'''Dunkiny "Donnie" Allison''' (born [[September 7]], [[1939]]) is a former driver on the [[NASCAR]] Grand National/[[Winston Cup]] circuit, who won ten times during his racing career, which spanned the [[1960s]], [[1970s]] and early [[1980s]]. He was part of the "[[Alabama Gang]]," and is the brother of [[1983]] champion [[Bobby Allison]] and uncle of [[Davey Allison]].
'''Donnie Allison''' (born September 7, 1939) is an American former driver on the [[NASCAR]] Grand National/[[Winston Cup]] circuit, who won ten times during his racing career, which spanned from 1966 to 1988. He is part of the "[[Alabama Gang]]", and is the brother of 1983 champion [[Bobby Allison]] and uncle of [[Davey Allison]] and [[Clifford Allison]]. He was inducted in the [[International Motorsports Hall of Fame]] in 2009. He was inducted into the [[NASCAR Hall of Fame]] on January 19, 2024.


==NASCAR career==
Donnie is possibly most remembered for his involvement in a final-lap crash and subsequent fight with [[Cale Yarborough]] at the [[1979]] [[Daytona 500]]. Allison was leading the race on the final lap with Yarborough drafting him tightly. As Yarborough attempted his signature slingshot pass at the end of the backstretch, Allison attempted to block him. Yarborough refused to give ground and as he pulled alongside Allison, his left side tires left the pavement and went into the wet and muddy infield grass. As a result, Yarborough began to lose control of his car and contacted Allison's car halfway down the backstretch. As both drivers tried to regain control, their cars made contact several more times before finally locking together and crashing into the outside wall in turn three. After the cars settled in the grass, Allison and Yarborough began to argue. After they had talked it out, [[Bobby Allison]], who was lapped at that point, pulled over and began defending his brother, and a fight broke out. It all happened on the first nationally televised NASCAR race. [[Richard Petty]], who was over half a lap behind at the time of the crash, went on to win the race. The fight made headlines all across [[United States|America]]. The publicity was instrumental in the growth of NASCAR.
Before racing in the Grand National Series, Allison, like his brother Bobby, drove modified stock cars.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Allison Family|url=http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/h-2146|access-date=2020-07-18|website=Encyclopedia of Alabama|language=en}}</ref> Allison managed to get ten wins in [[NASCAR Cup Series]] competition with his first coming at the 1968 [[Subway 400|Carolina 500]] at [[Rockingham Speedway]] and his final coming at the 1978 [[Dixie 500]] at [[Atlanta Motor Speedway]].

Allison also won the 1967 [[NASCAR Rookie of the Year|NASCAR Grand National Rookie of the Year]].


===1979 Daytona 500===
Donnie was never a full-time NASCAR driver.
Allison is perhaps best remembered for his involvement in a final-lap crash and a subsequent fight with [[Cale Yarborough]] in the [[1979 Daytona 500]]. He was leading the race on the final lap with Yarborough drafting him tightly. As Yarborough started to go below Allison, he attempted to take the inside lane away but Yarborough hit Allison from behind first and got Allison sideways. Yarborough made contact with the side of Allison's car and it put him in the grass. He came back to hit Allison side to side and as both drivers tried to regain control, their cars made contact several times and finally locked together and crashed into the outside wall in turn 3. After the cars settled in the infield grass, Allison and Yarborough were in a heated conversation when, [[Bobby Allison]], who finished laps down after his earlier collision with his brother, pulled over and to check on his brother, but Yarborough accused him of causing the accident and started to hit Bobby while Bobby was still in his car. At that point, a fight ensued.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/-K-GkXe70Vk Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20190305121825/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K-GkXe70Vk&gl=US&hl=en Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K-GkXe70Vk| title = Full Race Replay: 1979 Daytona 500 | website=[[YouTube]]| date = September 25, 2017 }}{{cbignore}}</ref> As the 1979 Daytona 500 was the first live flag-to-flag nationally televised NASCAR race, the finish and the post-race squabble were a ratings dream for CBS. [[Richard Petty]], who was over half a lap behind at the time of the crash, went on to win the race. The fight made headlines all across [[United States|America]]. The publicity was instrumental in the growth of NASCAR.


