Parker Retzlaff’s stock is quickly rising after a very impressive start to the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Series season. Retzlaff began the year with two strong runs on superspeedway tracks and it has carried into the spring. In the last four races, the driver of the No. 99 car has a worst finish of 14th place with Viking Motorsports.
Retzlaff has been running even better than his finishes suggest, compiling 27 stage points to start the 2026 campaign. Considering the performance at Viking Motorsports during the 2025 NASCAR season, Retzlaff sitting in ninth place in the point standings should be considered a massive success.
