Davey Allison: NASCAR's Unstoppable Man

Born in the shadow of racing, Davey Allison was always meant to drive race cars. With a legendary father, Davey had to earn his way in the sport with his own knowledge and skill. As he worked towards his goals, Davey had more adversity thrown at him than most people. This is the story of a hero who never kept going.

Davey Allison and Tim Richmond are the two biggest what-if drivers in NASCAR history. Their lives taken from them just as their careers began to thrive

[@robertstone9988]

Thare is at least 3 titles thare that Jeff or Dale Sr don't get if they live. Dose Hendrick even take Gordonfrom ford and bill Davis if he has Richmond? Or Dale Jeret even leave to 18 for the 88 and win a cup if Davey is still winning in the 28? Who knows.

[@sevendst19]

that 28 car was cursed, even when Ernie Irvan got in there after Allison passed he almost died himself and was out of racing a few years before he came back but he was never the same though he did win a few more races.

[@ShrexyGuy]

​@@robertstone9988He definitely would've made one of the most competitive eras in NASCAR even that much more entertaining

[@roberthill2219]

Do not ever forget Adam Petty... i saw him run the wheels off a late model at Myrtle Beach, get spun out 3 times and still finish 4th... when he was only 16...

[@noviranger88]

Fireball?

[@BenOnSports]

There aren't many channels that can get me to watch a 2 1/2 hour video on KZbin, but NASCARman History is one.

[@mikeypainter11]

There really will never be another Davey. Heartbreaking even today, 30 years later.

[@jebediahgentry7029]

We need to start a campaign to make Brock NASCAR'S official historian. His content is better than anything from t.v. or NASCAR itself

[@BSfromCS]

I grew up in a RYR household, and to this day sport #28 in my racing efforts. Davey will always be one of those mythical people in NASCAR history. Kind as could be, and yet a fierce and respected competitor. Before Gordon, there was Davey to be the antithesis to Sr; he was just that damn good...

[@jonnyspa27]

Davey was one of the few that could truly take the fight to Earnhardt on a superspeedway. Like Greg Moore, I’m so grateful I got to see them drive, but always wonder how a “complete” retirement on their terms would have looked. EXCELLENT work Brock & NASCARMAN ❤🙌💗🏁🏁🎩😜

[@Shiggiesmalls02]

You and Brock deserve medals for the work you do in preserving the history of the sport

[@MRosati5000]

Yes. This is Nascar gold.

[@jerrywagner4690]

Give credit to Jr. Also. .. he is keeping history alive and driving his sister nuts, lol!

[@jerrywagner4690]

Good one. He admits as much, lol.

[@Spike-sk7ql]

​@@jerrywagner4690what is going on with that stuff?

[@victoruribe2465]

Davey Allison was a fighter and he never gave up whenever he got hurt both physically & psychologically. He’s a legend and one of the best NASCAR drivers of all time. It’s been 30 years since he died.

[@jerrywagner4690]

Damn😂 time I here someone tell it like it was. I remember that time and knew my driver was always there to give everyone else trouble..... He was a threat to ever other person who thought they were the best.....he said prove it because I think I am better!

[@hankhell5663]

The sport of modern nascar is now dominated by snotty silver spooned rich kids. Davey sometimes had that reputation back in the day because he was Bobby Allison’s son, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. He worked for everything he earned, had serious work ethic, and was a stand up example of what a role model should be. He was humble beyond his age and never made excuses for the adversity he faced. It’s a damn shame he left us so early. He had so much more to to teach all of us.

[@austinreed5805]

Davey Allison was a NASCAR legend. It’s sad that we lost him so early in his career.

[@irabullrider]

Yes it was I 13 and he was my favorite driver.

[@jerrywagner4690]

I remember his eyes after that friggin wreck..... he seemed like Superman... We lost a Man that day!!!!

[@jerrywagner4690]

No he never got to be a legend really....he is a legend because of fans like you and me....we are selfish because we knew he was something really special. Listen to Larry Mac talk about how special he was! Alabama GANG!!!

[@kdrewmorris]

I'm too young to have watched or known a ton about Davey, but the more I see of him, the more I think he'd be my favorite if I were around back in the 80's and early 90's.

