Robert Arthur Allison (nacido el 3 de diciembre de 1937) es un ex piloto y propietario estadounidense de carreras de autos stock . Allison fue la fundadora de Alabama Gang , un grupo de conductores con base en Hueytown, Alabama , donde había abundantes pistas cortas con carteras altas. Allison compitió en la NASCAR Cup Series de 1961 a 1988, mientras competía regularmente en eventos de pista corta a lo largo de su carrera. También corrió en IndyCar , Trans-Am y Can-Am . Nombrado uno de los 50 mejores pilotos de NASCAR y miembro del Salón de la Fama de NASCAR , [1] fue la Copa Winston de 1983campeón y ganó las 500 Millas de Daytona en 1978 , 1982 y 1988 . Su hermano Donnie Allison también fue un conductor destacado, al igual que sus dos hijos fallecidos, Clifford y Davey Allison . A la pelea televisada de Bobby y Donnie con Cale Yarborough en las 500 Millas de Daytona de 1979 se le atribuye la exposición de NASCAR a una audiencia nacional. [2] Allison fue inusual por competir con éxito con su propio equipo de bajo presupuesto durante gran parte de su carrera.

Vida temprana [ editar ]

Allison nació el 3 de diciembre de 1937 en Miami, Florida. [3] Entró en su primera carrera como estudiante de último año en Archbishop Curley-Notre Dame High School en Miami. Como solo tenía 17 años, necesitaba el permiso de sus padres. Cuando su madre lo aprobó, Allison asumió que era permanente, pero pensó que era solo para una carrera. [ cita requerida ] Después de que se graduó de la escuela secundaria en 1955, la madre de Allison pensó que descarrilaría su interés en las carreras enviándolo a Wisconsin para trabajar para Mercury Outboard Motors , donde su cuñado, Jimmy Hallett, era el gerente de ventas nacional . Sin que ella lo supiera , el propietario de Mercury era Carl Kiekhaefer., who also owned race cars. Allison ended up working as a mechanic and an engine tester. While employed at Mercury, Allison worked in the boat division for 10 months, then was transferred to the racing division. During the two months he worked in the racing division for Kiekhaefer, he went to 19 races, mostly Grand National (Known as the NASCAR Cup Series as of 2020), and a few Convertible races. Every one of those races was won by a Carl Kiekhaefer car from the shop in which he worked. Kiekhaefer was a hard person to work for and several people got fired, so Allison decided to go back to Miami only after a little over two months.

En 1956, habiendo regresado a Miami, Allison comenzó de nuevo sus propias carreras. Sus padres dijeron que no podía correr y vivir en casa, así que a Allison se le ocurrió un nombre ficticio (Bob Sunderman) que se usó solo una vez, ya que terminó lo suficientemente bien como para aparecer en el periódico dominical. El padre de Allison vio el periódico y le dijo que si iba a competir, lo haría con honor y usaría su propio nombre. [4] En 1959, Allison llevó a su hermano, Donnie , Kenny Andrews, que era dueño de un automóvil (cuyo padre era dueño de Andy Racing Wheels), y a Gil Hearne, quien fue el conductor de Kenny, en la búsqueda de carreras más lucrativas que las disponibles. en el sur de Florida . Su búsqueda los llevó al Montgomery Motor Speedway en Montgomery, Alabama., donde le dijeron de una carrera esa misma noche en Midfield, Alabama , cerca de Birmingham . Allison ingresó y terminó quinto en esa carrera, lo que pagó más que terminar segundo en cualquier carrera importante en el sur de Florida. Fue a Montgomery la noche siguiente, ganó las carreras preliminares y terminó segundo en la función, ganando $ 400, habiendo encontrado sus lucrativas carreras. Los hermanos regresaron a casa y Bobby convenció a su amigo Red Farmer de que regresara a Alabama con él. Tuvieron un éxito inmediato y pronto comenzaron a responder al nombre de The Alabama Gang . Allison se convirtió en una piloto conocida y una estrella en las carreras de pistas cortas, ganando títulos especiales modificados consecutivos en 1962–63, luego dos campeonatos nacionales modificados de NASCAR consecutivos en 1964–65.[5]

NASCAR career[edit]

1968 coche de carreras

Allison se trasladó a tiempo completo al circuito Grand National en 1965 [1] y obtuvo su primera victoria en Oxford Plains Speedway el 12 de julio de 1966.

