A Night with The Alabama Gang

Members of the legendary Alabama Gang, Red Farmer, Bobby Allison, and Donnie Allison, will be at Vulcan Park and Museum on Monday, October 16 for an evening of storytelling and fun. They will be joined by local racing friends and Alabama Auto Racing Pioneers Hall of Fame members Richard Orton and “Paddle Foot” Wales. The event will be moderated by Birmingham native and two-time Daytona 500 champion crew chief and Fox Sports NASCAR broadcaster and analyst, Larry McReynolds.

The Alabama Gang traveled throughout the southeast in the late 1950’s and 60’s placing one, two, and three at almost every track. While Bobby and Donnie Allison raced at the highest level in the racing circuit, Red Farmer has remained close to his roots. Farmer still races on Saturday nights at the Talladega short track and calls Hueytown, Alabama home. Bobby and Donnie no longer race and live in North Carolina, but they have never forgotten their deep Alabama roots.

Join us for this unique opportunity to hear from the heroes of the glory days of auto racing and see a few of the cars that made them famous. The discussion will focus on the early days of racing in Birmingham and how these greats played an important role in cultivating NASCAR into the sport it is today.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

Program begins at 6:00 p.m.
