Parsons, the 27-year-old son of former NASCAR Cup Series race winner Phil Parsons, last made a start in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in the 2024 season finale at Phoenix Raceway, an event that he also piloted the No. 45 Alpha Prime Racing Chevrolet in.
Of his 67 career NASCAR Xfinity Series starts, Parsons has made 16 of them with the Alpha Prime Racing team, and his career best finish of eighth, which came at Bristol Motor Speedway in Fall 2022, came behind the wheel of Alpha Prime Racing equipment.
While he hasn’t competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series yet this season, Parsons has made three NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts this year, and had a season’s best finish of 12th at Texas Motor Speedway in May.
In addition to his top-10 finish at Bristol in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2022, Parsons has also recorded three top-10 finishes in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series competition, all of which came during the 2024 campaign.
