    I met Davy in Charlotte in 1992. He was so nice and friendly. Even though Bill Elliott was my favorite, if something knocked him out of being able to win, I cheered Davy on! Thank you so much for a great video!

    Davey was my favorite driver. I was devastated when he passed away. When his uncle drove Davey's car to Garth Brooks "The Dance" I literally bawled! I was so heartbroken! 💔
    I had no idea who I was going to root for after Davey's passing until a rookie named Tony Stewart came along.
    I watched him thinking he had some driving characteristics of Davey and Tony also won three races his rookie years like Davey did.
    Then one of the announcers made a comment and compared Tony to Davey and I yelled I knew it!
    From that point on Tony was the driver I rooted and supported him regardless of his bad boy reputation.
    A lot of people didn't like him but he sure as hell could drive a race car and win races and three championships!
    But my heart remains with Davey.
    Anytime his name is mentioned, I go back and rethink his accident and it still saddens me. I can't help but feel emotional.
    He was on his way to his first championship. He was just getting started.
    My heart went out to the Allison family especially his young wife and their two babies.
    It definitely was a sad time for sure. 😢💔

      I’m from Dave’s home state Sweet Home Alabama! He was my fav too!! I was told that I looked like him when I was younger, I watched him race at Talladega, the place where his life was taken!!! He was special & would have been a champion he was really a nice guy! I also pulled for Smoke 💨 he was cut from same cloth as Dave’s but I favor Davey he was a home state boy a Bama Boy

    Last year I bought a 1993 ford thunderbird, Davy Allison edition. Only 6K miles on it. Has the 5.0 HO engine. Bobby Allison, his father signed the dashboard. Also, came with some collectible merch in the trunk. I’d sell it for the right price. It’s definitely a time capsule. A almost new 31 year old car.

    I live in Talladega, we were always Bobby and Donnie Allison fans so it was only natural that we followed Davey from the start also … my Dad was working at the Talladega Superspeedway and witnessed Daveys helicopter crash. He didn’t know who it was at the time but did shortly recognize Red Farmer as he was removed from the crash. The Race at Talladega was only weeks after Daveys passing… Man that was a sad day ✝️🇺🇸

    I remember watching Davey race on tv. A couple years older than Davey. He would have turned 63 this year (2024). He was so young, 32, gone 31 years. I really enjoyed that bright smile. and what a racer. I felt some comfort knowing he was in his uniform when he was laid to rest. His organs donated to extend others lives. His parents had lost their sons within a year, divorced, but when Adam Petty died, they came together and re- married. RIP peace Davey and Clifford Allison.

    I was a die-hard NASCAR fan up until a few years ago, rules changes and whatnot. I live an hour from Texas Motor Speedway and would go to races there from 2000-2019, and again in '21. I happen to be wearing Davey's gear today, doing a throwback NASCAR week. I was 11 when he died, and he and Alan happened to be my 2 favorites, needless to say, '93 was a rough year for me. I was an avid Kenseth fan for close to 20 years, now I like Truex and, I'm an avid dirt fan, all my other favorites are dirt guys (Bell, Larson, Reddick, and Briscoe)

    A video on Alan Kulwicki would be great. Glen Wood and his brothers, Maurice Petty and maybe Jimmy Pardue. Jimmy was a lesser known guy due to his short career but was extremely fast and competitive while on the circuit. Joe Weatherly, Charlie Glotzbach, Bud and Greg Moore, Cale Yarborough, Lee Roy Yarbrough, and Tiny Lund would be great subjects also. Great channel, I really enjoy it. Sam Ard, Jack Ingram, and Butch Lindley and so many other racing heroes gone but not forgotten too.
