Benny competed at several tracks in Southern Michigan, Northern Ohio, and Indiana area. Benny was very successful with the team's cars, with Wayne Bennett at Auto City, Dixie, Flat Rock, Mt. Clemens, and Toledo.
He started his new car-racing career in 1965 with ARCA and won Rookie of the year honors that year. In 1968-69, he ran a few ARCA new car races and several of the local late model shows.

Benny clinched the 1973 Winston Cup title at Rockingham in this very battered car.
He then worked as a announcer and color man with ABC, CBS, ESPN, SCTN, and WTBS TV, and MRM radio and several big racing shows. Everyone on this board knows of Benny's accomplishments. Need I say more?
Benny Parsons died of cancer on January 16, 2007. (1941 - 2007)
