Molino’s Kart King Finishes Season With 3 State Titles
December 19, 2010
Molino’s kart racing king Jarrett Parker recently finished his season with three state titles, 16 wins, 12 pole positions and 43 top five finishes out of 55 starts.
At the recent O’Reilly’s Indoor Kart Nationals, Parker had four top 10 finishes — third in FH Heavy, fifth in Jr. Lite, ninth in Junior Animal Heavy and tenth in Junior Pro.
He was involved in one of the many wrecks that occurred during the two-day event. Parker had no where to go and hit the kart of Nich Thrash, flipping Thrash completely over. Thrash walked away with just a minor knee injury. Parker’s teammate, Dee Paschal of Georgia, was involved in a serious wreck in his last race and was hospitalized.
“Thankfully our prayers have been answered and Dee was released from the hospital and is supposed to be resting back at home in Georgia.” Parker said. “The races were with out a doubt some of the roughest driving I have seen.”
Parker offered thanks to several people as he wrapped up the 2010 season.
“A big thank you to my dad. Many thanks to Dustin Dowdy of Dowdy Motorsports who helped wrench on my kart all weekend long. And to David Lynn, thank you for your help in our pits Saturday. I have to thank Mrs. Stacie Campbell for everything she does for our group at this event, Southern Speed. Thank you especially to Dee Paschal and Mark Bowers for all of your support throughout the year. I am very thankful,” he said.
Parker drives a Tod Miller powered 2010 Phantom Seraph and pits with MB Motorsports. Jarrett Parker, a sophomore at Northview High School, is the son of Scott and Tammy Parker of Molino.
