Bobby Allison was an American professional stock car racing driver and owner, born in Miami in 1937, who founded the Alabama Gang of drivers based in Hueytown, Alabama. He raced in the NASCAR Cup Series from 1961 to 1988 and also competed in IndyCar, Trans-Am and Can-Am. He was the 1983 Winston Cup champion and won the Daytona 500 in 1978, 1982 and 1988. His televised fistfight with Cale Yarborough at the 1979 Daytona 500, alongside his brother Donnie, is credited with bringing NASCAR to a nationwide audience. He was named one of NASCAR's 50 greatest drivers and entered the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and his sons Clifford and Davey also raced.
