<p>That's too bad. I have gotten into NASCAR the last few years and he will be missed.</p><p>Although I prefer Fox over NBC, he was still a good announcer and I'm sure a good person.</p><p>I'm sorry to hear about this.</p>

A true legend in his sport,but I bet the &quot;N &quot; word sounded real smooth rolling off his tongue!

At least he's up in Heaven with his brother Gram.

<p>I cant fucking believe this! I met Benny Parsons in Daytona when I was working at the track and he was the absolute nicest guy in the world. Race broadcasting is NOT the same without him, and racing won't be the same without him. This is a HUGE loss to the racing community.</p><p>Man.....first ESD is gone, then the shows are fighting, and now we lose BP.... </p><p>I dont think it could get much worse today.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
