Here we go again. Every year around this time, the Camping World Truck Series heads off into Daytona for the season opener, puts on a great race and stops dead in its tracks for several weeks.

I can’t believe how fast the offseason went by. I thought it wouldn’t be that quick but it really was. After Homestead, it was the first time since we moved to the United States that we didn’t go to Brazil right away. We applied for our green cards and you can’t travel until you receive the card. Well, you can travel but you have to get a visa and it takes a really long time. So we planned to be here in the U.S. for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

From the moment Parker Kligerman joined Red Horse Racing, it was clear from their chemistry he would head to victory lane before the season was up.

_From Beth: This piece was my first, full-length feature based on an extended interview with a driver (instead of just a straight-up Q & A).
