Racing Legends Bobby Allison and Fred Lorenzen at Elmhurst Historical Museum [VIDEO]

Elmhurst Historical Museum posted this three-minute YouTube video of NASCAR legend Bobby Allison explaining how he got interested in racing at about 10 years old.

"I would mow people's grass or do whatever to get people to take me to the races," Allison says.

The video of Allison and fellow racing legend Fred Lorenzen of Elmhurst was shot Thursday, April 4, in the gallery of Elmhurst Historical Museum's exhibit, On the Road to Glory: Fred Lorenzen, with Allison's wife, Judy, and Lorenzen's daughter, Amanda Gardstrom.

“Fred Lorenzen and Bobby Allison were kindred spirits,” said Lance Tawzer, curator of exhibits at the Elmhurst Historical Museum. “Fred was a mentor to Bobby when he was getting his start in racing."

Allison narrated the original documentary that plays in the gallery, and he provided anecdotes and insight on Lorenzen’s career to help develop the storyline of the exhibit.

The exhibit is open through May 19 at the museum, 120 E. Park Ave.
