      Arguably the greatest Nascar driver of all time, if you look at it percentage wise.

        He was always so humble. Even after he just got done handing everybody their a$$ on the speedway. Seemed like a real nice man.

          Absolutely 100% correct.
          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

            Is Earl related to him? Always wanted to ask but never want to bother him. I know David is from South Carolina and Earl just across the line in FL. I think I heard David did some kind of dirt racing in his retirement before his stroke. Just curious.

              Very sad to hear. He was my Dad’s favorite driver. And I loved his demeanor. My brother a few years back got his autograph for my Dad. Now that they have both passed on maybe they’ll meet.

              And I loved his nickname too. Stan Lee and David Pearson, two people I really admired, now gone. RIP Silver Fox.

                  Someone else may know more, but short answer no.

                      No argument from me, The Silver Fox was the man!
                      RIP Mr Pearson

                          The first nascar race I seen live was at Darlington and Mr. Pearson won about 1974 I believe. After that I always liked him. RIP Sliver Fox

                              RIP Silver Fox. They don't make them like that anymore.
