Steve Park Finishes 19th at Phoenix International Speedway in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series

AVONDALE, Ariz. (Nov. 14, 2010)- Steve Park drove to a 19th-place finish Friday night at Phoenix International Raceway in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) Lucas Oil 150. Piloting the No. 46 Van Dyk Baler Bollegraaf Lubo USA Eddie Sharp Racing Toyota Tundra. Park completed his 2010 NCWTS season in the desert at PIR.

The No. 46 Eddie Sharp Racing team arrived at the Arizona track ready to compete for a top spot in the second-to-last race of the NCWTS season. In the first practice, the team utilized the time to run laps with a fast time of 28.445 seconds (126.560 mph) around the one-mile track. Thursday night, Park laid down a lap of 28.035 seconds (128.411 mph) in the final practice of the weekend, positioning the team 16th-quickest in the session.

The team got back to the track Friday for qualifying, and Park laid down a lap of 27.954 seconds (128.783 mph). The lap time landed him in the 20th position to start the race later Saturday night.

The sun went down across the desert on Friday night as the green flag flew on Lucas Oil 150, and Park looked to improve on his 25th-place finish in his last NCWTS start at Kentucky Speedway in Sept. 2010. Rolling off 20th, Park took the opportunity to work his way to 18th by the time the field came to the second lap. By the ninth lap, the No. 46 fell back to 22nd in traffic but continued to show prowess as he posted times quicker than the next six cars in front of him.

The first yellow flag flew on lap 17 with the No. 89 of Chris Lafferty hitting the wall. Crew chief Jefferson Hodges made the call to stay out, and the No. 46 restarted under green on lap 23 in the 21st position. The veteran driver found an opportunity to move past Mario Gosselin and Brad Sweet to take over the 19th position on lap 29. "You are quicker than a lot of the drivers in front of you," Hodges radioed to the driver. "Don't waste any time when you get to them."

Park cleared the No. 62 of Greg Pursley for the 18th position by lap 34 and looked to catch up to the No. 23 of Jason White for the 17th position. The field slowed for another caution on lap 53, with Park running in the 17th spot. The No. 46 came down pit road for the first pit stop of the day. The ESR crew went to work, and made track bar and tire pressure adjustments and added four tires and fuel. The quick stop helped Park gain one spot off pit road and moved him to the 16th position.

The green flag waved on lap 59, and spotter Carl Hartman soon directed his driver out of trouble. "There is a spin behind you," Hartman said. "Just keep digging." The multi-car accident brought out the yellow on lap 60.

Clint Bowyer led the field back to green on lap 63 with Park in the 16th position. Caught up in traffic, Park fell to the 18th position and held steady until another yellow flag waved on lap 89 with a car spinning on turn four. Park reported to his team that he was losing a lot of grip on the track as the night wore on. Pit road opened, and the No. 46 drove to the ESR pit stall on lap 91 for the final stop of the night. The crew put on four tires, added fuel and made a track bar adjustment to help the handling of the car. Another quick pit stop by the No. 46 crew helped Park pick up two spots, restarting on lap 95 in the 16th position.

"Elbows up. 40 to go, Park," encouraged Hodges. "You are much quicker than the drivers in front of you. Go get 'em." The caution flew for the final time on lap 113 with Ron Hornaday hitting the wall on lap 113. In the 14th position, Park relayed to the crew that he had no grip and was just going to have to search around for the final laps.

The green flag waved on 118, with Park restarting on the outside in the 14th position. The No. 46 fell back to 19th, telling the team that he was having a really hard time turning the race car. As the last car on the lead lap, Park held steady in the 19th position.

Bowyer grabbed the win in the Lucas Oil 150. With a 12th-place finish, Todd Bodine clinched the 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship with one race left in the season. Park would end up 19th in the race results.

"Overall, it was a disappointing finish," said Park. "We qualified 20th, and as the race got started, we struggled, which I think caught us all out of the blue. We were hoping for a late caution to make some changes on a pit stop, but it never came, so we had to deal with that. We restarted late in the race on the outside, and the track was chattering the tires really bad. Overall, I'm a bit disappointed. We have a lot of confidence in this team, and it is only our third race. We have some work to do, but I really believe that we are going to keep pushing and continue to get better. I have to thank everyone for their support, and we are going to keep digging for the next season."

