Molino’s Jarrett Parker Continues Kart Wins
July 14, 2010
Molino’s Jarrett Parker continues his winning ways in the world of kart racing, continuing to lead the points chase in both Alabama and Mississippi.
Parker won the Maxxis Mississippi State Dirt Series at the Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, Miss. Kart drivers from all over the Southeast competed for the first time ever on the quarter mile paperclip-shaped dirt track. In the Gold FH category, Parker qualified third and finished second, missing the win by just a fraction of a second.
In the Gold Animal Division, he qualified eighth and finished first. Parker fought back from a poor starting position. Going to the white flag, Parker made his move and passed the lead kart for the win.
During the Fourth of July weekend, Parker had poor qualifying positions but strong finishes. He said he was hard to find figure out the track and starting toward the back of the pack made it difficult for that much-wanted winning finish.
At the Georgia Karting Complex in Carnsville, Georgia, he qualified 11th and finished fourth in the Junior unrestricted division. In one race, he was involved in a serious crash, but managed to get the kart back together just in time.
Then at the Dawgwood Speedway in Chatsworth, Georgia, Parker moved a division to race in the senior pro classes in “The Summer Maxxis Melt Down”. He qualified poorly at 18 of 29, but finished with a respectable 8th place.
