The very first time in his career that NASCAR's all-time winningest GN/Cup driver, Richard Petty ever finished second to the all-time 2nd winningest driver, David Pearson in a NASCAR race was in the 1964 Richmond 250 that began 53 years today on Sunday afternoon March 8, 1964 and concluded on Tuesday night March 10, 1964 under the old half-mile dirt track's original PERMANENT lights following a Sunday afternoon rain stop after 100 laps. I was there both days/nights. It was my first ever race.
