Parker Kligerman, a seasoned NASCAR driver, has revealed that 2024 will mark his final season competing full-time.
After debuting in 2009, Kligerman, 34, has spent the current season racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for Big Machine Racing. With a career that boasts three victories in the NASCAR Truck Series, including a recent win in 2022, and 30 starts in the NASCAR Cup Series, Kligerman’s racing journey has been noteworthy.
Reflecting on his decision, Kligerman shared his thoughts on The Money Lap podcast: “It wasn’t an easy decision, and it certainly didn’t happen overnight. There were months of going back and forth, considering one path and then another.”
He pinpointed a moment after the Portland race in June as a turning point. “I was on a run near San Francisco, standing on a mountain overlooking the water. It was then that I realized, ‘I think I’m good. I think I’m ready to finish this year and see what comes next.'”
Throughout his career, Kligerman always aspired to secure a full-time seat in the NASCAR Cup Series. However, after recognizing that opportunities in the Cup Series weren’t materializing, he started to reevaluate his future in racing. “I feel like I’ve been down this road before,” Kligerman remarked. “I may not have achieved the level of success I had hoped for, but my focus now is on winning races and contending for the championship with Big Machine Racing.”
Currently sitting 11th in the NASCAR Xfinity Series standings with four top-five finishes, Kligerman is determined to make his final full-time season count. As 2024 approaches, fans can expect him to give his all in his remaining races, leaving a lasting legacy in the sport.
