A Family Program Built to Compete
There are moments in racing where you can feel the shift before the first green flag ever drops — a bigger goal, a stronger push, and a new level of commitment. Today, Team Parker Racing is proud to make that official as we step into the next chapter of our program under the Pro Roofing banner.
This isn’t a “new logo, same plan” kind of move. This is a family-built team leveling up with intention. We’ve spent years building a foundation the right way: long nights, long hauls, tough weekends, and the kind of lessons you only earn through the dirt. Now we’re taking that foundation to the biggest stage in the sport — with a clear mission to compete, grow, and represent our partners at the highest level.
Built From the Ground Up: The Amateur Program Started It All
Parker Racing began as a family effort centered around our amateur team — with the kids racing, learning, and building confidence one weekend at a time. Along the way, our paddock grew into something bigger than we ever expected. We supported and helped develop riders, opened our space to other families, shared equipment and knowledge, and watched the community around us strengthen.
That environment sparked the vision for what comes next. The more we built our amateur program, the clearer the path became: create a pro effort that’s still rooted in family, but structured to compete nationally and grow season after season. The pro team isn’t separate from where we started — it’s the result of what we built and what our community helped fuel.
The Pro Program: Leadership, Experience, and a Clear Direction
As we expand into national competition with the American Flattrack series, we’re doing it the right way — by building around experience, professionalism, and real trackside leadership. We’re proud to announce that veteran racer Chad Cose will be leading the charge as the cornerstone of our pro program.
Cose brings something you can’t teach overnight: years of American Flat Track experience, the mindset of a competitor, and the ability to help build a program — not just ride a bike. He understands what it takes to prepare for a full season, to adapt quickly when conditions change, and to perform when the pressure is real. Beyond the racing, Chad is a leader in the paddock, and his experience will play a major role in shaping the direction and standards of Parker Racing as we grow.
Anchoring the Effort: Ashley Kruppenbacker Joins as Team Mechanic
A professional team is only as strong as the people behind the scenes, and we’re excited to welcome Ashley Kruppenbacker as our team mechanic. Ashley brings precision, consistency, and the kind of calm problem-solving that wins weekends. Racing doesn’t care how good the plan was on paper — it tests everything. When you’re traveling, turning laps, and operating under time pressure, the smallest detail becomes the biggest difference.
Ashley’s role isn’t just wrenching — it’s building reliability into the program. From preparation in the shop to execution at the track, she’s a key part of how we’ll keep improving round after round and creating the kind of stable, professional operation that can compete nationwide.
Where We’re Headed: A Focused, National Build
This pro effort is about more than showing up — it’s about building something that lasts. Our focus moving forward is centered on developing our main program, continuing to refine our equipment, and taking a serious step forward in preparation and performance. With testing, dialing in our race package, and committing to the details that matter, we’re building a team that’s ready to grow in the right direction.
And through it all, we’re keeping the heart of Parker Racing exactly where it belongs: with family. This program was founded on family values, built through community, and strengthened by the people who believed in it early. That doesn’t change as we step into a bigger spotlight — it becomes the reason we belong there.
Gratitude and What’s Next
To our sponsors, partners, supporters, and everyone who has congratulated us and stood behind this announcement — thank you. Your support is not taken lightly, and we’re proud to represent you as we take this program to the next level. To the riders and families who’ve been part of our paddock, and to everyone who helped shape the idea that became this pro team — this journey is yours too.
We’re excited, we’re locked in, and we’re ready to go to work.
Stay tuned for season updates, behind-the-scenes content, and more announcements as Parker Racing takes this program nationwide.
Let’s go racing!
