Davey Allison: NASCAR's Unstoppable Man 

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

Whats really sad is that Davey seemed genuinely nice and extremely down to earth. But he still had that will to compete and push himself harder and harder. I know other drivers are nice and do great things but I feel like Davey was a step above that because he liked talking to fans.

Davey Allison was a NASCAR legend. It’s sad that we lost him so early in his career.

You and Brock deserve medals for the work you do in preserving the history of the sport

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...

There aren't many channels that can get me to watch a 2 1/2 hour video on RU-vid, but NASCARman History is one.

There really will never be another Davey. Heartbreaking even today, 30 years later.

Davey Allison was a fighter and he never gave up whenever he got hurt both physically & psychologically. He’s a legend and one of the best NASCAR drivers of all time. It’s been 30 years since he died.

Davey I truly believe could’ve won 3 championships and around 60 races

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.

We need to start a campaign to make Brock NASCAR'S official historian. His content is better than anything from t.v. or NASCAR itself

Him and Adam Petty would be amazing to watch

Man, Davey Allison was not human at all. He was an extremely tough guy. I can’t imagine how awful it was when it was revealed that he died. It must’ve been so awful

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'm too young to have watched or known a ton about Davey, but the more I see of him, the more I think he'd be my favorite if I were around back in the 80's and early 90's.

This was worth a wait! I was wondering where were you guys. I am almost 27 minutes into this video as of commenting, and I know it is another banger! Davey Allison was humbled and never gave up. Truly a tough driver! May he Rest in Peace...

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.

What a beautiful soul Davey was. One of the greatest drivers and people that ever drove for NASCAR.

Just finished this after splitting it up into two sections. This is by far your best work yet. As much as I love Brock’s narration I also love seeing as much original footage as possible and I think this does a great job of balancing a documentary and just showing how Davey’s career played out directly through the original broadcasts.

Outstanding! In tears here, great tribute to my childhood hero.

NASCARMAN and Brock are the GOATs and this further proves it. Watching from my nurses desk

Of all the deaths in NASCAR, this one hurts the most. Davey Allison is one of the greatest heroes in the History of NASCAR, and the fact that we never got to see his full potential is horrible. I'm so thankful for this video helps us to remember his perseverance, the lives he gave to others, and the championship he won.

2 hour Davey Allison content?! Yes please!!

What an extremely well produced, and touching piece. Seriously, job well done to both creators Also: That 1992 IROC race finish was absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure all 6 of those drivers at the front thought they were going to win that race

I was only 2 when Davey passed & I've always heard my Dad constantly say Earnhardt & Gordon would have had the championships they did had Davey lived. And I know many share that belief. Knowing of 1991 Sonoma, I had wondered for a while if Davey was or was becoming one of NASCAR's Golden Boys. Some people for some reason call Chase Elliott one because of who his Dad is, although there is no evidence. But I had wondered if there was a case of sorts here, considering Davey's Dad is also a Cup champion... After watching this video, I can confirm that, like Chase Elliott, Davey Allison was not a Golden Boy. Yeah he has the name, but he also had the talent. He did prove his worth. Yeah '91 Sonoma was BS, but that was NASCAR being NASCAR, & not any Golden Boy shenanigans like I was previously curious/concerned about. I'd like to think Davey is who Kyle Busch would be if he was *much* more nicer & cleaner as a driver.

Davey Allison - My favorite all time. My current driver is Ryan Blaney, who is also humble and drives a Ford !

I remember the Sundays spent with my kids watching this era of NASCAR. I knew this video was going to be tough to watch because I knew how it ends. Reliving the highlights through this documentary kind of grounds a person. Davey was our guy, had his picture on the wall next to the TV. Thanks to all that competed during that era, both our heroes and villains and the guys who didn't get much mention in the broadcasts but still competed. God speed to those who "crossed the finish line" before the rest of us.

