We continue our look at some of the most memorable Talladega moments throughout the years.

May 1987: Bobby Allison loses a tire on the frontstretch at 210 mph, gets airborne and tears down the grandstand catch fence.

Miraculously, the car does not go into the crowd. From then on, restrictor plates are mandated. Allison's son Davey goes on to win the race.

Luckily, Allison was okay.

Unfortunately, we can't say the same for Ricky Bobby after a simliar incident:

Oct. 2000: Running 18th with four laps to go, the Dale Earnhardt scores a stunning rally and rides a push from Kenny Wallace to a last-lap triumph that sends the crowd into a delirious frenzy. It would be the final race victory for the seven-time champion.
