David Pearson and Richard Petty finished one-two 63 times. They finished in this particular order 33 times.
How’s this for a crazy stat…93 of Richard Petty’s 200 Cup wins came in races where David Pearson wasn’t in the field.
Pearson only scored eight of his 105 Cup wins in races were Petty wasn’t entered. The “what if” list is long in the history of NASCAR, but it’s almost inconceivable to think what the record books may look like if Pearson desired to run full time in the seventies.
