Well respected promoter and contributing member to the 2002 Hall of Fame Class B.J. Parker passed away April 4th. A pioneer in promoting auto racing, Mr. Parker began by operating the Dixie Speedway in Midfield Alabama back in 1967. He would organize his ever popular Southern All-Stars Late Model group in 1983 and would continue until selling the sanction in 2004. Thru the years about every top DLM driver in the country has competed with SAS, which was a true testament to its founder. B.J. Parker was 78 years old and will be missed by many. The NDLMHoF sends its condolences to his family, surviving wife and daughter.
