Miracle

The New York Times–bestselling author presents the full story of NASCAR legend Bobby Allison and the Alabama Gang—written with the Allisons'' cooperation.Bobby Allison who ranks fourth in wins in NASCAR history began his Grand National/Winston Cup career in 1966. After winning eighty-five races he retired in 1988 when an accident at Pocono Raceway nearly killed him. He was severely brain injured and it took him a full fifteen years to recover. After the accident more tragedy struck. In 1992 his younger son Clifford died in a crash at the age of twenty-seven. A year later his other son Davey died in a helicopter accident and in 1994 he lost his close friend and protégé Neil Bonnet in a fatal crash. Then Bobby and his wife Judy separated and divorced. Through it all Bobby Allison persevered.Until he died Bobby''s mind was as sharp detailed and analytical as anyone''s in sports. Bobby remembered so much in such great detail the stories he told leap off the page. It''s all there—the feuds the infighting the victories the accusations of cheating and worsecredibly Bobby the poster boy for hard work honesty and integrity held nothing back even when it reflected poorly on him. It happened and there''s nothing I can do about that is what he said. The result is raw racing history.Along with the Earnhardts the Jarretts and the Pettys the Allisons are racing family royalty and Miracle a family saga of determination loyalty and love is filled with some of the greatest racing stories of all time.