[@jerrywagner4690]

Lots of videos out there.... believe you can be a bad ass.... he drove hurt he paid attention to all aspects of what was needed. He always knew he could be better, but never forgot the fans who loved his almost super human ability to drive hurt. He knew he was lucky to do what he loved.the exact opposite of one Bubba I am special because I have a permanent tan. Yes he truly would have been something special but we have a very special person called Mark Martin . He is the same tough,mean, don't friggin think I can't attitude. We have living legends in NASCAR. And we have lost some also.

[@pete_bruschi_racing]

I was born in 1995 so I was never even around for Davey Allison. Your video helped me appreciate Davey's life and career, in a way that I couldn't before. I remember watching the 2001 Daytona 500 live, when Dale Sr. died. Even though that happened when I was just 5 years old, I understood that monumental loss to the racing world. Sr. at least had such a long, remarkable career before his death, and everyone was talking about it. I didn't even know about Davey Allison until much later on. I think the first I had ever heard of him was when I saw a video of someone eating a 30 year old can of Davey's Chili. When I found S1apshoe's video about the 1992 championship, I started to learn. But Davey and Alan were still just mythical figures to me. I knew Davey was good enough to be in contention, won some races that year, became a human punching bag with all his wrecks. But Alan ultimately got the championship. To me, Davey still seemed like a kid compared to the veterans around him. Taken too soon before he reached greatness. Thank you for putting this all together. I am amazed that you were able to dig up and compile all of this footage. It really makes a difference to hear Davey speaking, seeing all of his race wins, how he raced around the legends of the sport that I actually saw race. Helps kids like me realize that he really was among best. If not the best, like his father Bobby said.

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

This was worth a wait! I was wondering where were you guys. I am almost 27 minutes into this video as of commenting, and I know it is another banger! Davey Allison was humbled and never gave up. Truly a tough driver! May he Rest in Peace...

[@KellieLeigh48]

NASCARMAN and Brock are the GOATs and this further proves it. Watching from my nurses desk

[@dimitri5341]

2 hour Davey Allison content?! Yes please!!

[@tobi3799]

What a beautiful soul Davey was. One of the greatest drivers and people that ever drove for NASCAR.

[@MRosati5000]

A role model for all.

[@Ultimate23Dragon]

I was only 2 when Davey passed & I've always heard my Dad constantly say Earnhardt & Gordon would have had the championships they did had Davey lived. And I know many share that belief. Knowing of 1991 Sonoma, I had wondered for a while if Davey was or was becoming one of NASCAR's Golden Boys. Some people for some reason call Chase Elliott one because of who his Dad is, although there is no evidence. But I had wondered if there was a case of sorts here, considering Davey's Dad is also a Cup champion... After watching this video, I can confirm that, like Chase Elliott, Davey Allison was not a Golden Boy. Yeah he has the name, but he also had the talent. He did prove his worth. Yeah '91 Sonoma was BS, but that was NASCAR being NASCAR, & not any Golden Boy shenanigans like I was previously curious/concerned about. I'd like to think Davey is who Kyle Busch would be if he was *much* more nicer & cleaner as a driver.

[@rcguy902]

Then ur dad's a moron because he doesn't know what would happen if Davey lived none of us do

[@allenvick4584]

I have seen many documentaries on Davey and this is by far the best one I’ve ever seen many clips I have never seen before, and I thought I had seen most all of them. Thank you so much for your efforts. Your racing documentaries are better than anything NASCAR has ever produced, and that’s not a slight on NASCAR, you just do a tremendous job and you should be proud. Thank you again.

[@maggiesatterfield2402]

I grew up in Hueytown during the "Alabama Gang" Era. The Allisons are still honored in our community. The main street in Hueytown is still called Allison-Bonnet Blvd.

[@mrs6968]

That's so fresh and awesome thankyou for sharing that tidbit of nascar history

[@mitchbrown8627]

Outstanding! In tears here, great tribute to my childhood hero.

