  • 3.05 that guy was pulling himself.

  • DAVID PEARSON CAN BE SEEN MOST ANYTIME AT CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY,DURING THE AUTO FAIR CAR SHOW,DOWN IN THE FOURTH TURN AREA UNDER A TENT

  • Who is "Davis Pearson"?

  • This was the most competitive 600 in the event's history to that point - the lead changed 43 times between Cale, David, Waltrip, Benny Parsons, and the Allisons.

  • davis pearson was and still is a bad ass. i wish he ran nascar instead of this brian france moron

  • check out richard petty's dodge magnum a few months later richard switched to GM cars

  • This is RAW video shot by CBS the day of the race, it would not be shownuntil 3 weeks later. The following year, CBS would record the entire MRN radiocast as the audio track to help in editing. For 1980 and 81, they went LIVE...if not flag-to-flag. CBS first picked up the World 600 in 1975...it was on film that year as far as I know.

  • Wow! Where did you get this footage? Amazing.

  • Sweet!! I wish they'd slow the cars down nowadays to these speeds. The racing would be much better! Thanks for posting these old videos!

  • Beautiful.
