@dennyhamlin Thanks Denny. And thanks to everyone else for the nice comments. I can say with certainty that there has never been a bigger fan in the booth. There may have been in the past or currently in the booth as big a fan, but not bigger. He absolutely LOVED stock car racing.

@Basso488 First Cup win I was present for and second one overall.

[Kevin Parsons @KevinParsons98]

@philparsons98 At least I had the good sense to keep quiet and listen most of the time! Great man.

@philparsons98 I couldn’t say it any better than Phil. In between my junior and senior years of college I spent the summer at Leo’s learning about engines while my dad was driving the 55 car. He even let me live in his basement that summer. Most days I had lunch with him and Banjo Matthews.

@bobpockrass Thanks Bob. It was quite an honor. It was a pleasure to meet you today also.

@mikejoy500 @ChrisSi47254421 Something I also find interesting about those years is that the Riverside race was run under the previous year’s rules. January of ‘81 they ran the bigger cars (112” wheelbase) before going to the smaller cars at Daytona a month later.

@JDNASCARTech @bakerracingpix @LegendsNascar @philparsons98 @kp2world @StefanParsons98 He drove for MC Anderson in 79 and 80. 1978 was his last year with LG DeWitt.

@JDNASCARTech I still live just a few hundred yards away! And John’s son, John Jr. still works on vehicles there when he’s not working for CSX railroad.

@LegendsNascar @NASCAR @philparsons98 @kp2world Amazingly that is the same car that was in the Hall of Fame the year he was inducted.

@LukeDeCock @kp2world I have been telling him that for years! I’m not a writer, but he is. I’m barely a reader!

[Kevin Parsons @KevinParsons98]

@kp2world @toomuchcountry Thanks so much!! I still remember the phone call our dad made to tell us he won. I was five but remember it like it was yesterday!
