Truth
be told-not before or since the loss of Davey Allison has there been such
an impressive and precise pit crew.
Their
skill and speed was poetry in motion.
Even
if you didn't like Fords- you had to tip your hat to a pit crew
that
no one has been able to compete with yet....not even the new 28 teams.
Davey would have been a thorn in Jeff Gordon's side, and would have probably prevented or made those Gordon Championships alot harder to get.

At
the end of the 1993 Winston Cup Season, two of Nascars most
prominent
Drivers paid tribute to Davey Allison, and Alan Kulwicki.
Rusty
Wallace won the race in Atlanta, and Earnhardt won the
Winston
Cup Championship. Both drivers took a Polish Victory Lap,
