RIP David Pearson

[PHHHHTT]

For those of you who appreciated NASCAR when it was really NASCAR,
David Pearson and The Wood Brothers partnership had a major influence on the racetracks with the #21 Mercury.

Yep....Imagine driving a brick front Montego at 200 mph!
Big American sedans with shapes that allowed you to tell what kind of car was actually on the track!

versus today's cookie cutter Camrys.....:puke:

RIP Mr. Pearson.

Undeniably the best driver ever.

Petty may have had more championships and wins, but he entered way more races and ran full seasons (many of those years in better equipment than what Pearson had running partial seasons).
