A near-death experience can change anyone and Bobby Allison is no different. His devastating crash at the Pocono race in 1988 came with some unexpected revelations.
Allison was T-boned into by Chauncey ‘Jocko’ Maggiacomo in 1988 at Pocono causing him to be in intensive care for 6 weeks till he was stable.
“For two solid months I couldn’t add two and two. I was conscious, but I had no idea who was who or where I was or what year it was. I sat and cried, like a 2-year-old. The world was really mixed up to me. Early on, I was really mad that they let me live.”
Although Bobby managed to survive, he had to live through the death of his sons, Clifford and Davey along with his close friend, Neil Bonnett who passed away in 1994.
