Johnny Canuck Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Great build. Love this car. In 1973 season, this Mercury earned the second highest win percentage (18 races, 11 wins, 14 top 5s) of all time for a single car and driver. Any guesses which driver and which model car hold the record. It isn't Petty in '67. Like Pearson, our winner did not run a full season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put Pearson ahead of Petty as the greatest driver since he often ran a partial schedule and racked up significant wins. He wasn't called The Silver Fox for nothing. A very calculating driver IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Canuck Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) So, no guesses yet to my Mercury-inspired trivia question as to which driver and which car enjoyed the greatest success rate in the events they entered over the course of one single season. Already gave one clue: didn't run a full season. Here's another: He's a Hall of Famer. Edited October 31, 2023 by Johnny Canuck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that Dick Trickle had one in his cars too. He smoked when he drove.... I knew lots of short track locals that would light up during yellow flags. Here's one... there was a southern driver, Neil Castles that drove with a pistol in the car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
