WHAT IS THE WALK OF FAME?
The Davey Allison Memorial-Walk of Fame is a beautiful
landscaped park that covers one full city block down town
Talladega, Alabama. Dedicated during the summer of 1994, the
memorial is open 365 days a year with free admission.

 The
park serves as a memorial to the late Davey Allison, as well as a
tribute to Nascar "All Star" Drivers that are chosen by the fans each
year. The first inductee's ("The Alabama Gang"), Bobby Allison,
Donnie Allison, Red Farmer, and Neil Bonnett were inducted by decree of
The Board. All others have been "Fan Favorites", voted in by the
fans.
Davey is
recognized by a large marble monument while the drivers have bronze
plaques that are placed around the park. The park is designed in
the shape of the Talladega Super Speedway with walk ways, simulating the
asphalt track. The previous inductee's are listed here.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE WALK OF FAME!
The Talladega-Texaco Walk of Fame is two things:
- A focal point to salute
NASCAR racing's all-time "All Stars" as selected by THE FANS
each season. Each year, two or three drivers are chosen
from a ballot of nominees selected by strict guidelines
established by the park's board of directors.
- An everlasting tribute to
the late Davey Allison.
WHERE: The park is
located just off the historic Talladega Courthouse Square in
beautiful downtown Talladega, Alabama, just 90 miles west of
Atlanta, Georgia and 40 miles east of Birmingham, Alabama.
WHY:
The Talladega-Texaco Walk of Fame is dedicated to the "best" in
NASCAR racing as determined by THE RACE
FANS. The annual selection
process takes place over a multi-week period and involves
participating sponsors.
AUDIENCE:
The
NASCAR
race fan!
WHY THIS IDEA: Simple! It's the FANS who annually select the
drivers to be honored with permanent recognition at the
Talladega-Texaco Walk of Fame. Is has become NASCAR's
annual all-time "All Star" vote.

A PART OF THE DREAM:
The newest addition to the Walk of Fame Park is the Davey
Allison Memorial Walkway which you find at the center of the
park. It was started in the Fall of 2002. It is made
up of bricks which are donated by Racing Fans worldwide.
