Benny Parsons, who charmed television audiences with his folksy demeanor as much as he impressed fans with his ability as a driver, died Tuesday at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte following complications from lung disease. He was 65.

Very sad news, I was really hoping he was going to pull through.

It's amazing to think he kept on broadcasting during his chemo, especially now we know it destroyed his lung...

RIP Benny.
