NASCAR legend Benny Parson dies

http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/6376034

Benny Parsons, who charmed television audiences with his folksy demeanor as much as he impressed fans with his ability as a driver, died Tuesday at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte following complications from lung disease. He was 65.


We will truly miss this great man.

Re: Benny Parsons Dies

I like him better than DW as a commentator. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear of this, it's a shame. One of the greatest, truly.

Re: NASCAR legend Benny Parson dies

It's a sad month for NASCAR indeed. Bobby Hamilton just past away and now Benny Parson. Two high profile names gone, but not forgotten.
It's so unfortunate, but may the Lord be with them.

R.I.P.
