Parker Chase adds two more races with Sam Hunt Racing to compete in back-to-back events in the No. 24 Ontivity GR Supra at the Chicago Street Race and Atlanta Motor Speedway.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 30, 2023) –
Parker Chase is among the few NASCAR drivers with street course racing experience.
Chase is a multi-time podium finisher at street circuits throughout his sports car career. He’s competed at the street circuits in St. Petersburg, FL., Detroit, MI., and Long Beach, CA.
Earlier this season, Parker Chase solidified a career-best NXS finish (16th) in his NXS Superspeedway debut at Daytona International Speedway.
Chase, a Pirelli World Challenge GT SprintX Pro/Am Champion, is a sports car racer turned stock car driver, and he looks to bring his road-course expertise over to NASCAR’s first-ever street race on the streets of the Windy City in downtown Chicago, Illinois.
The Loop 121 at the Chicago Street Race will mark Chase’s sixth career NXS start.
“I’m excited to be back behind the wheel with the Sam Hunt Racing team for the next two races. I’m really looking forward to competing in NASCAR first-ever street race in Chicago and applying my street course skills there. It’s going to be a wild race, but I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do to get our No. 24 GR Supra to the front.”
– Parker Chase, Driver of the No. 24 Ontivity Toyota GR Supra
