HERE'S A SERIES OF BOBBY ALLISON AT RIVERSIDE RACEWAY IN JANUARY 1972 AT THE FOG ABBREVIATED WINSTON WESTERN 500. BOBBY FINISHED SECOND BEHIND RICHARD PETTY AND WAS THE ONLY OTHER CAR ON THE LEAD LAP. THE CAR WAS PREPARED BY JUNIOR JOHNSON.

BOBBY WON 10 RACES IN 1972 BUT CAME IN 2ND TO RICHARD PETTY FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

BOBBY FINISHED 2ND IN THE 1971 W.W. 500 AND WON THE 1971 RIVERSIDE GOLDEN STATE 400.

BOBBY WAS PRETTY GOOD ON ROAD COURSES AND EVEN DROVE THE CAN-AM SHADOW CAR IN 1972 AT RIVERSIDE BUT DIDN'T START THE RACE. I HAVE PHOTOS ON BOBBY IN THAT CAR IN OUR CAN-AM SECTION. IF YOU'RE AN ALLISON FAN, YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE.
