LarryPearson undoubtedly was thinking more about his own career than his father's unparalleled 10 Winston Cup victories at this 1.366-mile oval as he won his first winner's trophy in almost seven years.
Pearson's crew chief, 25-year-old Ryan Pemberton, had determined that Pearson was faster on used tires than on new ones, and that his greatest disadvantage was poor track position because of his starting spot.
Pearson had never been particularly fond of Darlington and was irritated with last year's repaving because it took away his preferred groove in turns three and four.
But the confessions of the ministers, their apologies to the House, the Alliance asking ministers who were not invited to the fishing lodge by the Irvings to stand up and be counted, then watching them do so in the House was all comic relief compared to real scandals that have plagued politicians in the past.
Pearson survived all these scandals in part because revelations about a Tory minister's affair with reputed prostitute and security risk Gerda Munsinger put the heat on the Tories.
Larry has been a critic, reporter, producer and consultant for CBC news and current affairs since he joined the CBC in 1962.
