Attleboro, Massachusetts (February 5, 2019) \u2014<\/strong> One of the rising stars of Legend Car racing in the Northeast has added his name to the list of contenders for the inaugural season of the Bullring Bash Quarter Mile Challenge. Westboro, MA\u2019s Reagan Parent has filed his entry and plans to compete in the trio of all-star events that are expected to feature many other top talents of Legend Car competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Parent, the son of former Thompson Speedway Late Model Champion and American-Canadian Tour winner Ray Parent, was a top contender in Seekonk Speedway\u2019s Fast Friday INEX Legends series this past season. The young standout finished fifth in Seekonk Legend Car points in 2018 with seven top-5 finishes. As it turned out, the Bullring Bash schedule aligned perfectly with his overall plans for the 2019 season.

\u201cThis year, I didn\u2019t plan on running any full-time series or anything like that. We just felt like traveling around to different tracks and trying different things,\u201d Parent said. \u201cThese events turned out to be the perfect thing for that. It\u2019s three races, and it goes to two different tracks \u2013 both of which my dad used to race on with the American-Canadian Tour, which is kind of cool. I figured I would want to try and run different tracks like that.\u201d
\u00a0
The Bullring Bash events will be contested at North Woodstock, NH\u2019s White Mountain Motorsports Park and Barre, VT\u2019s Thunder Road Speedbowl, neither of which Parent has previously raced at. However, both tracks are \u00bc-mile banked ovals like Seekonk, which will hopefully help with learning the speedways in time for qualifying.

\u201cThey\u2019re kind of the same, but they\u2019re also different,\u201d Parent said. \u201cWhen you go to every track, there are different braking points and whatnot. But they\u2019re both small, banked tracks. Seekonk\u2019s not as banked as Thunder Road or White Mountain, but they\u2019re kind of similar, and they\u2019re going to be pretty good racy tracks. Everyone\u2019s going to be pretty fast, and it\u2019ll be good competition.\u201d
\u00a0
Despite his recent success at Seekonk, Parent is keeping his goals realistic as he enters the Bullring Bash, knowing he will be going against some tough competitors. Racers such as U.S. Legend Car Semi-Pro National Champion Noah Korner and multi-track winner Kevin Nowak have already officially entered all three events. Many other teams known to Legend Car fans have expressed interest in the three $1,500-to-win events.
\u00a0
\u201cThere\u2019s going to be some big names and some heavy hitters there, for sure,\u201d Parent remarked. \u201cThe Korner\u2019s are going, I know Nowak\u2019s coming from New York, and hopefully some people from further South are going to come up. As long as we\u2019re in the show, hopefully we can run top-10 or top-5. A win would be great, but as long as we\u2019re in, we\u2019re good. It\u2019s a long way to travel not to even make it with how many cars it looks like we\u2019re going to be getting. We\u2019re shooting to try and get a top-10 \u2013 that would be perfect.\u201d
