==The Alabama Gang== Hueytown was home to one of the dominant racing groups in [[NASCAR]], the [[Alabama Gang]]. The city's main thoroughfare, Allison-Bonnett Memorial Drive, takes its name from drivers [[Bobby Allison]], [[Donnie Allison]], [[Davey Allison]], [[Clifford Allison]], and [[Neil Bonnett]]. The Alabama Gang also includes racing legend [[Red Farmer|Charles "Red" Farmer]]. Though not considered a member of The Alabama Gang, Bobby and Donnie's older brother Eddie Allison had an active role in NASCAR for many years as a respected engine builder and still resides in Hueytown. His son, Jacob, is a radio personality on Birmingham, Alabama station [[WJOX-FM|WJOX]]. He also resides in Hueytown. * Bobby and Donnie Allison were originally from the [[Miami]], [[Florida]] area; another member, Red Farmer, was a Nashville, Tennessee native but had raced in the Miami area before moving to Hueytown. Because of its established motorsports roots, Hueytown was chosen as [[BMW Motorsport]]'s initial North American base of operations before its first season with the [[International Motor Sports Association]] (IMSA) in 1975.
