Parrott Named Crew Chief for Mike Wallace

A season year, a new driver for crew chief Brad Parrott, who announced last week that he has been put in charge of the JD Motorsports' No. 01 Chevrolet team of Mike Wallace. Parrott will be replacing team-owner Johnny Davis, who also doubled as a crew chief.

"I feel very good about making this move to JD Motorsports,"
Parrott said according to NASCAR. "This new car is something I have really spent a lot of time on and really done some great research to be ready for when someone came calling.”

"Working with Mike is going to be great. He's a good driver, knows what it takes to get better during practices and races, and will give you 100 percent every time out there. Having a Parrott and Wallace teamed up again is pretty cool, too. I can't thank Johnny and Mike enough for giving me this chance."

The team owner, now freed of having to run the shop and pit box, will have enough room and time to take care of important duties, like running the team as an organization. Parrott, he hopes, will make full use of Wallace's talent.

"This is the type of move I've been wanting to make for awhile," Davis said. "After talking things over with Mike and the team, we all feel bringing someone like Brad on will help us get better on and off the track."

"His experience and past success is something we're hoping to achieve again with him now at JD Motorsports. And, this will make us even more attractive to the potential primary and associate marketing partners we've been talking to - and still seeking - lately."
