I remember him as a child watching all the early days of Nascar....he had a very catchy name. Who ever said that taxi drivers....couldn`t drive. Thanks for the memories. R.I.P.

I got to see Benny run in his last Daytona 500, 1988.
I'm still digging out the pictures.
"Man Oh Man !! Look at Junior Go !"
It was no secret he was a big fan of the 8.
Rest In Peace Benny http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

His commentary was good,but he'll be known best for making left turns.

We can put Mickey Thompson and his wife to rest finally they convicted his partner Mike Goodwin for having them killed. RIP Benny and Mickey

I was bummed to hear that BP passed as well. Having been a long time Nascar fan and going to races since 76.I met BP at Pocono Raceway when I was 10, He signed my program and posed for a picture with me in the garage area. Real nice guy. I pulled that program out last night after many years of it being stored and noticed his autograph as well as Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, David Pearson, Buddy Baker, and a bunch of other notable drivers. Brought back a lot of memories. RIP BP
In or out of the spotlight BP was one of the good guys. I doubt he had a real enemy in the world.
