Hi family.I never got to meet Benny but I was told that he was part of the family by my Dad. He was like a 5th cousin. I always saw him on TV. I wish that I would have talked to him. God Bless all of you.

I was honored to meet Benny back about 1993 in the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach. He was promoting his cook book and signed my program for me. It was near closing time and Benny was there next to Tim Flock and Donny Allison. There were only a few people there so I stayed around as long as I could just to hear them chat. I didn't buy one of Benny's cook books but he didn't mind. He gladly signed my program and smiled just the same.
I always enjoyed Benny's restaurant segments on...

BP is another from his era who passes the torch to the next generation of drivers. Carry it with the same class and all will be well with the sport.
