The original \u201cAlabama Gang\u201d consisted of auto racers Red Farmer and the Allison brothers, Bobby and Donnie. The trio traveled to short tracks all over the southeastern United States together and frequently claimed the top three positions in their races. One evening in the 1960s, as they arrived at a race track in the Carolinas, a local moaned, \u201cOh, no, there comes that Alabama gang,\u201d and their nickname was born (Bolton, 4). The term \u201cAlabama Gang\u201d would later be expanded to include all race car drivers from Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Arthur \u201cBobby\u201d Allison was born in Miami, Florida, in 1937. His racing career brought him to Alabama permanently in 1961 to race in NASCAR\u2019S Modified-Special Division. First living in Bessemer, Bobby and his family later settled in neighboring Hueytown. From his base in Hueytown, he found immediate success winning the Modified-Specials Division titles in 1962 and 1963, which mostly raced in Alabama and Tennessee. Even a switch to the standard Modified cars did not stop his winning streak. Bobby won the 1964 and 1965 national championship in that division (Bolton, 30).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1052\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/modifiedspecial.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1052\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1052  \" title=\"One of Bobby Allison's early modified special racers\" alt=\"modifiedspecial\" src=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/modifiedspecial-300x178.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/modifiedspecial-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/modifiedspecial-1024x608.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/modifiedspecial.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of Bobby Allison&#8217;s early modified special racers, photo from Clyde Bolton&#8217;s The Alabama Gang<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Bobby graduated to the big leagues when he began, in 1966, his NASCAR Grand National\/Winston Cup career (Golenbock, dust jacket). He had made it to stock car racing\u2019s biggest stage. And he took full advantage. He would go on to win 84 races and capture 58 poles before he retired in 1988 after an accident at Pocono Raceway that nearly took his life. He finished his career tied for third on the all-time victory list with Darrell Waltrip. Despite his prolific winning record, Bobby only won a Winston Cup championship once \u2013 in 1983.<\/p>\n<p>As a member of the \u201cAlabama Gang\u201d and to celebrate his racing career, Bobby was inducted into the <a title=\"Alabama Sports Hall of Fame\" href=\"http:\/\/ashof.org\/index.php?submenu=autoracing&amp;src=directory&amp;view=company&amp;srctype=detail&amp;refno=189&amp;category=Auto%20Racing\">Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1984<\/a>.\u00a0Fittingly, Bobby was also named one of NASCAR\u2019s \u201c50 Greatest Drivers\u201d in 1998.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1053\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/bobby-1983.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1053\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1053     \" title=\"Bobby Allison Holds Up Belt Buckle\" alt=\"bobby 1983\" src=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/bobby-1983-300x272.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/bobby-1983-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/bobby-1983-1024x929.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/01\/bobby-1983.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bobby Allison holds up his belt buckle for winning the NASCAR championship in 1983, from Peter Golenbock&#8217;s Miracle: Bobby Allison and the Saga of the Alabama Gang<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After his last race and accident at Pocono Raceway, he battled a significant brain injury that led to memory loss and difficulty completing everyday tasks. While recovering from his extensive injuries, his focus turned to the racing careers of his sons, Clifford and Davey. Bobby also returned to NASCAR as a race team owner in 1990 forming Bobby Allison Motorsports (Golenbock, 270). Responding to a reporter about his new role, Allison said, \u201cOwning a car is not as good as driving, but it\u2019s way better than lying in a hospital bed&#8221; (271). Bobby was very lucky to survive the injuries he sustained in his last race and NASCAR narrowly avoided a tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>However, tragedy struck the Allison family all too soon. On August 13, 1992, Clifford Allison was driving for his dad&#8217;s Busch Grand National team at the Michigan International Speedway when his car spun and hit the wall in a practice session. He was killed instantly. Then, in July, 1993, the unthinkable happened.<\/p>\n<p>Davey was\u00a0flying his helicopter to Talladega Superspeedway to watch Neil Bonnett (a fellow Alabama Gang member) test, when the chopper crashed. \u00a0Red Farmer, a member of the original Alabama Gang, survived the crash with broken bones but Davey suffered massive head injuries. Recalling the miracle survival of Bobby just five years earlier, many thought Davey would come through this and maybe one day return to racing and join his father as one of NASCAR&#8217;s greatest drivers. It was not to be. On the morning of July 13, 1993, exactly eleven months to the day of Clifford&#8217;s death, Davey Allison passed away at the age of 32.<\/p>\n<p>It is hard to imagine how Bobby Allison endured that stretch in his life. He closed Bobby Allison Motorsports in 1996 but has remained a beloved figure in the NASCAR world. Asked how he survived it all, Bobby replied, \u201cMy life has been a series of ups and downs, hills and valleys, top of the mountain, bottom of the valley\u2026I had really, really good times, and I had disasters, where other people might have quit racing, but every time I hit a valley, I figured there had to be another hill out there and I\u2019d climb that hill. I\u2019ve been blessed in so many ways. And I\u2019m grateful&#8221; (Golenbock, 386).<\/p>\n<p>The Allisons are racing family royalty and Bobby is still seen around the NASCAR circuit at different races and events. My family and I had the pleasure of meeting him before a race at Talladega Superspeedway in 2011. A quintessential, southern gentleman with an enduring passion for life and the sport he loves \u2013 through triumph and tragedy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Works Cited:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clyde Bolton. <em>The Alabama Gang<\/em>.
