Todd Parrott (born February 9, 1964) is an American crew chief. He is currently a crew chief in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for Michael McDowell on the No. 95 Chevrolet SS for Leavine Family Racing. He was the 1999 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion crew chief, working the No. 88 Robert Yates Racing Ford of Dale Jarrett.
He was the championship crew chief of the #88 with Dale Jarrett in 1999. He is also the third most winning active crew chief in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with 31 career wins as of 2013. Parrott is the son of former Richard Petty crew chief Buddy Parrott and a brother of former Carl Edwards crew chief Brad Parrott.
Parrott's first crew chief position was working with Ernie Irvan in 1995 at Yates Racing on the new #88 Ford for two races. When the #88 went full time in 1996, Parrott became the crew chief for Dale Jarrett, winning the 1999 Cup Series championship. After 2002, Parrott worked for periods with several Yates drivers including Jarrett, Elliott Sadler, Travis Kvapil, and David Gilliland. In 2006, Parrot was briefly crew chief for Bobby Labonte at Petty Enterprises before returning to Yates to work with Gilliland. After the 2008 season, Parrott was moved to former Joe Gibbs Racing satellite Hall of Fame Racing, which would begin operating out the Yates shop in 2009. The driver was Bobby Labonte, but once again Parrott and Labonte failed to make it through a full season, while Yates Racing folded following 2009.
