CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF AWESOME For the Average Joe, Toyota Racing Development, U.S.A. (TRD) came on the scene in the 90s as performance accessories or off-road packages for your Toyota. But that was just the proverbial tip of the performance-tuned iceberg. For almost 40 years, the mad genius engineers at TRD have studied and won races across open-wheel and NASCAR, in the desert or on the dirt. At Gaunt Brothers Racing, we are proud to have played our small role in TRD’s legacy.

Unlike many drivers who hail from a family steeped in racing tradition, Kligerman has no familial ties to racing. What he had was a dream to pursue a career in motorsports, and the determination to reach its highest levels. From humble beginnings at local karting tracks, Kligerman has achieved remarkable results and has become one of American motorsports’ most prominent figures. Parker is not only a rising star on the track; since age 23, in addition to his racing career, he has risen to become a fixture of NBC motorsports and car related programming: » Analyst on daily NBC NASCAR show “NASCAR America” » Analyst on post-race show “Victory Lap” » On-track analyst and driver pit reporter for NBC NASCAR weekends » Host of the entertainment car show » “Proving Grounds” on NBCSN Toyota trademarks used with permission..
