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.
 BE
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. To find
