Racer's Heart

The Bobby Allison Story is a compelling human drama, set amongst the "pedal to the metal" world of NASCAR stock car racing. It is a raw and honest chronicle of the relationship between a husband and wife, racing legend Bobby Allison and his teenage sweetheart, Judy, as they exalt in the triumphs that bring them together and despair in the tragedies that nearly tear them apart. Theirs is a story of one man's incredible perseverance to finally reach the pinnacle of his sport and the woman who selflessly stood by his side. After an unforgettable post-race incident at the 1979 Daytona 500 involving his brother, Donnie Allison, Bobby inadvertently makes "Allison" and NASCAR a household name. Almost a decade later, he returns to Florida for his greatest and final victory: the historic, father/son, one - two finish at the 1988 Daytona 500 shared with his son, Davey. But disaster strikes five months later when Bobby suffers career-ending injuries in a spectacular wreck. Left with severe amnesia, Judy devotes the next five years of her life to helping her husband recover. However, during that time the couple must endure the tragic deaths of their two charismatic racing sons, Davey and Clifford, and it threatens to end their marriage. It is only through their faith in God and their indomitable spirit that love survives. Imprisoned in the darkness of their individual grief, they walk out into the light once again...Together.
