My No. 1 pick is simple -- Benny Parsons. The man won a championship, he won the Daytona 500 and he won races. A lot like Buddy Baker, Benny paved the way for folks like Darrell Waltrip and myself to have a second career after the actual racing part was over. Benny is one of those that is probably remembered equally as much as an announcer as he was a driver. The thing I loved the most about Benny and Buddy is they never met a stranger. They were kind, easy-going and approachable by the fans.
Again though, I want to stress that all 20 that are eligible are more than worthy of being a NASCAR Hall of Fame pick. There isn't a single name on that list that if they got picked I would question their credentials for our sports greatest honor.
