The late Benny Parsons became best-remembered by many fans during NASCAR’s explosive growth in the 1990s, as a smiling color commentator and announcer on the top-level Cup Series television programming on ESPN. This vocation made him more familiar than many retired drivers, but Parsons’ true legacy was one of championships and driving. This car, the original 1973 No. 72 Chevrolet Chevelle that Parsons piloted dramatically to a world title late that season, is perhaps the very best memento of a storied and successful career in circle-track racing and will be offered for sale at Mecum Auctions’ January 3–13 sale in Kissimmee, Florida.
