News and notes: “At Texas you have to favor turns one and two,” says Parker Kligerman. “That’s where you make or lose the most time. Because it’s so flat, it is hard to get the car to turn. And then from that point you go to turns 3 and 4 and you have to just hang on. I actually mentally tell myself to prepare that the car will wiggle. Let it move around. Let it have room to dance because it’s going to do that all day, every single lap. You’re just going to have to be comfortable being uncomfortable. And that is just the way this place is. But hey that’s why we’re race car drivers…”
The team has made the Playoffs in only their third season with 7 top 5 finishes and 14 top 10 finishes this year.
Parker will be won WLS-AM Chicago with Steve Cochran Thursday at 8:30a central.
