Two of NASCAR’s all-time racing greats were inducted into Hampton’s (GA) Speed Lane on Thursday. Bobby Allison and his late son Davey were inducted into the city’s walk of fame on Thursday evening. The induction of Davey Allison was a surprise for those in attendance, as only Bobby’s induction had been announced beforehand. Bobby was introduced to the crowd by Hampton Mayor Steve Hutchison, who spoke of some of Allison’s many accomplishments in racing, including the 1983 Winston Cup Grand National Championship, 84 career victories and three Daytona 500 wins in 1978, 1982 and 1988. Hutchison presented Allison with two proclamations honoring him and his son.(Henry Herald)[More]
