David Pearson, who is without a doubt one of the five best drivers in the history of stock car racing, is the 2nd in the University of Racing Legends series. David is number two on the all time win list, has the second most pole position starts and has the third highest winning percentage in the history of the sport. David won 105 times and has three championships, the last coming in this car. The 1st diecast in the Legends series (Bobby Allison) was a sell out and is now very hard to find.

Cale Yarborough
His 83 wins places him at number
six on the all-time NASCAR winner's list (behind
Bobby Allison and
Darrell Waltrip, who are
tied for fourth with 84). His 14.82% winning percentage is
the ninth best all-time and third among those with 500 or
more starts. Yarborough won the
Daytona 500 four times; his
first win coming in 1968 for the
Wood Brothers, the second
in 1977 for
Junior Johnson, and
back-to-back wins in 1983 and 1984. In 1984, he became the
first driver to qualify for the
Daytona 500 with a top
speed of more than 200 miles per hour. Yarborough is a three
time National Motorsports Press Association Driver of the
Year (1977, 1978, 1979).
He made his first attempt in the Southern 500 as a teenager
by lying about his age, but he was caught and disqualified
by NASCAR. In
1957, Yarborough made his
debut as a driver at the Southern 500, driving the #30
Pontiac for Bob Weatherly,
starting 44th and finishing 42nd after suffering hub
problems. He ran for Weatherly two years later, and finished
27th. In
1960, Yarborough ran one
race, and had his first career top-fifteen, a
fourteenth-place finish at Southern States Fairgrounds. He
again ran one race in 1961, finishing 30th in the Southern
500 driving for
Julian Buesink. In
1962, Yarborough ran eight
races for Buesink, Don Harrison, and Wildcat Williams. He
earned his first top-ten at the
Daytona 500 Qualifying Race,
when he finished tenth.
