Buddy Parrott[edit]
- ... that even though Buddy Parrott fractured his ribs after tripping over cords in his pit box, he was able to celebrate Mark Martin's victory in the 1998 California 500?
Created by ZappaOMati (talk). Self nominated at 14:00, 26 June 2013 (UTC).
- I accidentally saved before writing in the alt hooks, which are:
- ALT1: ... that Buddy Parrott served as crew chief for Richard Petty's 200th win in the 1984 Firecracker 400?
- ALT2: ... that Buddy Parrott served as crew chief for eventual race winner Derrike Cope in the 1990 Daytona 500?
- ALT3: ... that with Buddy Parrott as crew chief, Darrell Waltrip won three Winston Cup championships?

Length, date, and compliance with policies are in order. However, paragraph 1 "Parrott's career began in 1968..." is lacking any references. Also, that Parrott's kids are in the business is unsourced. Fix those two minor issues and we should be good to go. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:34, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, the ref for his career's beginning was already in the page (this), but a later edit separated the paragraph regarding the start of his career with another, the latter providing the ref. I don't think we need to cite Todd being in the business, since it can be obvious if one were to extensively follow Dale Jarrett, but since Brad doesn't have a page, I provided the IRN ref.