Amazing job. NASCAR and INDYCAR should hire you to make official videos. Your channel is simply the best and the only one I check regularly to see if there's anything new. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video nascarman! I was 6 when Davey died. He was my first favorite driver and will always be my favorite! RIP Davey! ❤ #28 forever

I'm 53 years old and remember all of this like it was yesterday. I set on a front end loader at work when it came across the radio that my Driver the man I had watched come from the bottom to the top had passed away,,,,,& I cried like a baby all day had to go home from work early n I still cry today when I have relive all of his ups and downs... Hurts my heart. Davey and the #28 will live forever in all who witnessed the man and his career. Long live Davey.

Love this documentary Davey is missed and not forgotten..

Got to be the best doc ever on Davey.Stuff we never saw before or may have forgotten.Oh what could have been.RIP Davey a true Champion and tough driver.30 years ago u left us but never be forgotten.

Awesome tribute to Davey Allison, I live in Alabama and I was 10 when he died. I remember it very well it was very sad I was very sad. My dad was not a Allison fan but he saw that I was upset about it and he bought a model of the 28 car for us to put together with each other. That is one of my favorite childhood memories.

I really miss Davey Allison. He was just a wholesome guy and an incredible talent.

This is a masterpiece and quite frankly the first fitting documentary worthy of Davey’s legacy. Thank you from a lifelong RYR/Allison fan.

Davey, you were a very good driver, 30 years after your death, you got a new fan from Belgium. I hope you still have fun by racing cars in the sky, champion. Rip Davey. Legend ❤

Always remember him. Sweet boy and great NASCAR driver. Never forget when he left us. My husband was a race car driver. Even with 10 kids we went racing when and where ever we could. He was a mechanic n Jack- of- all- trades. Build you a race engine or car. Build or tear down a house, he could do it. His dad started a racing club to teach boys to race and become mechanics. In Southern CA. My husband eventually moved to Northern CA. He died of cancer 15 years ago. Of course he was a race driver thru n thru. I have the car he raced with Mark Martin in some place I’m 83. We raced in Oregon n Nevada. Went lots of tracks. Once at a track near Sacramento area, the tire man, Tom was having a little trouble getting some money. Kevin Harvick came up on his bicycle. Talked to the guys. Left and came back with a check for Tom. Kevin has always been my favorite. Of course my husband was the best driver ever, Dale Earnhardt. Both my husband n Dale’s photos are in the upstairs hallway. I still live in our home he built 50 years ago. If he had raced on more season he would have raced 50 years. Our home is full of his trophies n fire suits. We all miss him. He is on the internet. Can’t ask for more than that. Can you imagine the goings on at the great racetrack in the sky? I sure can. Blessings

Absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed watching this and learned a lot

I get so happy when I wake up to find that y'all have made another video:)

2:11:28 That... was reminiscent of something Dan Wheldon said once... Those words hauted me when I heard Davey speak similar words...

Absolutely beautiful work. Life long Davey Allison fan, 28 forever.

A Beautiful tribute to a great human being and an awesome driver. Thanks for the memories.

I was born in 1996, but I’m a huge fan of old nascar. With all the racing on RU-vid I’ve watched every race through for years, and I’m a huge fan of Davey. This video is tremendous and well put together, it really gives someone like me who unfortunately never got to experience him racing while he was alive the chance to appreciate how much of a determined, polite and skilled race car driver such as Davey was. Thank you for this video and keep up the good work #28Forever

The 1 & 2 Allison finish was one of my favorite races of all time. ❤

This was a great documentary, Davey Allison was only a few years before my time. I grew up and still am a big Jeff Gordon fan, and I can only wonder what would've been different if Davey didn't pass. Reality is so cruel, I think I woulda liked him a lot. The Fast Masters series shoulda been more popular, a field of Jaguar XJ220s looked so awesome! Edit: Just realized I finally got around to watching this on the 28th... funny how things work out. RIP Davey Allison

Davey was truly a special talent & a great human being. Truly Missed to this day along with the likes of Dale, BP, Neil and many others who were apart of this sport.

