He nev- er complains, never gripes about track conditions, how his car is running, or the oilier little things that come up from 'time to time." An easy going, completely unassuming product of the industrial sections of Spartanburg, S.C., Pearson gets his "gray fox" label partly because of his prematurely graying hair land partly because of his driving strategy. One of the sport's top charg- crs when that type of driving is called for, he also is one of its leading strategists. He always goes for the pole position in a race, mainly because it pays- a bonus but also because he figures the front row is the best place to stjart. But he doesn't always assert himself by trying lo lead the race from the first flag. His victory in the Winston 500 Sunday was a typical Pearson strategy session.

"I don't know how I got hrough it--it was bad enough when I got there--but I'm sure I would have been smack in the middle of everything bad 1 aeen running closer to tbe leaders," Pearson said. He went on to win the race by a full lap over the second place finisher, and in the process tied the record for consecutive superspeedway victories.

In a 250-miler at Martinsville, a week earlier, Pearson found himself with a badly handling car and got two laps behind. But be made it up by expert use of caution flags and quick work by his crew to ake up the deficit. When he gained the id, Pearson found himself iiscd by Yarborough, who ob- ously had the fastest ma- ine. But the cagy Pearson Id his challenger off at every int on the half-mile course, fusing to yield to pressure. Yarborough, who later com- ained about Pearson's block- tactics, finally became so iistrated that be tried to cut side the leader in an effort to rce him out of the groove, irborough spun off the course id before he couW get going ain.

Pearson was long gone to ctory. Pearson, who smiles freely is laconic but frank in his ealings with the other drivers, nokes moderately and limits after-hours pleasure to ghball or two with Isaac and nother long-time friend, uilder Bud Moore.
