Title: A great story let down by poor writing
Review: In addition to all of the other errors that have been mentioned by previous reviews, I'd like to point out potentially the BIGGEST glaring fault of this entire book.A scant TEN pages were spent on Allison winning the Winston Cup Championship.For the story of someone who has struggled for years coming up as a self-made racer, it should be one of the highlights of the book. Simply put, we know more about Allison's engine swaps in his airplanes than we do about his Championship winning season.I'm going to finish reading this book more as a tribute to Bobby Allison and the Alabama Gang. Golenback should be ashamed to have allowed this book to have been published. It's a travesty of poor writing, poor editing and elusive facts. It is a mismash of anecdotes and interviews (which in their own right are probably hugely fascinating) marred by absolutely abysmal presentation.Bobby Allison deserves a good biography - and this isn't it.