The PIR race concludes the 2010 NCWTS schedule for Park. He finished the season with three starts and a high-finish of 18th at Chicagoland Speedway. "I have to thank everyone at Eddie Sharp Racing, the Hartmans, Van Dyk Baler, Bollegraaf, Lubo USA and all of the fans for all of their support this season," said Park. "We are working on the logistics for next season, and I hope to be able to return to the series full-time next season."

Tommy Baldwin Racing & Steve Park to Honor Modified Series Champion Richie Evans

Asking Fans to Contribute to be a Part of the Legacy

May 27, 2010 (Mooresville, NC) -- Tommy Baldwin Racing and driver Steve Park are pleased to announce that they will be entering a fan sponsored, Richie Evans tribute car at the Coke Zero 400 in Daytona on July 3. The #36 Chevrolet will feature a throwback orange and black paint scheme with the fans’ names sponsoring the car integrated into the design.

Richie Evans, “The King of Modified Racing”, won eight consecutive Modified Championships from 1978 to 1985. In 1979, Evans posted 54 top-five finishes in 60 Modified races. From Quebec to Florida, Evans racked up more than 400 career victories. His achievements have been heralded by the International Motorsports Hall of Fame as, “One of the supreme accomplishments in motorsports.”

“Richie Evans is one of the guys we all worked hard to beat and to be around,” Baldwin said. “I always looked up to him."

Evans was fatally injured at the age of 44 during practice for the Winn-Dixie 500 Triple header at Martinsville Speedway in 1985. At the time of the accident he had already clinched the Winston Modified Tour championship, now known as the Whelen Modified Tour.

"I hope that this will be the first in a line of tributes to some of the best racers in the world who inspired me and many others - modified racers,” Baldwin said.

Fan sponsors will choose from different tiers of sponsorship that range from $20 -$10,000 allowing them to actively participate in a memoriam of the greatest racers in the Modified Series, a junior league to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Each sponsorship package buys fans different levels of involvement, including everything from their name on the car, to pit passes, garage tours, and even featured placement on the hood of the car. Any contributions exceeding the total amount of $125,000 will be donated to the Victor Junction Gang Camp by TBR.

Two-time Sprint Cup Series winner Steve Park will drive the TBR machine in the Daytona race. This will be Park’s first trip back to Daytona since he won the pole in 2003.

“I’m extremely honored to be driving a car that pays homage to one of the greatest race car drivers of all time,” said Park. “Richie is respected by so many drivers and he really made his mark in this sport. This is a really neat way to get the fans involved while paying homage to one of the greats.”

Want to sponsor the car? Sponsor packages and can be purchased via paypal at http://tinyurl.com/344f9y4 or you can pay by sending a check to Tommy Baldwin Racing at 296 Cayuga Drive, Mooresville, NC 28117. All contributions must be received by June 25th to be on the car. For complete guidelines please visit tommybaldwinracing.com

Looking forward to seeing friends and family… and may be play a bit of golf…it will be a blast.

Steve Park Races Hard And Captures Third At Phoenix International Raceway

Phoenix, AZ (April 16, 2009) – Running his second season with NDS Motorsports, Steve Park regularly competes in the Camping World East series driving the No. 35 Chevrolet, Waste Management Recycle America. However, his second race of the 2009 race season would be at Phoenix International Raceway in the NASCAR Camping World West series, Jimmie Johnson Foundation 150.


Going into this race Park’s main goal was to keep the momentum going from his first race, which was the East opener at Greensville Pickens Speedway. Park qualified fourth and finished seventh. I believe we have a top five ability, with last year being our first year together; it was a learning and growing year. There were a lot of ups and downs and due to circumstances the top five’s didn’t happen. In the winter we made the right improvements to optimize the team’s strengths so we can achieve our goals.


As the race day unfolded, practice sessions were utilized with Park’s experience from the past and the team ability in preparing the car. “The team did such a great job in preparing the car for me” says Park. In qualifying, he placed fifth with a time of 28.036 out of thirty-five. When asked how he felt about his qualifying time, “Pretty good, but felt my car was better than I was.” “Turn one and two went well, but turn three I under drove and turn four I over drove.”


Starting the race in fifth, Park took the lead in lap 86 and held on till lap 117. Jason Bowels took lead on lap 118. Park and Bowels swapped lead three other times till Park took lead on lap 149. On the final few laps a caution was out, and when the restart went with a green white checkered Steve Park raced hard and finished third.


