Bobby Allison, sitting with Fred Lorenzen at the Elmhurst, Illinois Historical Museum on April 5, 2013, tells how he got started in racing at Hialeah in Florida. Aren't we lucky to have folks in our sport like Bobby to do wonderful things like this? Bobby's wife, Judy and Fred's daughter, Amanda Gardstrom were also in the exhibit room, titled " On the Road to Glory: Fred Lorenzen" when this video was shot.

And this official Elmhurst Historical Museum video, written by NASCAR writer, Ben White and narrated by Bobby Allison & Ned Jarrett below from April 2, 2013

The subject of Fast Freddy came up in an email exchange with a friend of mine today. He had a neat insight. Its hard to compare drivers of different eras - a given. But he wondered who Lorenzen might drive for today if he were driving. He was always a Ford guy. But with his command of the wheel, a Midwesterner, and a handsome chap, my friend suggested he'd be entrenched in a Hendrick Chevy pitching product on a daily basis. I tend to think he is right.
