ParkerStore Partners with NASCAR Star in Multi-Year Sponsorship
ParkerStore has reunited with driver Kyle Larson, the 2013 Rookie of the Year in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, for a multi-year, multi-series partnership.
Larson will debut his new No. 42 ParkerStore Chevrolet Silverado at the final NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) event of the season, the Ford EcoBoost 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday, November 14. The race will air on FOX Sports 1 at 8:00 p.m. EST, and will also be broadcast on MRN Radio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio, channel 90.
Larson was previously sponsored by ParkerStore throughout much of his amateur career. “I am really excited to be reuniting with ParkerStore,” said Larson. “To be able to team up again with a sponsor from back in my midget racing days is really cool. I think we’ll make a great team. I’m really looking forward to working with them on and off of the racetrack. I feel like I have some unfinished business at Homestead in the Truck Series.”
After earning numerous race wins and accolades in the sprint-car ranks, Larson turned his attention to NASCAR in 2012. His first year in a stock car, Larson took home the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East Championship in 2012. He also made his NCWTS debut that year, earning three top-10 finishes and leading 91 laps in just four starts.
In 2013, Larson competed in the NNS full time, won his first NCWTS race and made his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) debut. This year, Larson races full time in the NSCS for Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates and runs part time in the NNS and NCWTS for Turner Scott Motorsports.
“We’re looking forward to rejoining our partnership with Kyle and his team,” says Brad Fischer, Director of Global Retail Operations at Parker. “Kyle has a bright future in NASCAR and we’re happy to be on board.”
ParkerStore is the primary sponsor of the No. 42 NCWTS Turner Scott Motorsports vehicle driven by Larson at Homestead, and will be on board the No. 42 NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) entry in 2015.
