Bobby Allison, a champion in both racing and resilience, rose from humble roots to change NASCAR. The Alabama Gang member leaves behind a legacy of grit and triumph.

Allison won 85 races and the 1983 Cup Series championship on his way to becoming one of NASCAR's greatest drivers ever

Allison was most successful in NASCAR, but he also tried his luck at the Indianapolis 500, drove an IROC Porsche, guest starred in a BRE Datsun, and even did a test for CanAm with the Shadow team. He always went back to stock cars, because that's where the money and connections were, but he was quick any time he got behind the wheel.
