Hang with 'em Parker Kligerman, hang with 'em

I feel bad for Parker Kligerman. I remember in 2011, he signed with Brad Keselowski Racing to compete in the NASCAR Truck Series. After impressing Keselowski, he was named the full-time driver for 2012. I thought he could eventually drive for Penske Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series. Despite being Top 10 in points in 2012, Penske favored another young driver. Ryan Blaney possessed a more raw talent, sponsors liked him more, a NASCAR last name. Toward the end of the season, Kligerman lost his ride, still in the Top 10. Fortunately, Red Horse Racing gave him a ride for the rest of the season. He even won a race. With another season in the Trucks, he might have become an attractive young driver for the powerful teams. Instead, he signed with Kyle Busch Motorsports in the #77 Toyota in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. With Kyle Busch as his boss, I thought Kligerman would learn a lot. Yet Busch cared more about winning races himself than helping his young teammates finish well. Kligerman finished in the Top 10 in points & impressed in a few Cup Series races driving for Swan Racing. While Kyle Busch Motorsports closed its Xfinity Series program, Swan Racing announced Kligerman would be the driver of #30 Toyota in 2014. Finally, a passionate owner took a chance on Kligerman. After a horrendous start to the 2014 season, combined with downright bad luck, & a lack of sponsorship, Swan Racing folded. Parker Kligerman, out of a ride yet again.
In this era of NASCAR where sponsorship dominates & Cup drivers ruining the Nationwide Series, at age 23, Parker Kligerman appears out of luck. I think Kligerman should call Front Row Motorsports to race #35 Ford with Swan Energy as a sponsor. Alternatively, he should find out whether Swan Energy would sponsor him in the Truck Series. Technically, he is still under contract with Swan Racing. Instead, Kligerman is out of a ride while Derrike Cope & other older drivers have rides. In any other sport, if you are talented, you have a job. Not in NASCAR, where sponsors dictate who has a job. Sadly, Parker Kligerman lacks both. Hang with ‘em Parker Kligerman, hang with ‘em
