David Pearson Piloting the Mitigator Ford Fusion around Bristol Motor Speedway
The Mitigator Ford Fusion was on hand at the SCOTT’s EZ Seed Showdown this past weekend. The event was a success as we got to meet a lot of great NASCAR fans on friday at the SCOTT’s Hospitality booth. Fans got to meet David Pearson and get his autograph and get their picture taken next to the Mitigator Ford that was going to be driven by Pearson. Saturday after the Nationwide race, the Mitigator Ford Fusion took to the track for the race. Because of a bad draw, Pearson had to start last (12th) in the 35 lap event. He quickly worked his way up to 6th and looked to have one of the best cars out there. Unfortunately he would kiss the wall coming off of turn 4 midway thru the event and from then on the car just wasnt the same. The race was marred by one accident where Larry Pearson took a vicious hit in turn two. Larry spun in turn two and then Charlie Glotzbach had no where to go and crashed right into the drivers door of Pearson’s ride.
Seasgroup's own Rick McKinney was on hand for the event, Rick is shown here pushing the back of the car.
This brought out a lengthy red flag, and David decided that since the car wasn’t handeling all that great, and since his son was being transported to a local hospital that it was probablly best to start heading that way to the hospital. Larry had to undergo surgery on a broken ankle on saturday and has a broken pelvis and hand. But the family has said that he is ok but will require more surgery for the broken pelvis. All of us from Mitigatorinc.com wish Larry a speedy recovery and hope to see him back at the racetrack soon.
David Pearson was coming thru the field before slight contact with the wall wounded the car.
Many photos were taken from the event and we have posted a few of them here on Mitigatorinc.com. Thanks to everyone who came by and introduced themselves on Friday. It was a great event, and now the Mitigator Ford is being furiously worked on to race at Jefferson, Georgia this weekend. Come out at Gresham Motorsports Park this saturday March 27th to see the Mitigator Ford Fusion in action.
