Hank Parker, Jr. watched Carl Edwards score the win at the Nashville Superspeedway in a car he helped practice on Saturday. Parker, a guy who has two Busch Series trophies of his own, says helping Edwards get to victory lane is as close as he wants to get again. I think Ill probably never go back to racing full-time, he says. On top of enjoying time with his wife and kids Parker explains, that hes currently working on a hunting show with his father and brother, Billy, who also tried his shot at Busch Series racing for Rusty Wallace, Inc. just a few years ago. I think its a combination of things. It takes a lot to make it. Im kind of old to be starting over. I just couldnt put it together, the 32-year-old says.(BGNRacing.com)(6-11-2006)
UPDATE: Hank Parker Jr., who has not run full time in NASCAR since 2004, said Friday that this weekend’s stint as a practice/substitute driver could be the final time he steps into a Busch Series car. Parker will practice the Roush Racing car for Carl Edwards today in preparation for the Saturday running of the Meijer 300. With the Craftsman Truck Series running as companion events to the Busch Series the next couple of “double-duty” weekends, Roush Racing will likely have one of its truck drivers stay and practice the Busch car.(SceneDaily.com)(6-16-2006)