Durante el transcurso de su carrera, Bobby Allison acumuló 84 victorias acreditadas y 2 victorias no acreditadas, lo que lo convirtió en el cuarto de todos los tiempos, empatado con Darrell Waltrip . [6] También ganó las 500 Millas de Daytona en 1978, 1982 y 1988, [7] terminando uno-dos con su hijo, Davey Allison . En 1972 fue elegido Piloto del Año a nivel nacional después de ganar diez carreras y hacerse con 11 poles, incluido un récord de cinco consecutivos. Fue campeón de la Copa Winston de NASCAR en 1983, [1] ganando nuevamente el premio al Piloto del Año mientras conducía para DiGard Racing. Las 500 Millas de Daytona de 1982 estuvieron plagadas de controversias que se conocieron como " Bumpergate ".[8] He also won the Firecracker 400 in 1982, making Allison the fourth driver to sweep both Sprint Cup point races at Daytona in the same year. After Allison accomplished this, no driver repeated such a feat until Jimmie Johnson did it in 2013.[9]

Allison ran in the Indianapolis 500 twice, with a best finish of 25th in 1975.[10] His NASCAR team owners included DiGard, Junior Johnson & Associates, and Roger Penske, for whom Allison scored four of the five NASCAR wins for American Motors' Matador. The other AMC victory was accomplished by Mark Donohue also racing for Penske in 1973 at Riverside. He raced in NASCAR as a driver/owner of an AMC Matador.[1]

1983 championship car

Bobby Allison fue elegido miembro del Salón de la Fama del Deporte Internacional del Automóvil en 1993. Allison estuvo involucrado en un accidente en Talladega en mayo de 1987, en el que su automóvil se cortó una llanta, giró hacia un lado y se lanzó por el aire hacia la valla protectora que separa la pista de carreras. las tribunas. El impacto, a más de 200 millas por hora (320 km / h), arrancó más de 100 yardas de cerca. Partes y piezas del automóvil salieron volando hacia la tribuna hiriendo a varios espectadores. Esta fue la misma carrera en la que Bill Elliotthabía establecido el récord de clasificación de todos los tiempos en 212 mph (341 km / h). Luego, NASCAR ordenó carburadores más pequeños para los eventos restantes de 1987 en Talladega y Daytona. Al año siguiente, NASCAR ordenó placas restrictivas en Daytona y Talladega para mantener velocidades por debajo de 200 millas por hora (320 km / h).

Allison ganó la primera carrera de las 500 Millas de Daytona con placas restrictivas en febrero de 1988 por una longitud de automóvil sobre su hijo Davey Allison , lo que lo convirtió en el primer piloto en ganar las 500 Millas de Daytona con y sin placas restrictivas. Es el piloto de mayor edad (50 años) en ganar las 500 Millas de Daytona. [11] Bobby y Davey Allison son los primeros dos padres e hijos que terminan en las 500 de Daytona. Como resultado de lesiones permanentes en un accidente en Pocono ( ver más abajo), Bobby ahora no recuerda la victoria final de su carrera o la celebración junto con su hijo en la línea de la victoria. [12] Fue elegido miembro del Salón de la Fama de NASCAR en 2011. [6]

Pelea de Cale Yarborough [ editar ]

A principios de las 500 Millas de Daytona de 1979 , Bobby, su hermano Donnie y su rival Cale Yarborough se enredaron al principio de la carrera. Donnie lideró la segunda mitad de la carrera, mientras que Yarborough recuperó las vueltas perdidas en los períodos de precaución. Cuando faltaban ocho vueltas para el final, Yarborough alcanzó el segundo lugar y fijó sus ojos en adelantar a Donnie. Bobby estaba dos vueltas atrás y 1/4 de milla por delante de los dos rivales cuando Yarborough y Donnie se estrellaron en la última vuelta. Richard Petty went by and won the race. Bobby passed the wreckage, finished the race, and on his way back around Bobby stopped to check on his brother and make sure he wasn't hurt. He pulled over to the wreck site to offer Donnie a ride to the garage area. Yarborough ran up to Bobby and, according to Bobby, Yarborough was yelling that Bobby was at fault and hit him in the face with his helmet—cutting his nose and his lip. Bobby climbed out and a fist-fight broke out.

This fight led to a $6,000 fine each for Yarborough and the Allison brothers. In 2000 when asked about the fist-fight Bobby said "I stopped to offer Donnie a ride to the garages and Cale comes running up saying I caused the wreck. I tried to tell him he had the wrong person. And I've said before, I think I questioned his ancestry. He hit me in the face with his helmet and I saw blood dripping onto my shirt. I thought 'If I don't stop this I'll be running from Cale for the rest of my life.' I climbed out and throttled him. He ran his nose into my fist several times. My story and I'm sticking to it forever. He never challenged me again. The fine surprised me, but the fact that it brought NASCAR onto the map makes it all worth every penny." To this day, Allison maintains that Yarborough was "beating his face on my fist".[13]

