Parker Kligerman has announced that he will not be able to participate in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race scheduled for this Thursday at the Bristol Motor Speedway, due to a persistent illness. Additionally, the athlete was unable to take part in the broadcast of The CW during the past weekend at Gateway.
Kligerman, who will drive the No. 75 for Henderson Motorsports, a rapidly growing team with limited entries, was preparing to make his 130th appearance in the truck category and his fifth of 2026. With three wins in his history, he was known for winning the inaugural race of the 2025 season at Daytona, although he was later disqualified for failing technical inspections.
The driver has issued a statement saying, ‘A quick update: I will not be racing tonight in Bristol. As some of you know, I have been very sick last week, and the recovery has taken longer than I expected. I am feeling better every day, but I am not quite ready to race, so I have decided to sit this competition out. I will explain more details in the podcast The Money Lap.
Nick Sanchez will take over the driving of the No. 75, a decision that Kligerman welcomes, emphasizing that he fully trusts Sanchez’s abilities. At 25 years old, Sanchez competed full-time in the NASCAR Truck Series in 2023 and 2024, achieving two wins and finishing fifth in the overall standings in one of the two seasons. This will mark his 49th appearance in the truck category, with three previous races at the Bristol circuit, where his best position has been a fifth place.
