LEGEND BOBBY ALLISON SET TO APPEAR AT MOTORSPORTS 2010
PRESENTED BY STREETBLAZE 100 SHOW |
One of the true legends of NASCAR stock car racing will be part of the
Motorsports 2010 Presented by StreetBlaze 100 Race Car & Trade Show set for
January 22 to 24th at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA.
Three time Daytona 500 winner Bobby Allison, named one of NASCAR’s
50 Greatest Drivers, will be returning to the show to meet fans and signing
autographs on opening day of the show (Friday) from 7 PM to 9 PM and on
Saturday, 1 PM to 3 PM.
According to the NASCAR record books the 72 year old legend has 84
wins to his credit in Cup racing. However Allison still disputes that and
claims he has 85. He will be glad to tell you about it at the show. He does
stand third on the All-Time Win List for NASCAR Cup racers.
Allison was one of the most popular racers on the circuit when he was active
winning the Most Popular Driver Award six times and he remains very popular
with fans.
In addition to being the 1983 Winston Cup Series Champion, the
Hueytown, Alabama resident was a five time runner-up for the title and
amassed close to $8 million in winnings. He had more than 600 short track
victories during his career and has been inducted into a number of Halls of
Fame.
What some fans may not remember is that Allison also competed in
two Indianapolis 500 races (1973 and 1975) for car owner Roger Penske and
was 1973 Rookie of the Year. Mechanical problems sidelined him both times.
Allison will join NASCAR Sprint Cup standouts Kasey Kahne and
Marcos Ambrose in autograph sessions at the 25th annual Motorsports 2010
show. NASCAR Sprint Cup crew chief Frankie Kerr will be there along with
other nationally famous racers and personalities.
The three day show will feature more than 200 racing vehicles on display
along with just about everything imaginable in motorsports.
Langhorne Speedway, considered one of the greatest dirt track
racing facilities in the history of the sport, will be remembered during the
show with a huge display and reunion of past performers in race events at
the legendary one mile dirt track.
One of the highlights of the show is the annual BPG Racing Ms.
Motorsports Pageant. Young ladies looking to enter the pageant are invited
to contact the show office at 609.888.3618.
A variety of seminars designed to help racers with setups,
sponsorship, and more will be presented free during the weekend.