Donnie tenía una historia similar a la de Bobby: "Cale dijo que lo forcé en el barro. No lo hice. Se destrozó y yo fui el desafortunado espectador en estar en él. Él y yo hemos hablado. Estamos bien. Ambos vemos como oportunidades perdidas. Después de que él y yo hablamos y acordamos estar en desacuerdo, Bobby vino al lugar del accidente y me preguntó si quería que me llevaran. De alguna manera no recuerdo ... pero segundos después, Cale y Bobby lanzaron puños. Traté de entrar en la pelea y Cale me rascó en la mejilla. Más tarde lo pateé cuando Bobby lo limpió en el barro. Todos fuimos multados con $ 6,000, pero entre las 500 Millas de Daytona y esta pelea, hoy vale cada centavo estar involucrado. en una pelea que puso a NASCAR en el mapa ". [14]

Cale Yarborough, como era de esperar, tiene un relato diferente de la historia: "Si miran el video, se darán cuenta de que Donnie me obligó en el barro. Iba a pasar a Donnie y ganar la carrera, pero él me obligó en el barro y yo no tenía control. Así que diablos le devolví el golpe. Si yo no terminaba la carrera, él tampoco. Él y yo tuvimos una conversación cortés después del accidente y estábamos bien hasta que Bobby Allison salió del auto y comenzó a gritarme. . Se volvió caótico desde allí ".

According to the three during an interview in 2012 at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, NASCAR later refunded the fines as a reward to them for bringing NASCAR into national spotlights. Allison however complains to this day that because he only made $4,000 in the race, he had his wife Judy help pay the fine (by contributing $2,000) & he was only refunded with $4,000 by officials.[15]

Pocono and tragedies[edit]

1988 racecar

On June 19, 1988, at the midpoint of the 1988 season, Allison crashed on lap 1 of the Miller High Life 500. Initially he survived a head-on hit into the outside barrier but then suddenly Jocko Maggiacomo t-boned Allison in the driver's side of the car, nearly killing Allison. When he reached a local hospital he was initially declared dead, but subsequent medical assistance saved his life. Beginning from a vegetative state, Allison entered a rehab program. As a result of his massive injuries he retired from driving in NASCAR.[1]

En 1992, su hijo menor, Clifford Allison, resultó fatalmente herido en un accidente de práctica para la carrera de la NASCAR Busch Series (ahora Xfinity Series ) en Michigan International Speedway . [dieciséis]

Later in 1993, his son Davey was killed in a helicopter accident at Talladega Superspeedway.[17] Three years after these major tragedies, he and his wife Judy divorced. Four years after their divorce, while attending their daughter-in-law's wedding, they reconnected. They were remarried in July 2000 and remained together until her death in 2015.[18] He was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America[19] in 1992, and inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in May 2011, along with Lee Petty, Bud Moore, David Pearson, and Ned Jarrett.[20]

Allison is one of eight drivers to have won what was then considered a career Grand Slam (an unofficial term) by winning the sport's four majors: the Daytona 500, the Winston 500, the Coca-Cola 600, and the Southern 500. Only seven other drivers have accomplished this feat: Richard Petty, David Pearson, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Buddy Baker.[21]

Career wins controversy[edit]

Officially,[22] Allison has won 84 Cup Series races, placing him in fourth place on the all-time wins list, tied with Darrell Waltrip. Unofficially, Allison has won 85 races, and may be credited with 86 wins. The controversy lies in two races: the 1971 Myers Brothers 250 held at Bowman Gray Stadium (Winston-Salem, North Carolina), and the 1973 National 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. (Charlotte, North Carolina.)

1971 Myers Brothers 250[edit]

Due to reduced sponsorship money being given out by the "Big Three" automobile companies in Detroit, some Winston Cup teams chose not to enter some of the smaller prize-money races of the large 48-event season (only 14 cars entered the 1971 Space City 300), leading NASCAR to allow its "minor league" Grand American Series drivers (itself suffering from a massive decrease in events versus its 1970 season) to enter six of the Winston Cup races.[23] For these races, Grand American Series "pony cars", such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang, and AMC Javelin, were competing against the larger Grand National Series cars, featuring the Chevrolet Chevelle, Ford Torino Talladega, Dodge Charger Daytona, and Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird.

The 1971 Myers Brothers 250 was held August 6, 1971 at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The first car to cross the finish line after 250 laps was driven by Allison. Knowing that the pony car would handle better on the flat track of that race, and the race following at West Virginia International Speedway, Allison had chosen to race his Grand American 1970 Ford Mustang, No. 49, sponsored by Rollins Leasing, and owned by Melvin Joseph.[23] (Joseph was the head of Dover International Speedway until his death in 2005.) As he was not racing in a Grand National car, he never received credit in that series, but was credited with a Grand American Series win.

