On this day ... July 28

1974: David Pearson starts eighth in the Dixie 500 at Atlanta, his lowest start of the season. Pearson competes in 19 of 30 races, wins 11 poles, starts second twice, third four times and fourth twice. He wins seven races and finishes in the top five 15 times. The other four races? DNFs. On this day, he finishes second to Richard Petty by 21 seconds.