Park commented about the race, “Racing the last ten laps I knew I was up against some odds with tires and such.” “This was just good hard, clean racing and haven’t been involved in a race like this for over two years.” “I mean I was impressed with the West drivers with there race savvy….no damage and such.”


I’d like to thank all the guests of Waste Management Recycle America that came out to watch the race; it was great to get the opportunity to meet some of you and put on a good show, expressed Park.

April 15,2009

Park and NDS Motorsports are coming off a 7th place finish last week at Greenville-Pickens, heading into the Jimmie Johnson Foundation 150 at Phoenix International Raceway on April 16th.

“We’re out west again! I can’t say enough about this team and our sponsors to allow us to get out here to Phoenix and run this event. I would like to thank them for their hard work and support. I think we definitely have a shot at winning; the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo has been running well and I think we will be a strong contender.

I’ve got a lot of time around this track, and I definitely enjoy racing here. With the team really coming together and a bit of luck on our side, I think we will have a good outing”, stated Park.

The Jimmie Johnson Foundation 150 at Phoenix International Raceway is Thursday, April 16th.

Post-race Comments - Greenville-Pickens

Mooresville, NC

April 15,2009

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports Qualified 4th, Finished 7th.

“We had a descent qualifying effort with a 4th place starting position, and the car was good thru out the event. Definitely would have liked to have brought home a top-5 finish, but anytime you can leave a track like Greenville-Pickens with the car in one piece, you have to be pleased with that.

It was great seeing all the Sparkies at the track. They really made the event exciting. I was happy to see a lot of familiar faces, and some new ones as well. Overall, we had a great race. The NDS Motorsports Crew did well in prepping the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo, and we definitely have a lot to look forward to this season.

I think we will continue to get stronger and come home with some good finishes this season. Our ability to make a run for the championship is strong and I think we can build on the past years experience and be a very strong contender.

Honestly, I’m very excited about this season! We definitely are going to have some good results. I would like to thank the Sparkies for their continued support and I would like to thank Waste Management Recycle America, and Whelen for their efforts this season as well. We will go get’em at Phoenix this weekend”, stated Park.


Next event: Jimmie Johnson Foundation 150 at Phoenix International Raceway on April 16th.

We have the same crew as last year and they have been busting their tails all off-season. The equipment is good, the team has a year behind them and everything looks good for the #35 Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo. I’m ready to get going. I think this will be a great year for NDS Motorsports. Look for us to run up front a lot this year”, stated Park.

Post-Race Comments Irwindale

Wet, Wild, and Bizarre weekend of festivities at Irwindale Speedway. Park and NDS Motorsports started 25th and finished 23rd.

"What a wet and unique weekend! We rolled into Irwindale Thursday and really did not see much track time until the race began late Saturday. The weather really pushed the NDS Motorsports crew and myself to stay focused. When all you want to do is race and you just have to keep waiting, gets to be a bit frustrating. Once we finally got the race started, we had a lot of ground to make up with a 25th place starting position. We got into a mess early, but we were really coming on strong. The Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo felt good and we were picking up positions.

We came in for some adjustments at the 100 lap mandatory caution and the car would not fire. We had a problem with the ignition, which put us back about 40 laps. We finally got the car fired up and we were able to use the rest of the night as a test session for the upcoming season. I learned a lot about the car, we were able to run with the 8th place car the remainder of the night. We definitely could have brought home a top-ten with how the car was running. It's unfortunate to have such a small problem ruin your evening, but I think we were able to utilize the remainder of the race.

I cannot say enough about the NDS Motorsports crew for staying focused and really putting their heart into this team. I would like to thank everyone at Waste Management Recycle America for their support. I would also like to wish Scott Steckley and his team the very best for their upcoming season. It was a pleasure working with him and his team, what a great group of guys", stated Park.

"A ton of cars are entered for this All Star Race. This just shows how popular this event is. I think we have not only a good shot of sitting up close on the grid, but possibly bringing home a victory. Everyone at NDS Motorsports has really been working hard to get this Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo off to a good start on '09. I think we can get things going starting this weekend", stated Park.

The Toyota All Star race is this Saturday at Irwindale Speedway in Southern California. Note: race to be televised on Speed Channel.

