Take a ride on the seat next to auto-racing legend Bobby Allison and relive the dramatic saga of the Alabama Gang in this unique look at NASCAR from the inside.. 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.. Today Bobbys mind is as sharp detailed and analytical as anyones in sports. Bobby remembers so much in such great detail the stories he tells leap off the page. Its all there--the feuds the infighting the victories the accusations of cheating and worse.. Incredibly Bobby the poster boy for hard work honesty and integrity holds nothing back even when it reflects poorly on him. It happened and theres nothing I can do about that is what he says. 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.
