"While you were sitting in the stands or watching at home on TV,
did you ever ask yourself what's really going on behind the scenes?
Take a ride on the seat next to auto-racing legend Bobby Allison
and relive the dramatic saga of the ""Alabama"" Gang in this unique
look at NASCAR from the inside."
Bobby Allison, who ranks third place in wins in NASCAR history,
began his Grand National/Winston Cup career in 1966. After winning
eighty-five races, he retired in 1988 when an accident at Pocono
Raceway nearly killed him. He was severely brain injured, and it
took him a full fifteen years to recover. After the accident, more
tragedy struck. In 1992 his younger son, Clifford, died in a crash
at the age of twenty-seven. A year later, his other son, Davey,
died in a helicopter accident, and in 1994 he lost his close friend
and protege Neil Bonnet in a fatal crash. Then Bobby and his wife,
Judy, separated and divorced. Through it all Bobby Allison
persevered.
Today Bobby's mind is as sharp, detailed, and analytical as
anyone's in sports. Bobby remembers so much, in such great detail,
the stories he tells leap off the page. It's all there---the feuds,
the infighting, the victories, the accusations of cheating, and
worse.
Incredibly, Bobby, the poster boy for hard work, honesty, and
integrity, holds "nothing" back, even when it reflects poorly on
him. "It happened, and there's nothing I can do about that," is
what he says. The result is raw racing history.
Along with the Earnhardts, the Jarretts, and the Pettys, the
Allisons are racing family royalty, and "Miracle," a family saga of
determination, loyalty, and love, is filled with some of the
greatest racing stories of all time. If you ever wanted to read a
book that puts you in the garage, in the pits, and in the
boardrooms, and at the same time tugs at your heartstrings---this
is the book for you.