After just watching Oppenheimer a high budget film on the career of bobby or any of these guys would be so good.

I was a big Davey Allison fan I was a kid but nascar was a every Sunday thing if it wasn't on tv dad had it on the radio I would never miss a race and I loved the number 28 and I also liked Alan Kulwicki and they both die with n a year so I became a Earnhardt Sr fan and we all know how that turned out

Wow I've never seen this interview clip 2:01:39, so sad

I grew up in Hueytown during the "Alabama Gang" Era. The Allisons are still honored in our community. The main street in Hueytown is still called Allison-Bonnet Blvd.

I forgot how humble Davey truly was, this shows you the character of this man. I stopped watching NASCAR when Davey passed away..........

This is the most complete history of Davey ever produced ! Thank you very much nascarman History !

I can never watch a story on Davey and not shed some tears. He was my driver as a kid and I still remember when my dad told he me he didn’t make it. I cried for I can’t remember how long. He was truly my childhood hero for racing. 😢 I had forgotten the IROC championship. Just made me cry some more hearing that.

Unbelievable work. Thank you nascarman.

I grew up in Hueytown down the road from Donnie Allison’s shop. I met Bobby Donnie Davey , Red farmer Clifford Allison as a kid. From my house I could see Daveys place lit up for Christmas 🎄 every year. Great memories.

Very well done! Nice touch having Brock Beard narrate. Both of you are criminally underrated. Thank you for this masterpiece.

What an excellent video from start to finish. Hard not to wonder what racing would be like today if guys like Davey were still with us. Excellent work.

Can't say enough about this. You and Brock have gone to such great lengths again. Well done gents

Davey Allison was the first Super Rookie

I, a NASCAR fanatic from 1980s until 2014ish, do declare this documentary an Award Winning, Emmy level, Documentary. 'Standing Ovation'

I remember crying when he passed. Davey was truly a hero!

That 87-89 car with the white nose is one of the best looking Cup cars ever.

I was waiting for this to come out🎉🎉I recently started my diecast collection, and my first car was 28 Davey Allison 😊❤. Such a sad day when we lost Davey but will always be remembered ❤

got to meet him when i was kid. he was super nice. genuine

39:11 - I can't put into words how much I appreciated hearing the garage sounds from NASCAR Racing 2003 Season playing in the background

This is ONE of many drivers, crew members,officials,and spectators we have lost over the years! And for me as a race fan my entire life , I thank you and all involved for making my experience second to only the birth of my daughters, my most ultimate HIGH in life! Thank you all! Davis Davis “orange show speedway”1961-1985” Indianapolis Speedrome “1985- till ?

Great work as always, Brock. And, yeah, Davey, that is how we remember you.

Davey was my first favorite driver. He looked like my dad, and when he passed I was only 3 but I remember how sad I was. I had one of the New Bright r/c cars shown in the intro and I wear my new reproduction Davey shirt to the local track. Never forgotten!

No chase & 5 drivers eligible.. this happened more than I recall the championship being decided with races to go.

It’s crazy seeing this head bob around in the drivers seat with no HAANS device.

thanks nascarman! learning more about the sport thanks to you and slap and black flags. you made it a great summer so far... much respect....from manhattan

Thank You for the wonderful Documentary Davey Allison it's truly heartbreaking that he died so young.

Davey, Allison, in my opinion, took the name of “the athlete“ to another level and owned it. He had to struggle and work hard he had to push to the limit he had to sacrifice everything he could, and you had to work to the back of the bone to be a racecar driver. He might’ve not win a lot of races. He might’ve that won a championship with in my opinion is NASCAR’s champion

He was good, he was the only driver who wasnt scared of Dale. He actually intimidated the intimidator The Allison's went through so much in so short of time 🥺

Davey Allison would've won several titles. He could win at all different tracks. He was one tough driver too.

As always, great job sir. Brought a tear to my eye. I still have a “28” on my rear window all these years later.

