Parker Kligerman No. 7 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra Martinsville Speedway Advance

One in the Win Column: On the heels of his first career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory at Talladega Superspeedway two weeks ago, Parker Kligerman travels to Martinsville Speedway this Saturday with his No. 7 Red Horse Racing Toyota team for the Kroger 200. Entering the Virginia short track as the most recent series winner, Kligerman will have a little extra momentum on his side.

“I’ve always considered myself to be 100% focused no matter what, but anytime you can go out there and win and walk into the race track the next week as the most recent winner, it always gives you a little more pep in your step and a little more confidence. I think going in there with that and the confidence I have in these Toyota Tundras, I think there’s no reason we can’t go there and run up front, challenge for the victory and gain points on our championship rivals,” Kligerman explained.

Kligerman’s most recent appearance at Martinsville Speedway earlier this season produced his best finish at the track to date, as he was scored in 11th place when he crossed the finish line. Though his finishes don’t show for it, Kligerman reports he is happy with his previous performances and is optimistic about this weekend’s events.

I’m looking forward to Martinsville; I’ve always had a great time there even though I haven’t had the finishes to show for it. I’ve always had the speed and ran well there, so with the success I’ve had at Red Horse and these Toyota Tundras, I’m sure we can improve on that this weekend.”
