motor sports Halls of Fame for a NASCAR career that included 21 wins and 283
top-ten finishes. Over a nine-year stretch (1972-1980), he never finished
lower than fifth in a race. After retiring from racing in 1988, Parsons
became a broadcaster, first with ESPN and, beginning in 2001, with NBC
and TNT. His coverage earned him the nickname "the Professor", and Parsons
won an Emmy Award in 1996. In 2006, Parsons began chemotherapy after being

Parsons was hospitalized on December 26, 2006. He died on January 16, 2007 at
