Parker Kligerman holds a Racer Rating of 5,031, placing him in the established professional band. This reflects a driver operating at the sharp end of strong national-level stock car series and occasional top-tier sportscar racing, competing regularly against professionals. His FIA Silver categorisation applies to his sportscar activities and denotes a professional-level driver in endurance racing. Over nine seasons from 2018 to 2026, Kligerman has compiled 154 starts across five series with one win and eight podiums, averaging a finishing position of P16.2.[1]
Kligerman has spent the majority of his racing career in NASCAR's three national series. His primary theatre has been the Xfinity Series, where he started 69 times between 2022 and 2024 without reaching victory but securing six podium finishes among a competitive professional field. In the Truck Series he has made 60 starts since 2018, taking one win and two podiums. His 21 Cup Series starts between 2018 and 2022 produced no podiums, indicating the difficulty of that step. Against his most frequent rivals, a roster of established professionals and national champions, the head-to-head records are mixed; he trails Chandler Smith (2024 Xfinity champion) 47 to 60 across 107 shared races, Austin Hill (2020 Truck Series champion) 41 to 60 across 101 shared races, and John Hunter Nemechek (both 2021 Truck and 2023 Xfinity champion) 28 to 48 across 76 races. He has a winning record against Brandon Jones over 77 encounters. Occasional finishes ahead of elite professionals such as Ryan Blaney and Denny Hamlin (2025 Cup champion) demonstrate his capability at the high end of the professional field, though these remain isolated results rather than patterns. His two-race sportscar entry in IMSA WeatherTech in 2025 with Forte Racing marks a recent venture beyond stock cars.[2]
