TODD PARROTT
NO. 9 CREW CHIEF

A native of Charlotte, N.C., Parrott brings with him over 15 years of experience as a crew chief in NASCAR. Parrott's first foray into the crew chief position was working for Ernie Irvan in 1995 at Yates Racing.

It was also at Yates Racing that Parrott first hooked up with Elliott Sadler. Serving as his crew chief beginning mid season 2003 through late 2005, the duo paired up to earn two victories—one each at Texas Motor Speedway and California Speedway in 2004 en route to Sadler’s most successful season to date.

Todd Parrott joined the Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) family in July 2010 after spending the first half of the season as a member of Roush Fenway Racing. Parrott was tapped to lead the No. 19 team in July and notched a Top-10 result at Michigan International Speedway. The team also scored a pole winning effort late in the season under Parrott’s direction.

In 2011, Parrott remained at Richard Petty Motorsports and served as crew chief for the No. 9 Stanley Ford Fusion and driver Marcos Ambrose. With Ambrose behind the wheel, the Parrott led team added a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win to their list of accomplishments with a victory at Watkins Glen International in August. Overall the Parrott and Ambrose duo ended the 2011 season in 19th position in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings and scored five Top-Five, 12 Top-10 and 15 Top-15 finishes.

In all, Parrott has amassed 30 wins in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR’s highest level of racing. In addition, the 46-year-old was crew chief for driver Dale Jarrett when the No. 88 Yates Racing team claimed the 1999 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.

Parrott is the son of former Richard Petty crew chief Buddy Parrott.

Outside of racing, Parrott enjoys relaxing on the lake near his Mooresville, N.C. home and spending time with his kids, Tyler and Chandler.