Mooresville, NC (October 31, 2008)

Post race comments Stafford & end-of 2008 Racing Season

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports finished the 2008 racing season in 9th place.

"Stafford was rough on us. We had a brake problem throughout the race, which caused us to come in and really fall back. We ended the day with a bad finish, it's just unfortunate for everyone on the NDS Motorsports Crew, whom has shown throughout the season how well they adapt to diversity and come out stronger the next week. We ended up dropping several positions in the final points run, but I think overall we showed a strong effort on how competitive we can be. A top ten final finish is something to definitely be proud of. I think with a bit more luck we could have been strongly up in the top-five or so.

I'm proud of everyone on the NDS Motorsports Crew, what a fantastic group of people and a wonderful organization to be a part of. I would like to thank everyone at NDS Motorsports and Waste Management Recycle America…what a fun race season. I would also like to thank all of the fans I saw throughout the 2008 race season. Thank you for your continued support and thank you for your generosity. I look forward to seeing you all very soon," stated Park.

 
IMPORTANT - race scheduled for this weekend in Stafford has been postponed due to expected bad weather to the 10th, 11th & 12th of October...check easteries.com for further details.
 
Mooresville, NC (September 26, 2008)

Pre-race comments Stafford

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports currently sit 6th in the point standings, after a strong finish at Dover.

"Stafford has always been a great place for me. It's one of those tracks I call home. I've been here so much, it seems like a vacation when I return here..a lot of old friends and familiar faces. I've always enjoyed running at Stafford. I think the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo has a really good shot at this one. We keep getting stronger and stronger week in and week out. It's unfortunate that the season is coming to a close. With the way this team has been running, I think we could have made a run for it with the way we've been finishing. We're going to come out swinging for this one. I think we can get a win at Stafford," stated Park.

Post-race comments Dover
"We had a nice run at Dover, finishing 4th. Great car, the NDS Motorsports Crew had their hands full trying to keep the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo from bottoming out on the high banks. Few issues during the race; we lost power steering on lap 20, we had to make some extra pit stops to try and fix that issue, and we had a few issues with being tight towards the end of the race. Overall, pretty good race. I would like to thank AR Integrated Technologies for coming on board as a Sponsor for the Dover race, what a great group of folks. Thank you for your support...Congrats to Matt Kobyluck on the championship," stated Park.

Pre-race comments Dover

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports currently sit 6th in the point standings, after a great outing at Loudon.

"What can I say, I love Dover! I've always enjoyed Dover and I'm extremely excited about the race. We had a strong finish at Loudon, and I think we can keep that momentum going. It's always nice to come off a strong finish and be at a track like Dover. I think the NDS Motorsports Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo will do well. Everyone on the crew has worked extremely hard for this weekend. I'm excited," stated Park.


Post-race comments New Hampshire (Loudon)
"We ran really well and I thought we had the win. With a little more petro, I think we would've had the win. It's tough to take the white flag leading the race and not be able to get the win because of low fuel. However, second is better than a lot of other positions, so I'm glad the NDS Motorsports Waste Management Recycle America Team was able to bring home a second place finish. It really helped us in the points as well.," stated Park.

September 11, 2008 - Quick Note-Park starting 2nd at Loudon

Mooresville, NC (September 10, 2008)

Pre-race comments New Hampshire (Loudon)

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports currently sit 9th in the point standings, after a rough outing at Mansfield.

"Very excited about being back at Loudon. We had some bad luck here earlier in the year, so let's hope that's behind us. We tested the Waste Management Recycle America Machine a few weeks back, and I think we are going to come out pretty strong. Everyone on the NDS Motorsports Crew has been busting their tail to finish the remainder of the season strong. I'm really excited about Loudon! It's good to be back in the North East and I think we have a good shot at the win. I can't thank everyone at NDS Motorsports enough, what a quality team. These guys don't quit, and I think this will show this weekend," stated Park.


Post-race comments Mansfield
"We were strong the entire race. Unfortunately, the tires locked up and spun as I was leading the race. It's more than frustrating to say the least. We brought the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo home in 18th place, which doesn't represent at all how well we ran. I hate to leave a track like Mansfield knowing we had a shot. We will regroup and head to Loudon looking for the win," stated Park.


Mooresville, NC (August 22, 2008)

Pre-race comments Mansfield

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports currently sit 7th in the point standings, after a strong top-ten finish at Lime Rock.

