Born in Rhinelander WIS, Parker has always loved competition and speed. Already he has accomplished incredible feats in the world of motorsports.  At the age of 7 he began racing, at the age of 12 he began racing with adults on both dirt and asphalt tracks, competing and winning.  In 2012, at the age of nine years old, Retzlaff competed in the Wisconsin Junior Sprints, where he won the mid-season championship.  He competed in the Wisconsin Bandolero Series in 2013, finishing 3rd in points, and winning the championship a year later.  He would rank 2nd in state points from 2015 to 2016.  He ran full-time in the ARCA Midwest Tour in 2017, where he ranked 14th in points and ranking 2nd in the Midwest Truck Series asphalt trucks.  He was also the Rookie of the Year.  And for 2018, he finished sixth in the overall standings of the Midwest Truck Series.  Retzlaff would sign with Visconti Motorsports for two races in the 2019 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (now ARCA Menards Series East), driving the #74.  He would finish 10th at Memphis International Raceway, for his first-ever top 10, and would finish 5th at Gateway Motorsports Park, scoring his first-ever top 5. Retzlaff made his 2019 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West debut, running the race's paired event with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, at 

Gateway Motorsports Park.  He finished in 5th. In 2020, Retzlaff would sign with Cook-Finley Racing full-time, driving in the #42.  He earned 5 top 10s, and one top 20, finishing 4th in the standings.  He would return to Cook-Finley Racing in 2021 but only ran for a partial schedule.  He would finish 4th at the Southern National Motorsports Park, making it his best career ARCA Menards Series East finish.  Retzlaff made his ARCA Menards Series debut in 2020 for CFR, driving in paired events with the East series.  His best finish of the season was 8th at Toledo Speedway.  He returned in 2021, driving in the paired East series race at the Milwaukee Mile, where he finished 11th.  In December of 2021, Retzlaff would sign with RSS Racing for a part-time effort in the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the #38.  At the 2022 United Rentals 200, his first start, Retzlaff would qualify an impressive 6th.  He quickly

fell back after the first restart.  A fuel pump issue would end Retzlaff's race on lap 158, finishing 36th.  He would score his best career finish at the 2022 ToyotaCare 250, after starting and finishing the race in 10th.  He made another good run at Martinsville in his next start.  He started 20th and finished 12th. It was yet another good run for the up and coming driver, that not many folks had ever heard of.  He was 17th at Dover and once again finished 12th when the circuit visited Nashville.  He ran four more 

races in 2022, this time for owner Chris Our.  This equipment usually isn’t as strong as the Rod Sieg cars he had been driving, and the results dropped off a bit.  In the four races for Our; he finished 21st three times, and had a 16th place run at Homestead.  On January 4, 2023, Jordan Anderson Racing announced that Retzlaff will drive their #31 car full-time for the 2023 season.  In the season-opener race at Daytona, Retzlaff earned a career-best 4th

place finish.  As Retzlaff got used to running the full Xfinity series; he had respectable runs, with most inside the top 20.  He finished eleventh at Martinsville and followed that with a seventh at Talladega.  Two races later he improved one spot to finish sixth at Charlotte.  He proved to be a good driver that made clean runs and completed all the laps in most races.  For the season he had the lone top five finish; and added seven top tens.  He had 15 top 15 runs in his 33 starts.  A nice season for a Rookie in the tough and competitive Xfinity series.  He ended up 16th in the season 

points.  In September 2022, Parker made his first NASCAR Truck Series start; coming at Talladega.  He would start 29th, but run a clean race and bring home his #20, Randy Young owned Chevy in 16th.  He is signed to be back with Jordan Anderson Racing in 2024, piloting the #31 car.  He will again be team mates with Jeb Burton.  Some info from Wikipedia.
