David and Cale back in the day, or was it.


And the saga continues from race to race in the carolinas between these two good ole guys but this may be one some havent heard before
Now you know David and Cale are hard chargers Right??
Cale Yarborough & David Pearson had been battling each other for years on the track. They knew the others driving style well. They were battling one time for the lead. Track im not going to mention because it will give yall something to think about-------------
cale and david were battling for the leads and had swapped positions several times but now cale has the lead
Cale was leading but was slower than Pearson. Pearson gave Cale the chrome horn. several times but Cale didnt budge from his spot in front of David. Again and again , the Silver Fox bumped Cale. Still, Cale wouldnt give up the position.

Cale shook his fist at David & he knew that meant Cale would get him back for the bumps. it was getting close to the end of the race and Pearson went ahead & spun Cale out and took the position. and held on to win

After the race, Pearson sees Cale eating a Cherry Pie a fan had given him and was walking his wayGood ole american pie.
Cale walks up to David and asked why did ya spin me out?

David responded Cale you know why I did. I warned you a couple of times. You refused to give. I knew when you shook that fist that you were gonna retaliate.
Cales answer was a pie in Davids face,Yup he shoved it in davids face

I'm going to take a wild guess and say either Dixie Speedway, Woodstock, GA. or Spartanburg Speedway, SC in a Late Model race.

I don't know the answer but had a good laugh trying to visualize the whole thing.

Not trying to contradict the story, but in the video Stock Car Legends Reunion when David Pearson retold the story, it was Tiny Lund that hit him with the pie, not Cale.

Sorry about this but I flew through this quick as it popped up on screen and I was busy as heck---what I get for not reading what I think I saw.

First line of the post I put up has the catch to it (or was it) SEE IT? Cody sorry buddy but you wrong--no pie for you...... Jay Coker has put up a post which David told the story. Jay your pie is on the way
