Pearson was blowing smoke during the final laps but never got black
flagged. Petty suggested it was pandering to the sponsor, as Purolator
had both the race and the lead car.

At that time, NASCAR rules allowed a driver four laps to respond to a
black flag. The black flag waved with two laps remaining so Pearson was
within the rules. As for pandering, Purolator actually helped raise
money for the late Randy Owens' family. Prior to this race, Purolator
allowed the Richard Petty Fan Club to meet under their hospitality tent.
Purolator's stipulation was that Petty would charge his fans admission
and then donate the proceeds to Randy Owens' survivors. Grateful for
Purolator's charity, Richard Petty said after the race that he was glad
the Purolator team won, if the STP team couldn't. Randy Owens was Lynda
Petty's brother who was killed in a freak air tank explosion at
Talladegea three months earlier.

The race time probably should be 4 hours, 29 minutes, and 10 seconds
because otherwise we are talking the fastest race in Pocono history,
when this was the slowest.
