Benny Parsons was hands down the best "colour" guy in NASCAR. I enjoy DW and Larry, but Benny had a good way about him, and in his ESPN Days he hooked me for good on the way they covered NASCAR. I will miss Benny, and his humour, his insight, and the way he carried himself.
Benny Parsons was one of the true gentleman of the sport, and his passing is too soon.
Rest in Peace Benny, and know in heaven, you will have a lot of friends waiting for you....."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

Rip Bp
A friend of mine called me while I was on my way in to work tonight. All I could think of when he told me was "OH, MAN!!!" just the way BP himself would have said it. As much as it hurt to hear it, I actually cracked a smile.
We'll miss you BP, very much. I guess God needed a color guy to broadcast the Heaven 500 this year. Say hi to Dale Sr, Davey, Neil, and Adam for me...

SAD
The races won't be the same without Benny, his smile, his knowledge, and his great sense of humor. Benny will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

BP and the rest of the ESPN gang are what helped hook me on NASCAR. RIP BP, great broadcaster and a great driver.
Racing season is soon upon us!:smokin:
I’m pretty sure they said since they got back to Alghero they should be able to do it.
