NO MERCY RACING Prepares for the 2026 Prelude to the Dream 50
Word has been confirmed that NO MERCY RACING, owned by Donovan Parker of Boise, ID, will be entering two exceptionally fast Ford Mustangs in the upcoming 2026 Prelude to the Dream 50, scheduled for May 16 at Magic Valley Speedway in Twin Falls, ID.
Donovan Parker’s Return with the #54 Mustang
Donovan Parker will be behind the wheel of the #54 Mustang, the same car he piloted during the 2025 Olga’s California Dream 100. During that event, Donovan was among the fastest competitors of the weekend but was sidelined after a broken wheel caused him to crash hard into the outside wall in turn one. Despite the efforts of Donovan, his crew, and assistance from other teams, a trip 35 miles away to Fresno for essential parts meant they were unable to complete repairs in time to rejoin the race.
Although Donovan received the DENNISON AUTOMOTIVE HARD LUCK AWARD of $200.00, it was clear he would have preferred the opportunity to compete for the $3,000.00 winner’s purse and the additional $2,000.00 bonus from COBRA RACING TIRES, as his Mustang was equipped with their tires throughout the weekend.
Chase Parker and the #52 Mustang
With the bright orange #54 undergoing final repairs, NO MERCY RACING is shifting its focus to the #52 Mustang, driven by Donovan’s son, Chase Parker. Chase finished as the runner-up in the Mini Stock Division Championship at Meridian Speedway in 2025 and is recognized as a top talent in the Mini Stock Class. He is aiming to secure the FURGUSON WATERS WORK winner’s share of $1,000.00 at the Prelude to the Dream 50, supported by a fresh NO MERCY Ford Lima 2300 c.c. power plant. Should Chase win the event, he is expected to make his debut at Olga’s California Dream 100 on August 14th and 15th at Madera Speedway.