[@edisonboggess7141]

Of all the deaths in NASCAR, this one hurts the most. Davey Allison is one of the greatest heroes in the History of NASCAR, and the fact that we never got to see his full potential is horrible. I'm so thankful for this video helps us to remember his perseverance, the lives he gave to others, and the championship he won.

[@aaronthomas6155]

Davey Allison was greatness personified..... He was one of the few to truly earn Dale Earnhardt's respect.

[@jerrywagner4690]

Dale Sr. Actually did more for NASCAR than anyone. Davey just never had the time. Think about Davey racing with those legends.... Gordon, Smoke, Edwards, Newman,he was a threat always. But Dale Sr. Put NASCAR on his back and changed the sport. NASCAR is going woke, and I believe they hate their true fans. I have loved and still love this sport because of giants like Davey! One word... Driven!!!!!

[@TheOfficialRandomGuy]

@@jerrywagner4690Even though Dale was a hard loss, and we lost him much too soon. He had a completed legacy, and from a career standpoint had accomplished everything to achieve in NASCAR. Davey was just getting into his prime. Not only in his career, but in his life.

[@johnvandeventer8668]

Man, Davey Allison was not human at all. He was an extremely tough guy. I can’t imagine how awful it was when it was revealed that he died. It must’ve been so awful

[@irabullrider]

Do you mean Bobby because he lost 2 sons.

[@santinopucheta1111]

​@@irabullriderin least then 1 year

[@jonathankraus9365]

Just finished this after splitting it up into two sections. This is by far your best work yet. As much as I love Brock’s narration I also love seeing as much original footage as possible and I think this does a great job of balancing a documentary and just showing how Davey’s career played out directly through the original broadcasts.

[@XemawthEvo2]

What an extremely well produced, and touching piece. Seriously, job well done to both creators Also: That 1992 IROC race finish was absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure all 6 of those drivers at the front thought they were going to win that race

[@michelforest6329]

Amazing job. NASCAR and INDYCAR should hire you to make official videos. Your channel is simply the best and the only one I check regularly to see if there's anything new. Thank you!

[@deloreshilton3349]

Always remember him. Sweet boy and great NASCAR driver. Never forget when he left us. My husband was a race car driver. Even with 10 kids we went racing when and where ever we could. He was a mechanic n Jack- of- all- trades. Build you a race engine or car. Build or tear down a house, he could do it. His dad started a racing club to teach boys to race and become mechanics. In Southern CA. My husband eventually moved to Northern CA. He died of cancer 15 years ago. Of course he was a race driver thru n thru. I have the car he raced with Mark Martin in some place I’m 83. We raced in Oregon n Nevada. Went lots of tracks. Once at a track near Sacramento area, the tire man, Tom was having a little trouble getting some money. Kevin Harvick came up on his bicycle. Talked to the guys. Left and came back with a check for Tom. Kevin has always been my favorite. Of course my husband was the best driver ever, Dale Earnhardt. Both my husband n Dale’s photos are in the upstairs hallway. I still live in our home he built 50 years ago. If he had raced on more season he would have raced 50 years. Our home is full of his trophies n fire suits. We all miss him. He is on the internet. Can’t ask for more than that. Can you imagine the goings on at the great racetrack in the sky? I sure can. Blessings

[@volvo09]

That is a great story. I was only a kid when he died but it devastated me, he was such a nice guy. I cried that day and it felt weird because I didn't even know him, yet he was gone.

[@traviswayne91]

Any chance you knew Nathan Sims?

[@lainephilips5025]

Davey I truly believe could’ve won 3 championships and around 60 races

[@jerrywagner4690]

He was truly driven and I believe you put him at his minimum. He was just that good.

