Neil Bonnett may have started first, but he isn't the one who won the
pole. David Pearson drove the #12 Budweiser Chevrolet.

Cale was now 3/3 on tracks 2.5 miles or longer in 84'! Those Waddell
Wilson power plants were on the money!

DC Listing-
David Pearson- #12 Budweiser Chevrolet (owned by Junior Johnson)

Neil Bonnett was recovering from a broken wrist suffered at Martinsville
earlier in the season at the time of this race and Junior Johnson wanted
to give it time to heal so he drafted in David Pearson to help the team
out in this one. The Silver Fox was only running a partial schedule in
1984 and Pocono wasn't on it so he was glad to pitch in; putting the #12
Chevy on the pole for the only time all season in qualifying and earning
his last Cup pole in the process. On race day Bonnett started the race,
getting credit for the start and the points, and led the first two laps
but pulled in and handed the car over to Pearson after an early caution
few laps later. Pearson turned in a solid run driving the #12 and
finished 14th.

This has to be one of the rare times a car in a Cup race led laps with
two different drivers at the wheel over the course of the same race.
Bonnett led the opening laps and once he handed the #12 Monte Carlo over
to Pearson he also led a lap with it later on.

According to Mizlou's broadcast, Jocko Maggiacomo was supposed to have
started 37th, making it a 40-car field. Must have had a problem between
qualifying and the race.

Also, Maggiacomo was driving his usual #63 car.

As an addendum to my earlier posts, Jocko Maggiacomo apparently blew an
engine in qualifying. The car was a #63 Linro Motorsports Oldsmobile,
owner Jim Rosenblum, as was the case with his Daytona 500 DNQ.

Mike Joy and Donnie Allison were the commentators. Charlie Harville was
the sole pit road reporter.
