A Legacy in Racing

Legacy....According to "Webster" the word Legacy means "a gift received from, or passed down by an ancestor or predecessor from the past."  A wealth of racing knowledge, "a gift", has truly been passed down through the Allison's.  In the path forged by Donnie, Bobby, and Davey Allison, the Allison family's contribution to auto racing is reflected through the development of the Allison Legacy Race Car.

Most noted for the "Alabama Gang", the Allison family has been a part of NASCAR and stock car racing since before the time multi-million dollar sponsors made their way into the sport.  In addition to racing, the Allison's are about family and down to earth values.  According to the Allison Brothers, Kenny, Ronald, and Donald, sons of the legendary Donnie Allison, the new Legacy Car is a tribute to all the Allison's in the family who have driven, owned, and turned wrenches on race cars or who have been involved in racing in any other fashion.

The founding trio of Allison Brothers Race Cars, Inc. are perhaps, known as champion race car builders.  The Allison Legacy Car is built from a family of pure racers, and brings with it a familiar look for the new generation of race fans.  "Our family raced" explains Kenny Allison.  "We've owned several race cars and we know what's involved with the costs.  We wanted to give people a quality product at a decent cost, and decent maintenance costs.  Also, we wanted to give the people in the grandstands something they could relate to."

The Allison Legacy car is a down sized version of a Winston Cup stock car.  The identification currently drawn by competitors and fans has already proved to be a winning combination throughout the past four seasons that the cars have been in competition.

The Allison family name continues to be a favorite among race fans today as Donnie and Bobby Allison play a vital role with the continuous growth of NASCAR.  Carrying on the Legacy in racing, a new generation of race fans and competitors are developing with the Allison brothers.  Today YOU have the opportunity to race into the future with the Allison Legacy Car Series, forging a new path toward an explosive level in auto racing.