NASCAR has had co-sanctioned races with various series in the past; in such cases, the win counts only in the series which that driver's car was sanctioned. The driver tied with Allison in all-time Cup wins because of the dispute is involved in this incident. An Automobile Racing Club of America/Winston West combination race in College Station, Texas on March 21, 1993, was won by Darrell Waltrip, driving an ARCA entry. That win was credited as an ARCA win only, and not counted in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West (as it is currently known) win list. Likewise, when a Winston Cup driver won a Winston Cup/Winston West combination race, the win counts in Cup, not West. The Busch Series and Busch North Series also raced combination races in the past. Currently, Bristol Motor Speedway has such a race, with the Whelen Modified Tour and Whelen Southern Modified Tour.[citation needed]

1973 National 500[edit]

The 1973 National 500 was held October 7, 1973 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. The first three cars to cross the finish line after the scheduled 334 laps (501 miles) were driven by Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, and Bobby Allison, in that order. Again, these facts are not disputed. What is disputed, is the legality of the first two cars' engines, recounted in Jim McLaurin's book ”NASCAR'S Most Wanted", in the chapter “Fudgin’ With the Rules”:

In the 1973 National 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Allison protested that the engines in winner Cale Yarborough's and second-place Richard Petty's cars were over-sized. NASCAR inspected all three of the top finishers, and Allison's engine fit the cubic-displacement specs. Six hours after the inspections began, NASCAR technical director Bill Gazaway told the press that the results were being sent to headquarters in Daytona for a final decision.
Monday afternoon NASCAR released a statement saying that, because the inspection facilities at Charlotte were inadequate, the pre-race inspection numbers would be used-when all three cars were legal and that the results would stand.
Allison threatened both to quit and to sue. It was not until after a private meeting with NASCAR President Bill France, Jr., a week later that Allison was assuaged. Speculation was that Allison had been bought off. Allison wouldn't confirm or deny it, saying only that he had “received satisfactory restitution”. The results were never changed. 1973 was a transition year in NASCAR. Teams could run a restrictor plate-equipped 7-liter engine or a 5.9 liter engine without restrictor plates. A decade later, Petty's over sized engine at the same race resulted in new NASCAR rules being implemented against oversized engines, including the possibility of twelve-week suspensions for the offending engine builder, driver, and car owner.[citation needed]

1982 Daytona 500[edit]

Following his victory at Daytona, Allison's car was inspected and was found to have lost its rear bumper, which appeared to have fallen off in a slight bump between two cars at the beginning of the race, causing a multi-car accident. Tests were performed on the car without its rear bumper and it was discovered that the car was faster and handled better without the bumper (better underside aerodynamics and over 70lbs. lighter). It has been claimed that Allison and his crew modified the bumper so that it would fall off easily at the beginning of the race. NASCAR never fined him and the victory stands. Allison and his crew denied the allegations. In the Allison biography Miracle, Allison explained that NASCAR inspectors told the DiGard crew to move the bumper on its mounting points. The team simply tack-welded the bumper back on at an acceptable position, but "forgot" to properly secure it.[24]

Car owner[edit]

Allison drove his own cars for portions of the early 1970s, including the full 1973 season. Allison won six races as an owner-driver from 1970 to 1974.[25] Allison also ran for his own team in 1977 after splitting with Roger Penske, with a best finish of second at Nashville.[26]

In 1985 Allison returned to being an owner-driver after leaving DiGard Motorsports, taking his number (22) and sponsor (Miller American) with him to his new team. His best finish as an owner-driver in 1985 was a fourth-place finish at Dover.[27] Following the 1985 season he brought his number and sponsor with him to the Stavola Brothers Racing team.

In 1990 Bobby revived his team and was a car owner for numerous drivers, most notably Mike Alexander, Hut Stricklin, Jimmy Spencer, and Derrike Cope. Stricklin was Donnie Allison's son-in-law.[28]

The car number raced was No. 12 and sponsors included Raybestos Brakes from 1990 to 1992 and, in 1993, Meineke. Stricklin moved to the Junior Johnson & Associates team halfway through 1992 and Raybestos left at the end of the year to the Stavola Brothers No. 8 team.[28][29] For 1995 and 1996, the team was sponsored by Mane 'n Tail with Derrike Cope at the wheel. Allison was forced to close down the team due to financial problems after the 1996 season.[28]

Recent years[edit]

Allison has actively promoted rail safety for the CSX "Keep on Living" campaign with appearances at Talladega and Daytona. On March 6, 2008, his mother, Kittie Allison, died at age 101 in Charlotte, North Carolina. On May 23, 2011, Bobby Allison was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.[30]

Judy Allison, Bobby's wife of 55 years, died December 18, 2015 following complications from surgery.[31]
