The combination of David Pearson and The Wood Brothers from 1972 to 1979 was, in my opinion, the greatest in NASCAR history. They never ran a full schedule, only running 18 to 21 races per year. Had they run a full schedule, I believe they would have won at least 4 and maybe 5 Winston Cup Championships. In 1973 alone, they won 11 of 18 races they entered. What a great team!
This was back when there were real cars in nascar!!!! You could tell one make from the other without having a sticker on it. Now they are all just cookie cutter plastic things, same body, same engine, that have to have a sticker across the windshield to let the fans know what brand of car it is🤦♂️redicioulas!!!!
I am calmer and feel better now after seeing and hearing this rolling piece of history. Endorphins were released and I have become one with the universe and achieved detente. Nothing like the sound of a tight lobe separation cam.
If Pearson had run the full schedule, especially with the Wood Brothers, Petty would not have won seven championships and this comes from a lifelong Petty fan.
Nothing else sounds like a big block v8 just remember what it sounded like with 42 big blocks coming around the first turn at Daytona it was earty shaddering
