Parker Retzlaff is set to embark on a brand-new journey in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series for the 2026 campaign, signing a deal with Viking Motorsports to pilot the organization’s No. 99 Chevrolet.
The native of Rhinelander, Wisconsin is set to join the second-year organization for next season, after spending 2025 piloting the No. 4 Chevrolet for Alpha Prime Racing — a seat he announced his departure from earlier this week (Tuesday).
Not only has Viking Motorsports snagged Retzlaff from the clutches of free agency, but the organization has also hired a playoff-caliber crew chief in Danny Efland, who moves over from AM Racing to serve as the shot-caller for the No. 99 Chevrolet. Veteran crew chief Pat Tryson will be transitioning into a brand-new role within Viking Motorsports, overseeing the organization’s Mooresville, North Carolina-based shop operations.
Don Sackett, the owner of Viking Motorsports, is excited about the organization’s acquisitions for the 2026 campaign, and says that this is the next step in the journey of the Viking organization.
