Never heard that tale before. Unbelievable.

Apparently back in the 70's David was winning so many poles at Charlotte that Humpy decided to put an end to it. On the advice of Banjo Matthews, who said David's secret was the way he went into turn one, Humpy dug up 300 feet of the track and reconfigured it in turn one just mess David up on pole day.

Didn't work, David won the pole anyway. Wheeler was in his office following qualifying when he gets a phone call. It's Pearson who says only "You fixed the wrong turn"

:D :D :D :D
 
Got to love the ol' silver fox!

I had,in fact heard the story around Hueytown years ago.Pearson was a pretty unshakable guy by most accounts.

Humpy has never been one of my favorite characters of the Nascar mythos....and in some parts he is downright dis-liked!Undeniably a great guy for the sport in some respects,but that was just too much!

Still laughing at David's response! :lol: :lol:
