  • RIP The Silver Fox

    We lost David Pearson. He was by far my favorite race car driver growing up. He and the Wood Brothers were responsible for me loving the '71 Mercury Montego which won the first NASCAR race my dad ever took me to.

    David Pearson, a NASCAR pioneer and longtime rival of Richard Petty, has died. He was 83.
    Just groovin' to my own tune.

        Pearson was a racecar driver! He knew how to make a car handle. Back in the day there was no aero push, down force unlike to day. The kids who call themselves racecar drivers couldn't hang 5 minutes with this guy. RIP David.

            Pearson and Petty were my faves in the NASCAR of my youth. They weren't just rednecks turning left - they were southern gents who raced.

              Amen! I will keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers. He was indeed one of the greatest. A real class act and certainly deserved all the respect he got.
