  • 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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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

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.

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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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

    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

    Only twice in my life have I seen the Alabama Interstate shut down where everyone pulled to the side of the road and put thier hats over thier hearts was for Bear Bryant and the Allison familly because both those families did a lot for the state and thier sports. May they all rest in heaven and never be forgotten.

    This video is really well done. So many moments and special people in it. Great to see all of these announcers and especially all of the drivers again. It's a tearjerker of course, but worth every moment. We were very fortunate to have watched Davey back in the day. He was a one of a kind.

    Davey Allison was a great driver and a great person. He was taken so early in my NASCAR fan years that I still never got to see his true talents behind the wheel. I got a Racing Champions diecast of his 2 weeks before his passing. After his death I always wondered what kind of driver he could have become. I remember telling my mother these exact words "He didn't deserve to die".
