Pearson Wins 500 Miler Amid Rain Delay at Darlington
David Pearson held off Donnie Allison to win the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway for his second straight victory. The race endured a 1 hour 32 minute rain delay and seven cautions, with Pearson pulling clear in the final laps after a crucial 4.2 second pit stop. Allison led earlier and would have won the $207000 event if not for Pearson’s faster pit crew and consistent pace. Buddy Baker finished third, Richard Petty fourth, and Cale Yarborough fifth as 32 lead changes marked the 367 lap race.
