I grew up in Hueytown and knew the Allison’s well. I was in Daytona the day Earnhardt died. Ken Schrader said “He’s gone” when he walked back to the garage. Red Farmer was my crew chief for a few years after Davey died in a few Arca races and when I drove for MedPartners in Busch Grand National in 97.
That’s interesting
Do you have any more behind the scenes stuff you can share? Not just related to Earnhardt.

Racing has changed a bunch over the last 10-15 years. I don’t consider myself old (44) but you don’t have the personalities you used to have. Sterling Marlin always drank Coors Light out of a Pepsi can, and he had a guy that poured it into the Pepsi can. I thought that was funny. I always chose to drive to races rather than fly when Red Farmer was my crew chief just to listen to his stories. Red never liked to fly. But he always had stories about breaking a transmission before the race and finding a truck in the parking lot and having someone go take it out so he could race. I don’t know how much of his stories were true, but they were awesome nonetheless.
