I hear that the Larry Pearson/Bobby Jones Pontiac will be #50, celebrating NASCAR’s 50th Anniversary. The car will also carry the David Pearson/Wood Brothers paint scheme. NASCAR Online reports in a story about Pearson that they will have sponsorship help from Bio-Met, a Warsaw, Ind., medical equipment company. Pearson said the team is close to signing a primary sponsor, and the team is hoping to make that announcement as early as next week. To commemorate NASCAR’s 50th anniversary next season, Pearson’s cars will carry a red, white and gold paint scheme, similar to that used by his father, David, during his glory years with the Wood Brothers NASCAR Winston Cup team.(12-3-97)