Still remember the news article from the paper when he died. Cause, well... that's how we still got our news in 1993, outside of TV news. hah. It was hard to believe. Especially after losing Alan barely any time before it. Great video. Watched it all the way through. It filled plenty of gaps of information I didn't even realize, and also reminded me even more about how good he was. I remember by the end of 92 thinking....man this guy wins too much. lol

More than a Major Thank you too who Made this Awsome Video As Davey Allison and the 28 Thunderbird May this too Awsome Driver Never too be Forgotten He was Definitely the King of Nascar And May Davey be Never Forgotten Ever

What an amazing piece!! I remember going to the dollar store the day after his death and seeing cardboard in the windows saying that they were sold out of davey matchbox style cars. The gravity of the situation was lost on me as I was only 7 at the time.

Brock with another solid documentary 😄

I wish I could like this a million times. Amazing work as always

if this man lived....dale snr wouldnt have 7, jeff gordon wouldnt have 4....

Just to be in the stands watchin Davey race is historic in itself. I been a fan of Davey for a few years now. It would’ve been awesome if I could’ve seen him race irl.

I was a Davey fan and I still miss him. Yes, 30 years later and I still wonder how many Gordon and Johnson championships would have been thwarted by Davey if he hadn’t passed.

Davey , Petty , Bonnent, Irvin Jr, few others would’ve changed nascar if they weren’t taken away at young age. They definitely had something special and they will never be forgotten

This is the greatest thing you’ve ever done. Thank you

Something I just realized is that the top 3 in points In 92 had plane or helicopter crashes ofc Davey and Alan but Bill Elliott was in a F16 wreck that luckily he survived

WOW THAT WAS AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS AND SHARING IT WITH US ❤❤❤😢😢😢

Davey Allison was a great driver and a great person. He was taken so early in my NASCAR fan years that I still never got to see his true talents behind the wheel. I got a Racing Champions diecast of his 2 weeks before his passing. After his death I always wondered what kind of driver he could have become. I remember telling my mother these exact words "He didn't deserve to die".

This was great I watched entire video. Awsome job on it RIP Davey Alan and Dale.

Davey will always be remembered as one of the BEST and for all of us that watched him grow up in the sport we'll never no how many championship's he may have one but with his team and owner i would imagine more than a few.

Only twice in my life have I seen the Alabama Interstate shut down where everyone pulled to the side of the road and put thier hats over thier hearts was for Bear Bryant and the Allison familly because both those families did a lot for the state and thier sports. May they all rest in heaven and never be forgotten.

I still get saddened Everytime i see this iam a ole Dale Sr fan but the Allison's have always been a great family we miss you Davey and Clifford 😢

The Waddell story about BobbY Allison #28 Pontiac was very cool. I was under the assumption that Bobby also had something to do with the choice of that particular car! Nascar ended up outlawing that car after that 500! Amazing stories! Love it! Thank again!

I absolutely love this just fyi!!! I love finding these long ass in-depth vids that I can kick back and get lost in!!! Keep up the great work my friend…I appreciate it!!!

1993 and 1994 were so tragic for NASCAR. From Alan and Davey to Bonnett and almost losing Ernie Irvan. It’s sad.

Absolutely awesome work, yet again Brock! Outstanding! As someone who never got to see Davey race but was a fan of his when I would watch old taped races as a kid, I really appreciate this! Great production again!

Davey Allison was Mr. Indestructable!

I was a regular competitor in the street stock division at Flat Rock Speedway. One weekend our class was off because the Talladega Super Car Series was coming to town, Flat Rock and Toledo. I was always a Bobby Allison fan Listening a AM radio on a beach somewhere. I had to see this guy , we where the same age then make it for the show. And he did (during his honeymoon). I never saw a 3,500 lb. stock car pull the LF tire a Coke bottle high getting off every corner like a midget car (RIP) Perry Younce. Davey ... Thanks for that memory

This is an awesome documentary. Great job! 🤘
