NASCAR Photograph. Who is the driver.?

I took this photo at Atlanta International Raceway during the practice for the spring race in 1987. I thought it was Benny Parsons driving the #55 Crown Oldsmobile, but now I'm not sure.

I hate it when I get something like that wrong, and it was a long time ago. Thanx in advance!

Thanx abunch, Dave. Looks like you da man. I messed up, though, It was '88 not '87. Further research shows that Phill was still in the car in '88. Once I found the '88 results page on the NASCAR site, I figured out another question I had about the #25 car in one of my other pics.

I swear, I thought that Benny drove that car at one time or another. . . . .

I'm 97% sure it was Phil Parsons....Benny's brother.

It was definitely a Parson, I just don't know if it was Benny, or Phil.

I beleive Phil Parsons run that car in and around 87.