==USAC career==
Allison also competed in the [[Indianapolis 500]] twice, finishing 4th and winning Rookie of the Year in [[1970]] and finishing 6th in [[1971]].
Allison first raced in the [[United States Auto Club|USAC Championship Car Series]] in [[1970 USAC Championship Car season|1970]]. Driving the No. 83 [[Jim Greer|Greer]] [[All American Racers|Eagle 67]]-[[Offenhauser]] for [[A. J. Foyt Enterprises|Ansted-Thompson Racing]] in the [[1970 Indianapolis 500]], he finished 4th and won the 1970 [[Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year]] Award. He would have finished 20th in points, but because he was using a NASCAR license, he was ineligible for points. For the [[1971 USAC Championship Car season|1971]] Allison drove the No. 84 [[Purolator Filters]] [[Coyote (chassis)|Coyote]]-[[Ford V8]], finishing 6th in the [[1971 Indianapolis 500|Indianapolis 500]]. He also raced in the [[Milwaukee 225|Rex Mays 150]] at [[Milwaukee Mile|Milwaukee State Fairgrounds Speedway]], the [[Pocono IndyCar 500|Schaefer 500]] at [[Pocono Raceway|Pocono International Raceway]], and the [[Ontario Motor Speedway#Past winners|California 500]] at [[Ontario Motor Speedway]], retiring from both. Allison was again ineligible for points.
*Allison held a twenty three year record for the Indianapolis 500 as the highest finishing Rookie from 1970 until 1993 when [[Nigel Mansell]] gained the title and broke his record.<ref>https://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/history/people-of-ims/.../donnie-allison{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

==After racing==
Allison, who lives in [[Alabama]] and [[North Carolina]], has been a television and radio commentator; has also been involved in his sons' Ronald, Donald and Kenny Allison's "Allison Brothers Race Cars" and the "Allison Legacy Race Series" as a consultant to the series and to many up and coming race drivers such as [[Joey Logano]], [[Trevor Bayne]], [[Regan Smith (racing driver)|Regan Smith]], [[John Hunter Nemechek]] and several others <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.allisonlegacy.com/|title=Home - Allison Brothers Race Cars|website=www.allisonlegacy.com|accessdate=12 May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.oldracingcars.com/driver/Donnie_Allison|title = Donnie Allison}}</ref>

Donnie Allison (born September 7, 1939) is an American former driver on the NASCAR Grand National/Winston Cup circuit, who won ten times during his racing career, which spanned from 1966 to 1988. He is part of the "Alabama Gang", and is the brother of 1983 champion Bobby Allison and uncle of Davey Allison and Clifford Allison. He was inducted in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2009. He was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame on January 19, 2024.

NASCAR career

[edit]

Before racing in the Grand National Series, Allison, like his brother Bobby, drove modified stock cars.[1] Allison managed to get ten wins in NASCAR Cup Series competition with his first coming at the 1968 Carolina 500 at Rockingham Speedway and his final coming at the 1978 Dixie 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Allison would suffer serious injuries at the 1981 Coca-Cola 600,[2][3] this would end his career in NASCAR for the most part.[4] Allison would only race fourteen more Winston Cup races (he would also fail to qualify four times for races during this time) from 1982 to 1988. Allison also won the 1967 NASCAR Grand National Rookie of the Year.

1979 Daytona 500

[edit]

Allison is perhaps best remembered for his involvement in a final-lap crash and a subsequent fight with Cale Yarborough in the 1979 Daytona 500. He was leading the race on the final lap with Yarborough drafting him tightly. As Yarborough started to go below Allison, he attempted to take the inside lane away but Yarborough hit Allison from behind first and got Allison sideways. Yarborough made contact with the side of Allison's car and it put him in the grass. He came back to hit Allison side to side and as both drivers tried to regain control, their cars made contact several times and finally locked together and crashed into the outside wall in turn 3. After the cars settled in the infield grass, Allison and Yarborough were in a heated conversation when, Bobby Allison, who finished laps down after his earlier collision with his brother, pulled over and to check on his brother, but Yarborough accused him of causing the accident and started to hit Bobby while Bobby was still in his car. At that point, a fight ensued.[5] As the 1979 Daytona 500 was the first live flag-to-flag nationally televised NASCAR race, the finish and the post-race squabble were a ratings dream for CBS. Richard Petty, who was over half a lap behind at the time of the crash, went on to win the race. The fight made headlines all across America. The publicity was instrumental in the growth of NASCAR.

USAC career

[edit]

Allison first raced in the USAC Championship Car Series in 1970. Driving the No. 83 Greer Eagle 67-Offenhauser for Ansted-Thompson Racing in the 1970 Indianapolis 500, he finished 4th and won the 1970 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year Award. He would have finished 20th in points, but because he was using a NASCAR license, he was ineligible for points. For the 1971 Allison drove the No. 84 Purolator Filters Coyote-Ford V8, finishing 6th in the Indianapolis 500. He also raced in the Rex Mays 150 at Milwaukee State Fairgrounds Speedway, the Schaefer 500 at Pocono International Raceway, and the California 500 at Ontario Motor Speedway, retiring from both. Allison was again ineligible for points.

  • Allison held a twenty three year record for the Indianapolis 500 as the highest finishing Rookie from 1970 until 1993 when Nigel Mansell gained the title and broke his record.[6]

After racing

[edit]

Allison, who lives in Alabama and North Carolina, has been a television and radio commentator; has also been involved in his sons' Ronald, Donald and Kenny Allison's "Allison Brothers Race Cars" and the "Allison Legacy Race Series" as a consultant to the series and to many up and coming race drivers such as Joey Logano, Trevor Bayne, Regan Smith, John Hunter Nemechek and several others [7][8]
