19-year-old Parker Eatmon joins Niece Motorsports in 2026 to drive the No. 42 Chevrolet Silverado RST in select NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series events.

Eatmon calls Wilson, North Carolina, home, where he grew up as a second-generation driver. His father, Blake, competed in Late Models at Southern National Motorsports Park and Orange County Speedway, which fueled his passion for the sport.

At age nine, Eatmon began his career racing in Bandoleros cars at both the Charlotte Motor Speedway and Echo Park Speedway quarter-mile tracks as well as the now-defunct Concord Speedway. From 2015 to 2019, he captured a handful of wins as a young racer in the class at the Summer Shootout.

After achieving success in Bandoleros, Eatmon moved up into the U.S. Legends Cars Young Lions division, where he quickly adapted and began to win regularly on tracks throughout the southeast. In 2021, Eatmon was crowned as the national champion after scoring over 20 feature wins that year alone.

For the next year in 2022, Eatmon raced primarily in the U.S. Legends Pro division and won the Florida state championship. He also made his first Late Model Stock starts that year, eventually dubbed as the South Boston Speedway Rookie of the Year.

In order to focus on his education, Eatmon took a brief hiatus from racing in 2023 and didn’t return to the seat until he graduated high school midway through the 2024 season. He later enrolled in Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, where he is currently pursuing his Construction Management degree.

When he returned to racing, Eatmon immediately picked up where he left off by winning his first Late Model race back at Tri-County. At the end of the season, Eatmon won his first crown jewel Late Model race, the Thanksgiving Classic 250, at his home track of Southern National Motorsports Park.

In 2025, Eatmon competed full-time in the zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Series, where he picked up two top-fives and six top-10 finishes. Eatmon ended the season sitting 12th in the points standings in his first year with the tour, and also finished second in the Virginia Late Model Triple Crown points.

As he gains Truck Series experience in 2026, Eatmon will continue to race in the CARS Tour to chase after race wins. He is eager to learn as much as possible in his first NCTS starts with Niece Motorsports.

Residing in Mooresville, North Carolina, Eatmon enjoys spending time away from the track by fishing and golfing.
