NASCAR Legend Bobby Allison made an appearance at Thunder Road in Barre on Friday and signed scores of autographs for race fans.

“Well, it's been a good day for me. People have been friendly and I got to talk to a lot of folks over there getting autographs,” Allison said then added, “I got some really nice gifts from the competitors and some of the fans here.”