"I love Mansfield! I've been here with the Craftsman Truck Series for the past several years, and I absolutely love this track. I think we have a good shot at bringing home a victory. The NDS Motorsports Crew has done a wonderful job preparing the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo. I think we've got a shot," stated Park.

Post-race comments Lime Rock Park
"Nice to bring home another top-ten result….We ended up 7th, which is a good start to climb our way back up the points. Overall, it was a pretty good race. Wish we would have brought home a win for the Waste Management Recycle America machine, but a top-ten will do," stated Park.


Mooresville, NC (July 25, 2008)

Pre-race comments Adirondack

"This is one unique track! I've been here before testing, and I can honestly say there are not too many tracks like it. This will be an interesting race. I'm looking forward to getting out there and bringing home a strong finish. Nashville showed that we could adjust to adversity and bring home a top-ten finish. Looking to be a bit stronger here at Adirondack, and hopefully get to victory lane. The Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo has been running well, so I'm excited," Stated Park.

Post-race comments Nashville

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports currently sit 8th in the point standings, after a strong outing at Nashville.
"We were a little loose at the beginning of the race. Came in and made some adjustments that helped the car handle a little better. We finished the night with a sixth place finish, which we are proud of. We ran up front a few laps; so getting a top-ten out of the evening was something to be proud of. The whole NDS Motorsports Crew did a great job in getting the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo to handle better. Glad we brought the car home in one piece," stated Park.

Pre-race comments Nashville

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports currently sit 10th in the point standings, after another rough outing.

"Extremely looking forward to the race this weekend at Nashville. I've had success at the track in the past, and I think we've got a really good shot. We're coming off of some rough finishes the past two races, so I think luck is going to turn in our favor. We've got a lot of fans in the Nashville area, which is always fun. I'm ready to take the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo to victory lane at Nashville," stated Park.

The Camping World East Series resumes racing this weekend, the 19th, at the historic Music City Motorplex in Nashville, TN.

Post-race comments Thompson

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports started the Pepsi Full Fender Frenzy 100 at Thompson Speedway in 6th place, and finished the evening in 22nd.

"Wow what a race! We ran really well throughout the entire event. We just had some bad luck that kept us from a strong finish. I hate it for all the guys on the NDS Motorsports Crew, they worked so hard. I guess you would say it was one of those racing deals. I'm looking forward to Nashville, maybe we can get some good luck in our direction," stated Park.

 

Mooresville, NC (July 7, 2008)

Pre-race comments Thompson

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports currently sit 8th in the point standings, after a rough weekend at Loudon.

"We are looking to get back on top of things at Thompson. I've turned a lot of laps there, and spent a great part of my early career at Thompson. I love it! I'm excited to be back at Thompson, and I'm ready to get back in the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo and bring home a strong finish. After the part mishap at Loudon, you've got to let things like that be in the past and make sure you are ready to compete the next race. We've had some really strong finishes, and we are looking to keep that trend moving forward," stated Park.

The Camping World East Series resumes racing this weekend, the 12th, at Thompson International Speedway, in Thompson, Connecticut.

Post-race comments Loudon

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports started the Heluva Good! Summer 125 at Loudon in 3rd place, and finished the evening in 28th.

"We were running well throughout the race until we had a part go bad on us. It's a shame; the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo was really running well. We had a part go bad, which forced us to pit, and put us several laps back. We never were able to get back from the bad luck. It's a racing deal, parts break and you have to rebound, which is what we are looking to do at Thompson," stated Park.

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports qualified the #35 Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo in 4th position and ended the evening with a top-five finish in 5th place.

"We definitely had a car to win that one! We had a tire go down after the rain delay so we had to come in for a stop. Luckily, we were able to stay on the lead lap and fight our way to a top-five finish. The NDS Crew did a wonderful job in the face of adversity. The points are tightening up, so I'm looking forward to Loudon", stated Park.

"Watkins Glen, what can I say; I love this place! I'm thrilled to be back at Watkins. I got my first cup victory here and I absolutely love the racing. It's in my home state, which means I get to see familiar faces and feel like I'm at home. The guys have done an excellent job preparing the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo for the event. I think we will really have a shot at bringing home a win. Last week at South Boston we brought home an eighth place finish after a tough night of short track racing, so I think a turn on a road course will be fun. I'm really excited about Watkins, I've been looking forward to this one for a while." stated Park.

