Bandit Industries Sponsors Team 42 at NASCAR Nationwide Kansas Lottery 300

Since the 1980s, Bandit Industries has been known for making hard working wood chippers for successful contractors. Now they’re attaching their brand name to another winner, NASCAR sensation Parker Kligerman in his bid for a victory at the Nationwide Series Kansas Lottery 300, roaring into Kansas City this Saturday.

“Having the opportunity to be a part of such an exciting race team is simply awesome,” said Travis Lint, large equipment sales manager for Bandit Industries. “Parker is an amazing driver with a very bright future in this sport. He’s a man of integrity who works hard, just like the Bandit family. We couldn’t have picked a better driver and team to support as a major sponsor.”

Bandit Industries will once again team with the Pelletier Brothers to sponsor Kligerman and the Bandit Industries/Pelletier Brothers Team 42 Dodge Charger.

“The Pelletier Brothers were with us for Bristol,” said Lint. “They’re one of the reasons we stepped into the NASCAR arena. They’re good friends, and having them as a partner just makes this whole thing even better. From the forest to the track and back, Bandit will continue building relationships through sponsorships such as this”.

With nine ARCA victories and a 2009 ARCA Rookie of the Year title to his credit, Kligerman is no stranger to victory lane. He’s also no stranger to Kansas Speedway, having made his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut at this very race last year. In that historical first effort, Kligerman started from the pole as the number one qualifier, only the 10th driver in the history of the series to claim such a feat. And at age 19, he’s also the youngest driver to ever claim the pole at Kansas.

Since then, he has continued to impress fans and critics despite a part-time schedule in the Nationwide Series, including a ninth place finish in his first race with Bandit Industries last month. A week later, Kligerman finished eighth in Montreal.

The NASCAR Nationwide Series Kansas Lottery 300 will take place this Saturday, Oct. 2, at Kansas Speedway. Racing starts at 3:30 p.m. ET, with live coverage on ESPN2 beginning at 3p.m. The race will also be broadcast on Sirius/XM radio.

 “I can’t wait to see Parker take the Bandit Industries/Pelletier Brothers Team 42 Dodge Charger to victory lane,” said Lint. “Whether or not that happens this weekend, I know the Bandit family, our customers, and our friends will be rooting for our team, all the way to the end.”
