NOT THAT ANYONE WOULD BE CURIOUS ABOUT SUCH THINGS, BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE, HERE’S A QUESTION – HAS THERE EVER BEEN A NASCAR DRIVER WHO WON A RACE ON APRIL FOOL’S DAY? BECAUSE THAT’D BE SOMETHING.
The first driver who won a race on april 1 was David Pearson when he won the atlanta 500 in 1973
Earnhardt then won the race in 1979, in Bristol.
Waltrip also won in Bristol, in 1984
The 7-Time Cup Series champion won the 2007 race at Martinsville
