We likely won’t see a celebration quite as big and boisterous as Parker Kligerman this weekend, and that is just fine. Kligerman let the NASCAR faithful know how much he appreciates them after his huge win at Daytona.

Parker Kligerman retired from full-time NASCAR racing at the end of last season. Coming back this year part-time with Henderson Motorsports, Kligerman already has a win to his name in 2025.

After all of the heartbreak and close calls in the Xfinity Series, a return to the Truck Series cures Parker’s ailments. He was pumped to get the big win in front of the Daytona crowd.

“Daytona Regan, come on! Let’s go! Biggest win of my entire life. … I’m out of breath I can’t believe it, I was just making moves and just like, I don’t even, I just – every move I made felt like it worked,” Kligerman said, excitedly. “And for some reason it really did and these guys built an amazing truck. I can’t believe we’re here.”

Nothing can kill Parker Kligerman’s vibe right now. He kept going on about Daytona and what the fans mean.

“This has been so close the last couple of years, this means so much. To win the biggest place, we were just doing all the TV stuff today, talking about how much this place means. And all you fans! Here at Daytona! Thank you so much! God, I love this place! I love racing, I love winning. I’m ready for the next chapter in my life but this means a lot.”

Henderson Motorsports and Parker Kligerman are a duo you can root for. A small team and a driver looking for a chance. Tonight’s Truck Series race was actually fantastic. Compared to last year, it looked 10 times better.

There weren’t that many multi-truck wrecks on the night. One with less than 20 laps to go collected a handful of trucks. However, it was the last lap that saw the largest wreck. That incident did end the race under caution and Kligerman happened to be the truck out front.

A massive win for Kligerman and this Henderson organization. Daytona is the biggest stage. While Kligerman isn’t full-time anymore, he can still get the job done.

The last two years in the Xfinity Series were brutal. A lot of great moments and races. Then there were the close calls. None of them were as close as last year’s race at the Roval. A late caution just before the finish line led Kligerman to come up short once again.

Tonight in Daytona, the caution fell at the right time. Finally. A strong performance and a fun race finished off with a great driver in Victory Lane.
