Billy Parker

Billy Parker began racing go-carts in 1990, and has gained knowledge of race cars not only through driving them, but by working on them as well. A self-taught mechanic, he served as Hank Jr’s crew chief on the NASCAR AutoZone Elite Division, Southeast Series in 1996 and 1997 before focusing on his own driving career.

Hank Parker

Hank Parker has been called “The Michael Jordan of Fishing.” He is truly one of the most accomplished and revered anglers of our time.

Their most recent show is the mini-series “Hunt Like a Parker”, airing on ESPN Outdoors Even with all of Hank’s awards and successes, he is still a regular guy whose charm and wit make you realize how much he truly loves people and sharing his passion for the outdoors.

Hank Parker Jr

Hank Parker Jr, did not start his professional career in the outdoors, but rather he started out by driving race cars full time in 1998 for the Nascar Busch Series, where we drove for his father’s team. In 2001, he got an opportunity to drive for GNC where he won his first race at California speedway and followed it up the next year to win again at Pikes Peak speedway in Colorado. Hank Jr raced in all three Nascar top touring divisions (Nationwide, Craftsman truck, and Sprint cup) including one race for Ray Evernham in the Nascar Sprint Cup series, co-hosted “Inside the Nascar Busch series” for two years on the Speed Channel and even commentated races for the Nationwide and Truck series on Fox, Fx, and Speed Channel through the years. He raced in one hundred and sixty seven races in an eight year span with thirty-seven top ten finishes and thirteen top fives. Now retired from racing, Hank Parker Jr currently co-hosts “Hank Parker 3D”, airing on the Versus Channel & the mini-series “Hunt Like a Parker”, airing on ESPN Outdoors, with his brother, Billy “Catfish” Parker, and his father Hank Parker Jr. Hank Jr lives in Denver, North Carolina, with his wife Wendy and daughters Alex and Madison and son Boone.

Jason Say

Jason Say, Co-Host of Wired Outdoors, www.WiredOutdoors.com, makes the show tick. Jason grew up in northwest Pennsylvania learning to hunt everything from small game to whitetail. He now travels all over the country in pursuit of whitetail, turkey, caribou, elk, bear and more with his bow and rifle. Jason says, “I am truly blessed with a beautiful wife, son and daughter. My job takes a tremendous amount of time and travel and the hardest part is always being away from my family. The most rewarding thing for me being involved in the outdoors is handing down my traditions to my children. I truly believe this is one of the greatest rewards of being a father.”
