Vic Parsons (born November 29, 1939) is a retired Canadian NASCAR driver from Willowdale, Ontario (a suburb of Toronto).[1] He competed in nineteen Winston Cup Series events in his career with seven top-tens.[1]

He is not related to the legendary driver Benny Parsons.

Cup career

[edit]

Parsons made his debut in 1972, making the show at North Wilkesboro Speedway with a 19th place qualifying effort.[1] Parsons then survived the tough short track and ended up with a top-10 in his first career race-9th.[1]

Parsons stepped it up to eighteen races in 1973, when he finished 30th in the points standings.[1] Driving for car owner, Bill Seifer, Parsons recorded an unprecedented six top-tens.[1] That included a career best 7th place in the July race at Daytona.[1] The other top-tens were a trio of ninths and a duo of tenths.[1] However, the news was not all good for Parsons.[1] Even with six top-tens, Parsons' team struggled to finish races.[1] In fact, in eighteen starts, Parsons' team only finished seven of them.[1]
