Parker Kligerman

Parker Kligerman (born August 8, 1990) is an American professional stock car racing driver and a pit reporter for NASCAR on NBC.

He was slated to contest the first five races of the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series season with Team 42 with additional appearances possible.

After missing the show at Bristol he was out of the car until returning for the eighth race of the season at Talladega where he crashed on lap 113.

[9] A fringe title contender late in the season, Kligerman was officially eliminated from championship contention after being involved in a crash at Phoenix and finishing in 27th place.

Announcing that he would not be returning to Red Horse Racing or the Camping World Truck Series in 2013, Kligerman signed with Kyle Busch Motorsports to drive their No.

For 2014, Swan Racing announced Kligerman's hiring for the full 2014 season, as part of an expansion to two full-time teams, alongside Cole Whitt.

[14] During a practice session for the 2014 Daytona 500, Kligerman was involved in an accident that saw his car overturned into the catch fencing, but was uninjured.

[20] In July, Kligerman joined Athenian Motorsports for the Truck race at Kentucky, replacing an injured John Wes Townley.

[22] After starting the year with a DNQ at Daytona,[23] Kligerman won at the schedule's second plate track Talladega in October.

[28] On July 9, 2022, in the O'Reilly Auto Parts 150 at Mid-Ohio, Kligerman earned his third victory in the Truck Series, which was also a decisive win against Zane Smith.

48 was levied an L1 penalty after pre-race inspection discovered illegal modifications on the rear spoiler; as a result, the team was docked 20 owner and driver points, and crew chief Patrick Donahue was fined US$25,000.

[35] On October 12, 2024, Kligerman was leading late at the Charlotte Roval when the 42 of Leland Honeyman crashed deep into the tire barrier with 2 to go.

NASCAR didn't throw a caution until seemingly after Kligerman took the white flag, in which him and his team started celebrating their first Xfinity win.

On the final restart, Kligerman then got passed in turn 7 by eventual race winner Sam Mayer and would fall back to 6th place, eliminating him from the playoffs.

On February 14, 2025, Kligerman unofficially won the season opener at Daytona, but later failed post race inspection for the truck being too low.

[36] Kligerman's first foray into the media started in 2013 with Jalopnik[37] contributing articles based on his personal experience in NASCAR and his love for all things cars.

Initially a weekly special that aired on Sirius XM’s NASCAR channel, it soon began a full time podcast where Kligerman would talk with motorsports personalities.

Spanning three seasons, the show made its debut on October 1, 2018, featuring Kligerman alongside fellow co-hosts Sam Smith and Leh Keen.

[40] Kligerman expanded his media presence by hosting #InTheWall for NBC Sports on their YouTube channel, a show aimed at diving deeper into the biggest topics in motorsports each week.

[41] In 2023, Parker founded "The Money Lap," a brand dedicated to covering, discussing, and exploring various facets of motorsports.

Guests have included Dale Earnhardt Jr., James Hinchcliffe, Cole Custer, Will Buxton, and other motorsports industry figures.
