This series is in honor of the legends of
the sport of NASCAR racing who have passed away. There is something
for everyone (the numbers hounds or the history buffs). The series
is meant to be done from east to west. Please park completely off
of the road and use caution at all times. Most weekends, there
isn't more than a handfull of cars along this road but 2 weekends a
year this becomes one of the largest cities in the
State!
Benny Parsons, North Carolina native, was a
successful NASCAR driver, winning 21 titles in his career. This
leads to him being voted one of the 50 best NASCAR drivers of all
time and inducted into the Stock Car Racing Hall of Fame. Parsons
was able to transition into TV, as an analyst for ESPN, winning an
Emmy in 1996. American racecar driver (born July 12, 1941 , Wilkes
county, N.C.—died Jan. 16, 2007 , Charlotte, N.C.) was named
(1988) by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing among
the all-time 50 greatest NASCAR drivers. He captured 21 NASCAR
titles during his career (1964 and 1969–88), including two
premier races—the Daytona 500 in 1975 and the World 600 in
1980—and was crowned Winston Cup champion in 1973. Parsons, a
onetime cab driver, had a folksy personality that was well suited
to his second career as a sports announcer and analyst; in 1996 he
won an Emmy Award for his reportage for ESPN. He was inducted into
the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Stock
Car Racing Hall of Fame in 1998.
