In 1970, the vacum created by a withdrawing Ford Motor Company, lured another entrepeneur to the NASCAR scene. His name was Chris Vallo; "You Name It" was his company's slogan. In his very short role as a Grand National team owner, surprisingly, Vallo fielded a #33 Pontiac GTO for David Pearson, and a #28 Plymouth for an out-of-retirement Fred Lorenzen. The Vallo team disbanded after a few events and Lorenzen, and Pearson (briefly) wound up with Ray Nichels. But, Pearson would quickly move to the Wood Bros.
