Molino Teen Wins Alabama State Kart Racing Title

September 28, 2010

Jarrett Parker of Molino won another kart racing Alabama Maxxis Series State Title this past weekend in Talladega.

Jarrett raced as an adult in the Alabama Maxxis series at Talladega Raceway Park with some of the most experienced senior racers in the southeast.

Parker, a sophomore at Northview High School, raced against 35 other senior drivers throughout the series in Stock Medium at the Alabama Maxxis Series. Going into the last race, Parker was leading the points chase but needed another strong finish to secure that title. Parker qualified in the fifth spot and won the race on his way to another Alabama State Title. He also won the state title in 2009 as a junior racer.

“I thank the Lord for everything. I have had a great year of racing so far. A big thank you to my dad as he has been with me every step of the way,” Parker said. “I also want to thank Dee Paschal, Mark Bowers with MB Motorsports, Todd Miller Racing Engines, and Phantom Racing Chassis.”

Parker was after another state title in Stock Heavy hoping for another win. He was leading the chase going into this weekends race. Parker qualified in second and finished third, narrowly missing the points title. Parker raced against 35 other senior racers throughout the year having all top five finishes, earning second place in Stock Heavy points chase.

Other races Parker competed in this weekend were Stock Lite where he qualified fifth and finished third and the big race for the night was Senior Pro, with Parker qualifying on the pole and winning the big race.

Parker has won a total of three state titles for 2010, two in Mississippi and one in Alabama. Parker has three national events to finish out the 2010 season.
Jarrett Parker is the son of Scott and Tammy Parker of Molino.

“The Lord blessed our karting team in many ways by putting us with the right people and the right circumstances to allow Jarrett to excel to his fullest potential. I am very proud of his hard work and dedication,” Scott Parker said.
