While looking for some pictures of Gran American Modifieds I stumbled across this.

I am guessing they ran at Bowman-Gray? (smaller tires)

There is a website for a Jeff Pearsall, formerly of Long Island. Maybe it is the same guy.

Anyone know anything else?

No #7, well the one above, ran at Bowman Gray this year.
The other link is not Pearsall's website, it seems it is an old profile from the defunct SMART Tour series.
So not sure of any of the above....

As sometimes happens to me, I didn't quite follow your response. (The lingering effects of Chemo-brain.)

So. The 7Ny for sale in the ad had run Bowman-Gray this past year.
But you do not think it is the Pearsall guy who ran it?

I know the Pearsall link is from the old SMART Tour site, but the 7NY has "Pearsall Motorsports" on the tail panel, and the Jersey Mike's sponsor is on the 7ny and the SMART site.

In looking at the Bowman-Gray site I see there was a Bobby Reed who ran a #7 at the Stadium. Wasn't there a Reed family from the Island that moved south?

I just don't know how I feel about people running that number. I know it is meant to pay respects and honor the Tiger, but I don't like it. But that is just me.

My mistake I see. My post meant to say it DIDN'T run Bowman Gray last year. Sorry.

It says his father is Bobby Pearsall,
Bobby ran at Islip.
He just called me a few weeks ago about the George Brown coupe that I have.

Do they run an SK type car down South?
I know there is a group that runs modern chassis's with older-style bodies, but I hadn't even thought that there might have been an SK group down there. That would good if there is.
