Big Machine Racing team (BMR) announced on Saturday (Oct. 29) that Parker Kligerman will take over as the team’s new full-time driver beginning in 2023.

This announcement comes as the BMR team winds down their second season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Kligerman made one start for the team in 2022, competing in the Sparks 300 at Talladega Superspeedway where he started 9th and ended the day with a 6th place finish.

“Parker Kligerman is coming to Big Machine Racing at the perfect time,” explains BMR team owner, Scott Borchetta. “As our team continues to grow and put up real results, Parker has the experience and talent to take us next level. He has also become a staple in the NASCAR world with fans and industry alike and he will be a great ambassador for Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers and our other brands. Excited for 2023!”

The much-anticipated announcement comes just before the end of the 2022 season with Borchetta unveiling one of the team’s Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers Chevrolets, featuring Kligerman’s name.

Kligerman currently drives Henderson Motorsports’ No. 75 truck part-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, most recently with a win at Mid-Ohio and top-ten finishes at Talladega and Miami. Kligerman has raced in all three of NASCAR’s premier series since the start of his career in 2013 and has amassed 3 wins, 26 top 5 finishes, and 72 top 10 finishes across all three series.

“From getting the call in Mid-Ohio to our first run together at Talladega, Big Machine Racing has felt like somewhere I want to be,” says Kligerman. “I’m thrilled to be joining the championship-caliber team Scott Borchetta has put together and I can’t wait to continue the building process with the folks at Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers. Let’s have some fun and get a lot of checkered flags!”

BMR has not yet announced who will drive the No. 48  Big Machine Spiked Cooler Chevrolet Camaro for the final race of the 2022 season at the Phoenix Raceway on Nov. 6.
