Star NASCAR Engineer At Hendrick Motorsports Doesn't Have Arms
The Huffington Post By Ryan Grenoble 07/23/2013 Parker says, "I don't know there's a lot in life ... that I'd say I can't do. Just things I haven't done yet." The fact that Richie Parker can ride a bike doesn't sound impressive -- until you see him do it. Same goes for the car repairs he makes using power tools.
Born Without Arms
Parker was born without arms, a disability he's overcome time and time again, ultimately leading him to his job engineering chassis and body components for Hendrick Motorsports, NASCAR's most winning organization.
"Based on his resume, I knew he could do the things that I needed him to do, it was more a question of how,” Rex Stump, engineering manager at Hendrick, said of Parker in a segment that aired on ESPN Sunday.
