chauncey t. maggiacomo , jr. -lrb- born november 30 , 1947 -rrb- known as `` jocko '' or , in high school , as `` chant , '' was a racing car driver from poughkeepsie , new york .
he is infamous for t-boning bobby allison , all but ending both careers , although most people agree that the accident was not maggiacomo 's fault .
his father chauncey t. maggiacomo -lrb- also nicknamed jocko -rrb- was a famous modified stock car racer in the northeast .
jocko sr. won multiple championships at riverside park speedway in agawam , mass. , and won the track 's biggest event , the riverside 500 .
he is a member of the new england auto racers hall of fame .
jocko jr. , followed a different path , racing sportscars with the scca .
he rose to the professional ranks , winning the 1976 scca trans am series championship driving an ex-roger penske/mark donohue amc javelin .
moving to nascar , maggiacomo started 23 winston cup races in 10 seasons , primarily in the northeastern united states .
unable to avoid a spinning bobby allison in the 1988 miller high life 500 at pocono , the t-bone crash with maggiacomo ended allison 's driving career .
according to maggiacomo 's autobiography , he chose to end his career too out of post-trauma stress disorder and guilt of t-boning allison .
