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.

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...

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.

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.

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
