Bobby Allison's car #22 up front.
I went to school with Davey Allison 4th-8th grade. He was cool kid.
He used to give me the large B/A racing team stickers. Wish I still had those.

The numbers did go from a high of 7 in the 1950's to 0 in 2000's and 0 in the 2020's so obviously there was great improvement in safety.

Two deaths in the 2000s - Kenny Irwin Jr. and Earnhardt.

Correct. A finger error on my part. Thanks for catching that.

... Is there anywhere that NASCAR talks about the drivers that excelled during the years that they Sponsored Drag Racing ?
... I know it was only a very short time.

I've never really understood why Chevy wasn't competitive in the late-60's in NASCAR??? I've heard people say the BBC didn't oil well and hold together at sustained 6000-7000 RPM lapping, but they seemed to hold together in Corvette road racing, etc?? If Chevy was able to back-door support NHRA teams, why couldn't they support NASCAR teams? Seems like Chevy just conceded a whole genre of motorsports to the other guys?
