Car #: #659
Driver (s) : Parker Bohn

Comments: I didn't get to Wall Stadium too often when I was a kid, but when I did, Parker often won.  The Tom Skinner owned #659 was easy to notice on the track with it's clean appearance, unique sound and ease at which Parker seemed to glide around the speedway.  Parker recently said that the car was fast, but it handled really, really well and that in order to be fast you had to have a good handleing racecar.   Seem to remember him telling me that they used springs off a 62 Chevy truck to help find the handle on the #659....  Parker can now be found working hard in the pits at Wall Stadium selling tires each Saturday night. 

If you ever get a chance to say hello to Parker, you'll find out why he was and still is the favorite of many!

04/28/04 Todd Lewis Parker, Eddie and now the young Danny ,the Bohn name has been around NJ and Northeast racing for years. and lets not forget Parker Jr. the well known PBA (Professional Bowlers Association) bowler who is occasionally seen on ESPN's family of networks.
04/28/04 3-Wide Look for Mike Bohn in the Reid Sod Farm #54 to have a strong run for the Rookie Championship in 2004 at New Egypt.  He already has a feature win and has been strong in each of the 3 events so far
