MECHANICSVILLE, MARYLAND (November
10th, 2022) – The 1320 Fabrication
ET Series presented by East Coast
Collision Championship Weekend,
October 29th – 30th brought intense
racing action from start to finish.
A yearlong battle for the
championship would all come down to
one race, on one day, Championship
Sunday. Going into Sunday’s Finale
in Top ET, Robbie Parlett would hold
a comfortable 49-point lead over
Jimmy Tayman, 59 points over Vic
Gordy and Chris Maloney, and 80
points over Buddy McGowan. In Mod
ET, Keith Burch would hold a
29-point lead over second place AJ
Jenkins, 58 points over Brian
Mclaughlin, and 69 points over Jake
Milstead. In Hubble Motorsports
Junior Dragsters, Hailey Pumphrey
would hold a 20-point lead over
Jordan Denny, and 42 points over
Katie Hall.
 In
Top ET the drama would be minimal at
best. Jimmy Tayman and Buddy McGowan
would be eliminated in first round
giving Parlett a chance to hold off
Gordy and Maloney with the 59 point
lead he held over the two coming
into the final day. All three
drivers would be eliminated in the
second round of eliminations
securing Parlett’s Top ET
Championship. Robbie Parlett is the
2022 Top ET Champion for the third
time in his career and a
back-to-back champion. Parlett
previously won the Top ET
Championship back in 2021 and in
2018. Parlett joins elite company
becoming the fourth driver to win
three Top ET Championships at MIR.
The three drivers that he joins are
Wesley Washington, Tom Cable, and
Gary Facemire. No driver has ever
won more than three Top ET
Championships at MIR.
 In
Mod ET, Keith Burch would come into
the day holding a 29-point lead over
second place AJ Jenkins. In second
round, the drama would begin. Burch
would line up next to Brian
McLaughlin and would go -.006 on R/T
and end up being eliminated early.
This opened the door for Jenkins and
McLaughlin to chase him down.
McLaughlin would be eliminated in
third round and Jenkins would be the
lone driver with the opportunity to
chase down Burch. Jenkins would best
Jake Milstead in third round, who
would ironically go -.006 on R/T. In
fourth round, Jenkins would be able
to get the bye run to take the
points lead from Burch and be able
to secure his first ever Mod ET
championship. This is Jenkins’
second career championship at MIR as
he won the Hubble Motorsports Junior
Dragster Championship in 2015.
 In
Hubble Motorsports Junior Dragsters,
a three-horse race would emerge
going into the final day of
eliminations. Katie Hall would be
eliminated in second round, and we
would see Pumphrey and Denny pair up
in third round. This would be the
most important matchup of the year
for these two drivers as it could
decide the championship hopes for
either. Denny would be better on R/T
compared to Pumphrey and would
eliminate her in the third round.
Denny would need to make it to the
semifinals to take the points lead
from Pumphrey and secure his third
championship. Denny not only made it
to the semifinals, but would runner
up and secure the 2022 championship.
Denny also won the Hubble
Motorsports Junior Dragster
Championship in 2018 and 2019.
Congratulations to all our 2022 1320
Fabrication ET Series presented by
East Coast Collision Champions!
