RACING RUIN

• When David Pearson was racing in the Rebel 500 at the Darlington Raceway, he pulled his race car over for a pit stop. His crew went about the business of changing all four of his tires, but Pearson didn't notice what they were doing because he kept his eyes riveted on the leader of the race who was also in for a pit stop. Pearson was under the mistaken impression that the crew was replacing the right tires only. They loosened the left tires as they were tightening the right tires. When Pearson gunned his engine and started to pull out, a crew member yelled, "Whoa!" but Pearson thought he said, "GO!" Fifty yards later, both left wheels left the car and went bouncing down the track. • At the Smoky Mountain Raceway in 1968, Buddy Baker's Dodge blew a tire, spun out of control, and crashed into the wall. Hurt and dazed, Baker needed a quick trip to the hospital. The ambulance, which was actually an old hearse, arrived and Baker was put on a wheeled stretcher and loaded into the back. Unfortunately, the back door didn't latch and when the ambulance pulled away, the back door flew open and Buddy, still strapped to the stretcher, went rolling out the back and down the racetrack. All the other race cars came around the corner heading right for the rolling gurney. Baker narrowly missed the oncoming autos, with the ambulance attendants chasing after him. Safely back in the vehicle, they headed to the hospital. Baker's bad luck was still hanging around, though-- and when the ambulance ran a red light, they had to swerve suddenly to avoid an accident with another car. The hearse skidded up onto the sidewalk, plowing into a set of garbage cans. The ambulance finally arrived at the hospital in spite of a flat tire. After being treated for fractured ribs and a concussion, Baker refused the offer of a ride back to the track in the ambulance.
