Davey Allison, who knows how far he would have gone?

Rest in peace.

All three are AWESOME!!! The Davey car is perfect, I think he would have been much bigger than his father and uncle. All three definately taken from this world too soon...

Very nice! I have a few of these memorial type builds in the plans myself, including many Dale Earnhardt cars, Neil Bonnett's car he drove for Dale Earnhardt (the car I believe was the one he was killed in), a couple of Davey's cars, and my all time personal favorite, the "Underbird" Alan Kulwicki drove to win his Winston Cup.

Neil Bonnett was killed while driving the Country time car in practice at Daytona , yellow and flouresent red . He did drive a mom and pops car for Richard Childress racing #31. Hoosier Tires were on his car which blew out and probably caused hids death.

Thanks for the correction, Dave. I knew the Mom & Pops car, which is the one I have the decals for, had an Earnhardt connection, but didn't remember that it was actually a Childress ride.

Neil only raced that Mom and Pops car twice, once at Talledega where he ended up flipping it and once at the season ending Atlanta race where he raced it for 3 laps and then parked it due to engine (cough) problems. Dale was racing for the Championship and they intended to park it to help Earnhardt in the points.
