Westport’s Parker Kligerman, racing his Toyota Tundra, today won his first NASCAR Camping World Series Truck race at Talladega, Ala.
It was the first win for Kligerman, 22, in 44 career Truck Series races.
He is now fourth in points in the Camping World Truck series. To date he has five second place finishes in the series. He drives for Roger Penske and Red Horse Racing.
A Westport native, Kligerman graduated from Staples High School and started racing in the Norwalk Karting Association races at age 13. He then moved into sports cars at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut.
A big congratulations to Parker! I knew this would happen. He’s an amazing driver and I hope he gets a cup ride real soon.
A great driver who changed teams in the middle of the season. He is one to watch in a very competitive series. There have been 8 different winners this season.
