NASCAR - A Happy Moment That Did Not Last

[Black 03 Z06]

Bobby Allison leaning over the pit wall to shake hands with his son Davey Allison after winning the race at Richmond, Virginia on March 7, 1993. Davey would be gone months later in a helicopter crash on July 13, 1993. Bobby of course was struggling with his own issues after a devastating career ending 1988 Pocono crash. Davey's brother Clifford was killed in an accident at Michigan in August 1992. Racing is not always kind.

Touching pic.
