  • I think David Pearson is the best driver in Nascar history. Petty and Earnhardt were great but the Silver Fox was the best

    November 12, 2018... The legend David Pearson passed away. May the "Silver Fox" rest in peace.
  • @lolbr-tn6kq
    I was a very young man growing up, watching this car & this man dominate the race. Once a year if I was lucky. Thanks Wide World of Sports.
  • @edowens5207
    David Pearson was my all time favorite. Also the best driver Nascar ever had.
  • @JC-gw3yo
    Ah, the glorious years of NASCAR, and Ford was there !!
  • @genemartin6962
    One of the greatest quotes of all time concerning stock car racing was when they asked David which one was better him or Richard Petty and he said " Well Richard said that David Pearson was the best stock car driver he ever saw and I guess I will just have to agree with Richard". NASCAR did not know what it had with those two and NASCAR will never see two more like them.

  • @Amber90125
    The Silver Fox was one hell of a driver and gave Richard Petty all he could handle and more
  • @midatlanticcycle
    Wood brothers have that damn cool virginia drawl. those were the days, folks.
  • @jasonvogue4487
    The best…. My favorite quote he made. Not racing. It was aircraft… he said “ Take off is optional, Landing Is mandatory “
  • @bluedoggg1
    He was more than a driver he was a Master tactician. You can't win unless you first finish.
  • @nvsssnake
    My all time favorite too, #21 Pearson and the Wood Brothers. When I started racing in cross country air races I raced #21 and won a lot. I'd put the same gold number 21 on the airplane.
