For over 50 years, Bobby Allison waited for NASCAR to officially recognize his win at Bowman Gray Stadium. Now, at 86, he finally gets his due. Kenny Wallace, a former NASCAR driver, sheds light on the deep frustrations Allison carried. He believes Allison can now rest in peace.

The story begins in 1971 when Allison won a race in a car that wasn't fully regulated by NASCAR. This led to a long delay in acknowledging his victory. NASCAR has now rectified this, making Allison the fourth-highest winner in NASCAR history.

Wallace remembers Allison's anger about the situation. He thinks Allison's friends and family may have pushed NASCAR to make things right. Wallace also notes that NASCAR's rules were less strict back then, leading to real tensions among drivers.

Allison's induction into the Hall of Fame didn't change NASCAR's stance. It took them 53 years to give Allison his win. Wallace praises NASCAR for fixing this historic wrong but also highlights the emotional turmoil drivers faced in the past.
