Davey Allison

I met Davey Allison back in 1992 at a local gas station with my grandparents. He was my favorite race car driver and I had just started getting into racing as a little boy. It meant so much to me cause I loved hanging out with my grandparents cause they were truly the best people in the world to me.

I must have waited in line about 3 hrs to meet him. He was a stand-up guy a real nice person. He even chatted with my pap for twenty minutes. I'm surprised people in the line didn't get mad. I was pretty young at the time so I didn't really understand how great of a racer he was or what racing was really about, but now i know and he was a true racer at heart.

The sad part was we lost him a few months after I met him. It's sad to lose someone so early and not see how much they could have accomplished, but I know that he could have went on and had a status similar to a Dale Earnhardt or Jeff Gordon.
