It was one year ago today that Benny Parsons died.
Not that there is ever a ‘good time’ to lose someone you really like, but with the fervor of Daytona testing starting it still seems doubly sad to not have Benny’s humor, insight and experience any more.
Dale Earnhardt Sr. is gone. Rusty Wallace and Ricky Rudd have retired. Dale Jarrett is retiring. Kenny Schrader and Bill Elliott are racing sometimes albeit in mediocre equipment.
It’s like going to a family reunion where all the great aunts and uncles are gone and only the kids remain. Just not the same.
Change is inevitable…but not always welcome.
One year later we still miss you BP.”
