He just hated that Mercury and I grew up hating it as well. I remember, very vividly, at the age of 5, sitting with dad in the old front stretch grandstands and booing Pearson as he took the checkered (Under caution as I remember). 4.

He was flying. Only 12 cars finished this race. 7. Sébastien posted: 07.23.2009 - 12:45 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Ed Negre #8 and Roy Mayne #25 were both sponsored by "Clyde Lynn's Inc." G.C. Spencer #49 was sponsored by "Sheffield Auto Mart" Dick Brooks #98 was sponsored by Truxmore Industries. Dave Marcis #2 & Cecil Gordon #24 show no sponsor on any angle. btw the Clarence Lovell #61 Chevrolet was a '73 model. 8. allen posted: 04.03.2010 - 5:29 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Great days when Joe Blow's Bar and Grill could chip in a few bucks and get some quality advertizing on a car.....My how things have changed.... 9.
