it's all the same to you calling you Bob just feels odd. You have always been Uncle Bob to me & always will be". He said that was fine & retired back to his office to decide what to call The Bullsheet. About 5 minutes later Me,my Mom,Erin (his sister) & Aunt Helen hear him yell, I've GOT IT...he came back into the room & said," I going to call it "Uncle Bob's Bullsheet".

[@222billp]
