Just saw a report that the Silver fox has passed, at the age of 83.
David Pearson, Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, Bobby and Donnie Allison. The guys that were driving when I first became aware of motorsports back in the 1970's. RIP.
He was a better driver than Richard, he just didn't have Richard's resources.
RIP.
I live in the same county and I swear I thought he had already passed. Long as I’ve been here, I’ve never come across him in public. I did see Bud Moore and Cotton Owens a few times.

MEN!!
