No. 42 Operator Standard Chevrolet Silverado RST
Driver: Parker Eatmon | Crew Chief: Landon Polinski
- Eatmon Returns: CARS Tour Late Model Stock Series regular Parker Eatmon returns to the No. 42 Chevrolet to make his third NCTS start of the season at IRP. Eatmon has done a solid job in the LMSC this year, currently sitting inside the top-10 in CARS Tour points. He picked up his career-best NCTS finish in his most recent start at Dover Motor Speedway, finishing 21st.
- Eatmon’s IRP Stats:
Parker Eatmon will make his first-career start in any series at IRP on Friday.
- Polinski's IRP Stats:
Landon Polinski will make his first NCTS start as a crew chief at IRP on Friday.
- On the Truck: Eatmon’s No. 42 Chevrolet Silverado RST will race with support from Operator Standard, a lifestyle operating system and business coaching app developed by Andy Frisella.
- Recapping North Wilkesboro: Tyler Reif and the DQS Solutions & Staffing team rallied from the rear of the field to pick up their best finish of the season at North Wilkesboro. Reif qualified in 30th-place, but drove through the field and passed several trucks on each run. As the track changed throughout the 250-lap event, the No. 42 came to life. Reif was on his way to a top-10 finish, but a stopped lapped truck heavily damaged the nose and halted his progress. He settled for a 12th-place finish.
- Owner Points Outlook: Reif’s 12th-place run in North Wilkesboro pushed the No. 42 team up to 25th in the owner point standings. Heading into Indianapolis, the team is three points behind Kaulig Racing’s No. 25 truck in 24th-place, and 13 points ahead of Rackley W.A.R.’s No. 26 Chevrolet in 26th. The team is 147 points below the Chase cutline with three races left in the regular season.
- Quoting Parker: Friday will be your first Truck Series race on a short track, so do you think you’ll feel more comfortable at IRP compared to Rockingham or Dover?
“I definitely feel more comfortable going to IRP just because it’s a short track and that’s what I grew up doing. Now, I’m running the late model almost every weekend on short tracks, so yeah, I feel a little bit more comfortable going there. We had a really good run in the simulator on Monday and everything went smoothly. I’m looking forward to getting to IRP with Operator Standard on our No. 42 Silverado, and really hope to run well for them this weekend.”
