"So, do we want to sponsor David Pearson or Richard Petty for the Smoky Mountain race coming up?" "Why not both?" "Both?...Both is good." Not a bad call judging by how the King and the Silver Fox put their Torinos a full five laps in front of everyone else in this one. 4. possum posted: 07.27.2020 - 7:35 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) @3 - LOL. Actually, 1969 was the year that Petty was driving for Holman-Moody (technically his cars were entered by Petty Enterprises, but in reality they were part of Holman-Moody team). Holman-Moody cars usually carried the names of Ford dealers for nearby races, so it's little surprise to see East Tenn on both cars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
