Driver – Parker Kligerman
Parker Kligerman did not arrive at the top levels of NASCAR on a typical path. Unlike many drivers who hail from a family steeped in racing tradition, Kligerman had no family ties to racing. What he had was a dream to pursue a career in motorsports and the determination to reach its highest levels.
From his humble beginnings at the local kart tracks of Connecticut, Kligerman has achieved remarkable results, and has become one of racing’s most promising talents.
Kligerman climbed racing’s development ladder, running in the ARCA Series, where he won nine times in 23 races, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, where he twice won at Talladega, in 2012 and 2017, and the NASCAR Xfinity Series, where he won a pole in his first career start, leading him to earn a spot in the top-tier NASCAR Cup Series.
Coupled with his success on track, Kligerman’s off-track accomplishments show that he’s emphatic about making the most of every opportunity. In addition to writing for the hugely popular Jalopnik.com, maintaining an active social media presence (with more than 70,000 followers on Twitter), hosting his own podcast and providing analysis on NBC Sports Network as a co-host of NASCAR America, Kligerman co-founded a company in 2013, Focus Plus Shot.
