Very sad news this morning from jayski.com:

Sad News: Benny Parsons: Benny Parsons, 65, passed away today [Jan 16] at the Intensive Care Unit of the Carolinas Medial Center in Charlotte, NC. Parsons, who became a popular television and radio personality after retiring from driving in 1988, entered the hospital Dec. 26 as the result of complications stemming from his battle with lung cancer. The cancer was diagnosed earlier this year and was recently reported to be in full remission. More info on services as it becomes available. See info about Benny's career and bios at BennyParsons.com, goPRN.com or rendezvousridge.com.(1-16-2007)
 
This is truly a sad day.

He was the voice of NASCAR before FOX and Darrell Waltrip, there was Benny and

his short subjects on ESPN Programs and RPM 2 Night.

And he was a great racer to back up what he said winning the Nextel Cup Title (1973) and the Daytona 500 (1975).

It sucks that he died because of Lung Cancer.

All I know is that he is a much better place and I hope to see him there with him.
 
For me NASCAR on TV was Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons as a kid. A shame that Benny has left us for that big speedway in the sky. God speed.
