== Career ==
Parsley's NASCAR debut came in 1958, when he finished 30th in points.〔Fielden, Gregory L. (2005) "NASCAR Chronicle"〕 and had four top ten finishes〔Fielden, Gregory L. (Dec, 1987) ''Forty Years of Stock Car Racing: The Beginning''〕 He debuted at Old Dominion Speedway in Manassas, Virginia where he finished 15th. He would struggle in his next three starts but hit his stride late in the year, earning three straight top-tens and four top-tens overall: 6th place at Richmond International Speedway and at Rochester, 8th place at New Bradford, and 9th place at Reading Fairgrounds.〔("Petty, Baker. Johnson Top Field in NASCAR Race" ). ''Reading Eagle'', 15 June 1958.〕 Parsley's final finish came in 1959, when he competed at Reading again where he finished eighth. Parsley also competed in a NASCAR Convertible Division event at Marlboro Motor Raceway in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and two USAC/ARCO Stock Car races at Willimas Grove Speedway in Mechanicsville, Pennsylvania.
Parsley's final attempt at competition was on 13 February 1960 when he entered a 1957 Chevy in the 500 mile Modified Sportsman Event at Daytona International Speedway (now notorious for having the largest crash in NASCAR history).〔Fielden, Gregory L. (Oct, 1988) Forty Years of Stock Car Racing: The Super Speedway Book, 1959-1964〕 While nearing the conclusion of lap 1, Dick Foley's car slid sideways through the final turn. He was able to straighten out and continue the race but some thirty plus cars stacked up behind him. Over 20 cars were eliminated, including Parsley.
