Tommy
Baldwin Racing has announced the hiring of Todd Parrott as the Crew Chief
for the No. 36 Chevrolet for the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Season.
Parrott,
a well known name within
the industry for over 20 years, making his debut as a Crew Chief in 1995
with Robert Yates Racing. Following in his father Buddy's footstep, who
was inducted into the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame, Parrott
has achieved several accomplishments in NASCAR. Winning a Championship
in 1999 with NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Jarrett, Todd has gone on to
become the third most winning active Crew Chief in the NASCAR Sprint Cup
garage, with 31 wins, including two Daytona 500's and two Brickyard
400's.
"I'm
glad to get back to the sport I love, and I've missed," said Parrott.
"I'm looking forward to working with Tommy, Bono, Michael, and the
driver of the No. 36. I'm hoping to try and build this team into
something bigger and better. I'm humbled. I'm going to continue to do
what I know how to do and just try to make racecars go fast. I'm tickled
to be here."
Team owner Tommy Baldwin also commented, "We at TBR are
excited to take another step and grow our company with Todd Parrott. He
will be a great addition to the team. I think it's important for
everyone in this sport to have a second chance. Todd has earned that
right by handling everything as a professional, by going through the
NASCAR mandated recovery process. He has two Daytona 500 wins, and a
Championship, which has earned him his right in the industry, and we are
proud to have him on board to help take the No. 36 to a new level."
