September 13, 2010
Molino’s Jarrett Parker won two kart racing Mississippi Maxxis State Titles this past weekend in Meridan.
Parker went into the weekend races with one championship locked-up in the Jr Gold FH division. He raced against 21 other junior racers throughout the series to earn the points championship for 2010. Parker’s worst finish for the year in Jr Gold FH was a second place until this weekend, when he qualified seventh and finished fourth in the race.
In the Jr Gold Animal division Parker raced against 19 other junior racers throughout the series to earn another points championship for 2010. The points were tight between the top four drivers, and Parker needed a strong finish. He complied by setting the pole and winning the last race of the MS Maxxis State Series.
Next stop for the Parker race team is Alabama where Parker is racing as an adult and currently leading the 2010 points in two classes.
Parker is a sophomore at Northview High School and is the son of Scott and Tammy Parker of Molino.
