Despite never running the entire Cup schedule, Pearson posted numbers that place him second to only Richard Petty on the all-time win list with 105 victories. He scored those 105 wins in only 574 starts, giving him a winning percentage of 18.29 percent. Among those 105 wins are six victories at Daytona International Speedway, including the 1976 Daytona 500.
Pearson claimed his final Cup win during a 1980 season in which he competed in nine events. He went on to race at NASCAR's top level sporadically for a few more years. He last competed in 1986, running two races that season.
