Davey Allison


David Carl Davey Allison was a NASCAR driver. He was best known for driving the No.TexacoHavoline Ford for Robert Yates Racing in the Winston Cup Series. Born in Hollywood, Florida, he was the eldest of four children born to Bobby Allison and wife Judy. The family moved to Hueytown, Alabama, and along with Bobbys brother Donnie Allison, family friend Red Farmer, and Neil Bonnett, became known in racing circles as the Alabama Gang.

The team rebounded at Rockingham and when the series moved to Talladega in May for the Winston 500, Davey had scored one top10 and three top5 finishes. Davey started on the pole at Talladega and got his first win of 1989, his second victory in Talladegas spring event. After the race, Davey stood sixth in the Winston Cup Championship standings, but did not win again until the next restrictor plate race, the Pepsi 400 at Daytona, his last win of the season. By the end of the season, Davey had collected seven topfive andtopten finishes along with one pole position to go with the two wins. He slipped to 11th in the final Winston Cup standings, a disappointment over the previous season. However, Davey would marry his second wife, Liz, during the season, and their first child, Krista, was born prior to the 1990 season.