[@LT1HILLINGHOE]

​@@jerrywagner4690lol

[@jcearnhardt393]

Throughout Davey's career I was at half the races he ran, and watched the rest on TV. From 1986- 1999 a group of about 12 of us that worked in the Carolinas/ Virginia for the gas company. We regularly attended both races at Bristol Martinsville Richmond, Charlotte, Rockingham, wilksboro, Dover, we also would go or at least went a couple times to Talladega, Pocono, Dover. Davey was in a very fast car, Robert Yates at that time had horsepower and great support and team. Here where I differ with you on Davey winning multi championships. When Davey car was off, he just couldn't seem to finish the race where the car should finish on that day. He would usually wreck it or blow it up. If Davey had a 10th place car, most likely he was going to finish at best 25th. If dale Earnhardt, Terry labonte, Jeff Gordon had a 10th place car, most likely they was going to finish 6th- 8th. Hell it's good chance Earnhardt would win with it. He just wasn't good at managing a car that wasn't very fast

[@davebodi]

Davey Allison - My favorite all time. My current driver is Ryan Blaney, who is also humble and drives a Ford !

[@daveanddanniejacobs9432]

I'm 53 years old and remember all of this like it was yesterday. I set on a front end loader at work when it came across the radio that my Driver the man I had watched come from the bottom to the top had passed away,,,,,& I cried like a baby all day had to go home from work early n I still cry today when I have relive all of his ups and downs... Hurts my heart. Davey and the #28 will live forever in all who witnessed the man and his career. Long live Davey.

1993 and 1994 were so tragic for NASCAR. From Alan and Davey to Bonnett and almost losing Ernie Irvan. It’s sad.

[@captaincrustyradio]

The 1 & 2 Allison finish was one of my favorite races of all time. ❤

[@jonathanwhitfield1104]

Love this documentary Davey is missed and not forgotten..

[@agentorange2554]

I remember the Sundays spent with my kids watching this era of NASCAR. I knew this video was going to be tough to watch because I knew how it ends. Reliving the highlights through this documentary kind of grounds a person. Davey was our guy, had his picture on the wall next to the TV. Thanks to all that competed during that era, both our heroes and villains and the guys who didn't get much mention in the broadcasts but still competed. God speed to those who "crossed the finish line" before the rest of us.

[@Kimi38]

Davey, you were a very good driver, 30 years after your death, you got a new fan from Belgium. I hope you still have fun by racing cars in the sky, champion. Rip Davey. Legend ❤

Awesome tribute to Davey Allison, I live in Alabama and I was 10 when he died. I remember it very well it was very sad I was very sad. My dad was not a Allison fan but he saw that I was upset about it and he bought a model of the 28 car for us to put together with each other. That is one of my favorite childhood memories.

I was a regular competitor in the street stock division at Flat Rock Speedway. One weekend our class was off because the Talladega Super Car Series was coming to town, Flat Rock and Toledo. I was always a Bobby Allison fan Listening a AM radio on a beach somewhere. I had to see this guy , we where the same age then make it for the show. And he did (during his honeymoon). I never saw a 3,500 lb. stock car pull the LF tire a Coke bottle high getting off every corner like a midget car (RIP) Perry Younce. Davey ... Thanks for that memory

[@christophercooper146]

First time watching this cried half way thru this I just turned 50 July my dad would take us to Talladega. I saw Davy when his first race and they came an instant fan. I believe I was like 12 years old and I was Allison fan, which I always grew up ford man! He was the greatest!!!

[@JTeam45]

This was a great documentary, Davey Allison was only a few years before my time. I grew up and still am a big Jeff Gordon fan, and I can only wonder what would've been different if Davey didn't pass. Reality is so cruel, I think I woulda liked him a lot. The Fast Masters series shoulda been more popular, a field of Jaguar XJ220s looked so awesome! Edit: Just realized I finally got around to watching this on the 28th... funny how things work out. RIP Davey Allison

[@thetruth1446]

He was good, he was the only driver who wasnt scared of Dale. He actually intimidated the intimidator The Allison's went through so much in so short of time 🥺

I was born in 1996, but I’m a huge fan of old nascar. With all the racing on KZbin I’ve watched every race through for years, and I’m a huge fan of Davey.

I can never watch a story on Davey and not shed some tears. He was my driver as a kid and I still remember when my dad told he me he didn’t make it. I cried for I can’t remember how long. He was truly my childhood hero for racing. 😢 I had forgotten the IROC championship. Just made me cry some more hearing that.

