Donnie Allison (born September 7, 1939) is an American former driver on the NASCAR Grand National/ Winston Cup circuit, who won ten times during his racing career, which spanned from 1966 to 1988. He is part of the "Alabama Gang", and is the brother of 1983 champion Bobby Allison and uncle of Davey Allison and Clifford Allison.

From the short tracks of Alabama to the high banks of Daytona, Donnie Allison left his mark on the sport of NASCAR racing. Veteran racer Donnie Allison is the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2024 inductee selected from the Pioneer Ballot, which honors racers whose careers began more than 60 years ago.

But Allison might be best known for his role in NASCAR’s most famous moment – his 1979 Daytona 500 fight with Cale Yarborough. An intense battle for the win ended with both drivers wrecked, scuffling in the infield.
