laughedatbytime Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Film of the finish of the 1976 Daytona 500, one of the most famous finishes in NASCAR history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Probably the highest average finish in NASCAR history. Nobody was more consistent and more dominant. He won 105 races in a somewhat truncated career, where he won three championships despite never actually completing a full NASCAR season. If it wasn't for the bad back that plagued his career, he could easily have split up a larger portion of Petty's 200. One of only 5 stock car drivers worthy of being argued as GOAT. This is an incalculable loss for motorsports everywhere. Edited November 13, 2018 by KenJennings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Interesting hearing Jackie Stewart, a bloke, calling a NASCAR race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 What a loss for NASCAR and the racing community. They don't make 'em like that anymore. RIP, Mr. Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
