Stock car racing legend Bobby Allison, who also made two Indianapolis 500 starts in the 1970s with Team Penske, passed away Saturday, November 9, in Mooresville, North Carolina. He was 86.

Allison was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history, with his 85 victories fourth on the all-time win list at stock car racing's highest level. His 336 top-five finishes are second only to Richard Petty. Allison also won the 1983 championship and finished runner-up five times during a Cup Series career that lasted from 1961 through 1988.

He delivered on NASCAR's biggest stages, winning the Daytona 500 in 1972, 1982 and 1988, and was triumphant in the Southern 500 four times and the World 600 three times.

PRI sends its condolences to the entire Allison family. For more details on Allison's storied career, visit the NASCAR announcement here and the INDYCAR announcement here.
