Pond #54 was sponsored by Pepsi, the car is a '77 Monte Carlo.

Donnie Allison replaced David Pearson during one of the cautions in this
race. Pearson walked across the track in front of the cars to exit the
track and was pulled over for speeding while leaving the track. The
police officer reportedly quipped "I watched the first part of the race
and you didn't pass anyone the whole time, I don't know why you want to
start now."

This has got to be BS!

Pond did not have the Pepsi sponsorship in 1977,only in 1976. I was at
this race and the #54 was all blue and had Lennie Pond Fan Club on the
quarterpanels.

Cale Yarborough wins again to sweep the two Martinsville races for 1977.
This victory gave Cale and Junior Johnson's Holly Farms #11 squad its
third win in a row at the famed Virginia paperclip.

"There's nothing conservative about Cale Yarborough's driving
style...maybe his politics" - Ken Squire on the MRN radio broadcast of
this one just before halfway.

I'm not sure the truth of the cop story listed above but David Pearson
did indeed hand the #21 Mercury over to Donnie Allison just before
halfway. Pearson was getting sick because of fumes in the car and had to
get out because of it.

Sam Sommers turns in an impressive run to finish fifth. This was his
second top-5 but his last top-5 and top-10 finish in Cup competition.

This might be the race that DW got the engine change from his team in 10
minutes, he claimed during the 2001 Winston that Digard his team lead by
Buddy Parrot was able to change an engine in 10 minutes and he still
finished 10th.