[@shannongrayRFK]

Daisy Allison would have probably been the greatest race car driver of all time had he not got taken from us so soon he was just at the very beginning of hitting his stride and i think wousld have been a multiple cup champion and probably won well over 125 races ...he was kind to his fans went out if his way to sign an autograph but on the track he would not take any shit from anyone the Allison's all we're notorious for whooping ass if you crashed them especially on purpose but Davey had that fire that competitive edge and drive and desire to win to be the best and to do it the right way if possible Davey was and still is my hero i was 15 when he died but i was a fan ever since his nascar driving career started i would have loved to see he and Alan kulwicki take championships and race wins away from those bow tie bastards lol i believe with that ryr power and Davey's determination he may have won 10 championships and maybe 150 to 201 races to become the greatest ever and then his son would have been a driver too in the cup series and so on ...we need an Allison in nascar in a black 28 Ford again but i can always dream ....but ill tell you right now there wasent a driver like him tough as nails and just plain damn good at any track and loved his fans like no other and was a great family man to he loved many people and many many many many people including me loved him and still do #28forever ..,................there wasent a driver like him and there never will be another like him ............ Davey was on another level back then when drivers were tough he was tougher if there was a Davey today he still would be the best ...when God took Davey he needed a driver when he took dale he needed someone for davey to beat every race in heaven ...i am still a very proud Davey Allison fan and i dont just think i know if he had got to finish his nascar career he woukd hold about all the records he would have been the best ever

[@sabirahemphill-garcia1676]

Davey, Allison, in my opinion, took the name of “the athlete“ to another level and owned it. He had to struggle and work hard he had to push to the limit he had to sacrifice everything he could, and you had to work to the back of the bone to be a racecar driver. He might’ve not win a lot of races. He might’ve that won a championship with in my opinion is NASCAR’s champion

[@mtfan]

Davey was my first favorite driver. He looked like my dad, and when he passed I was only 3 but I remember how sad I was. I had one of the New Bright r/c cars shown in the intro and I wear my new reproduction Davey shirt to the local track. Never forgotten!

Still remember the news article from the paper when he died. Cause, well... that's how we still got our news in 1993, outside of TV news. hah. It was hard to believe. Especially after losing Alan barely any time before it. Great video. Watched it all the way through. It filled plenty of gaps of information I didn't even realize, and also reminded me even more about how good he was. I remember by the end of 92 thinking....man this guy wins too much. lol

I remember telling my mother these exact words "He didn't deserve to die".

I was 7 years old then Alan and Davey died and I remember it vividly. I believe its where I first learned about death and never coming back.

[@Huddle_House56]

What an absolute guy he was too. And what a horrible year stretch in racing in 93-94. Alan and Davey, then Senna and Neil Bonnet in 94.

More than a Major Thank you too who Made this Awsome Video As Davey Allison and the 28 Thunderbird May this too Awsome Driver Never too be Forgotten He was Definitely the King of Nascar And May Davey be Never Forgotten Ever

[@waynegray9166]

Davey was my favorite driver in the day. Had things not turned out like they did, He would've given Dale all he could handle. Sad day when you left us brother.

[@sodahunter8413]

This is the greatest thing you’ve ever done. Thank you

[@justinmoessinger6977]

Thank you so much for this! Davey forever! ❤️🖤💛

Davey will always be remembered as one of the BEST and for all of us that watched him grow up in the sport we'll never no how many championship's he may have one but with his team and owner i would imagine more than a few.

[@jonathankenton7182]

I was a Davey fan and I still miss him. Yes, 30 years later and I still wonder how many Gordon and Johnson championships would have been thwarted by Davey if he hadn’t passed.

[@captaincrustyradio]

I agree

[@OptimusPrime298]

Davey Allison was the number 28 but he’s never forgotten Texaco will always be the primary sponsor

[@SiVlog1989]

As much as I would have been happy to see an underdog like Alan Kulwicki achieve the championship, I have sympathy for Davey Allison in coming up just short

[@gprich82]

Sheww that last segment was a ballbreaker. Great video, as usual.

[@waynebowen3133]

I still get saddened Everytime i see this iam a ole Dale Sr fan but the Allison's have always been a great family we miss you Davey and Clifford 😢
