SEE ALSO NASCAR TRIBUTE

"Benny Parsons' personality and heart transcended his role as a sports figure. He was a wonderful human being and he warmed the lives of those lucky enough to know him.

"We were all looking forward to Benny's return to the Infineon Raceway broadcast team this summer. Benny loved coming to Sonoma. He fit naturally into the local culture of good food and hospitality and he always gave generously of his time for community and charity functions during race week.

"Like all of Benny's fans in Northern California, we will miss him terribly."
