NASCAR awards Bobby Allison his 85th Cup Series win, resolving a half-century-long dispute.
NASCAR has addressed a 53-year-old controversy by granting racing legend Bobby Allison his 85th career Cup Series win. The announcement retrospectively awards Allison the contested victory from the race held on August 6, 1971, at Bowman Gray Stadium. This comes more than five decades after the race concluded without an official winner due to a dispute over car classifications.
This new acknowledgment puts him in fourth position on NASCAR's all-time wins list.The decision by NASCAR is not only significant for Allison's standing in the sport's history but also symbolic as Bowman Gray Stadium is set to make its return to the NASCAR Cup schedule in 2025. The stadium, often referred to as 'The Madhouse' due to its tight track and chaotic races, will host 'The Clash,' kicking off the season with an exhibition race.
