The "missing" win was at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC (if I remember right) in 1971. They didn't count it because Bobby was driving a NASCAR Grand American car, a Ford Mustang. From what I've read, NASCAR folks refuse to explain why they threw it out. But I always say Bobby has 85 wins, one ahead of DW and two ahead of Cale.

if earnhardt was 5ft over and hit bobby, he would of not hit the fence and we would not have restricter plates

And then, when Allison hit the fence, thus ended the greatest era of racing at Talladega. Ever.

Good interview. Very few people knew that Bobby Allison was originally from Miami, FL not Alabama.

I think NASCAR made the right choice
to put restrictor plate racing
to make the drivers safer and the fans
more safer.
