Curious because he was top five in points with only a couple races left, why would he "quit"? 9. nascar_vd / racing-reference.info posted: 04.04.2016 - 10:54 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Note: Benny Parsons left the race to preserve his engine that threatened to break (loss of power and a failed cylinder intermittently). 10.

He would run the next two races fur Ulrich as well, finishing 10th and 13th. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
