It must have been pre-recorded, he has been in the hospital since the 26th of December.

RIP Benny!

He was a great announcer, but some of us ol'men will remember he was a damn good driver in his day. He'll be in some great company, what a race they are having up there. RIP Benny

RIP Benny ... he was big part of old school NASCAR racing when the sport was a much better show than the present one. He will be misssed as a announcer too.

Holy crap! I didn't even know he was sick, he looked pretty healthy when he was on TV. That sucks!