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports qualified the #35 Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo in 17th position and ended the evening with another top-ten finish in 8th place.

"What a night and what a track! We struggled with our qualifying effort, starting 17th, which means you are going to get into some traffic and have to battle your way to the front, which we did plenty of both. Anytime you are able to put the car back on the hauler in one piece means you had a fairly good evening, and that's saying a lot for a track like South Boston. We had a strong Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo; the guys once again did a phenomenal job. We got into some trouble during the race and we were able to bring the car home in 8th place…so overall I'm pleased with our performance. I say it every week, but we keep getting stronger and I can't tell you how excited I am about heading to The Glen next weekend. Anytime you can leave South Boston with a top-ten, that's a good thing", stated Park.

Mooresville, NC (May 30, 2008) – Pre-race comments South Boston

"Each week we keep getting stronger. We've had some good test sessions for South Boston, which I think will definitely pay off. Last race at Iowa we got beat on fuel mileage strategy, which is a tough way to lose positions, but I'm hoping we get some good luck in our favor this weekend. The NDS Motorsports Crew keeps putting a quality Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo on the track, and I hope to steer it to victory lane this weekend. We've had two top-ten finishes in the first two races, and I'm looking forward to improving that trend" stated Park.

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports is currently 4th in the Camping World East Series points standings heading into South Boston this weekend.

Mooresville, NC (May 21, 2008) – Post-race comments Iowa

"The Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo was strong; we just got beat by fuel mileage strategy. I was extremely proud of the team; we really had a great car. Just a shame we didn't get a victory…however, I'm pleased that we were able to bring home a top-ten finish. We are getting stronger each race, so I'm ready to get to South Boston", stated Park.

Mooresville, NC (May 16, 2008) - Pre-Race Comments Iowa - "This will be the first time I've ever turned a lap at Iowa. I'm very excited about this weekend's race, where the East meets the West. Iowa is a track very similar to Richmond, and I had some great results at Richmond. So hopefully we can pull out a decent finish and possibly a win for the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo. We tested earlier in the week at New Hampshire and had some positive results, so I'm excited about the upcoming schedule", stated Park.

Mooresville, NC (April 22, 2008) – Post-race comments Greenville-Pickens Speedway - Greenville, S.C.

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports started the Waste Management Monte Carlo in 20th, and finished the evening in 9th. "We didn't get a lot of time in practice, our South Boston test was rained out, and we simply didn't have a lot of on track time to dial the car in. Our qualifying effort wasn't stellar, which meant we had to make some early pit stops to get the car dialed in for the long haul. The guys never gave up. We made some early adjustments and were able to fight our way back up towards the front. To be absolutely honest with you, getting a top ten finish was really something to be proud of. It shows that we have some really good equipment, a crew that is relentless and with the right amount of practice we will definitely be a top five car battling for the win," stated Park.

"We've got some really good tracks coming up that I love to race at. We've got Watkins Glen, Thompson, Loudon, Dover, and so much more. We've also got Nashville coming up, where I got my first Busch Series win with D.E.I. I'm really excited to get the Waste Management Recycle America Monte Carlo back in action. I had a lot of fun Saturday night and was especially happy to see the Sparkie turnout. I can't say enough about the fan support. The Sparkies continue to amaze me!"

"We had a great test here last week. We were able to get the car dialed-in and make some good adjustments. Basically, I'm thrilled to death to get the ball rolling. We've got a great team here, some really devoted guys and some great equipment behind us. These guys have worked hard on the car, and I think it will definitely show this weekend. The competition this year is extremely tough. We've got several cup teams fielding cars along with some extremely competitive teams that are here year-after-year, so we will definitely have our hands full. First race will definitely be a learning curve, feeling out all the new competitors. I'm ready to get back behind the wheel. I'm also looking forward to seeing all of the Sparkies at the track. I can not thank them enough for their continued support," stated Park.

I think in the future helping out young drivers is something I would like to do! There were so many mistakes that I had learned from that it would be nice to help the next guy not make the same mistakes and watch there career prosper because of the help you were able to give them!

Dear Fans,

I want to personally thank all of you for your continued support during this transitional time. At this point, I will not be in Kentucky for the Built Ford Tough 225. I wanted to make this public as soon as possible, so you fans planning to attend the race would be aware of my absence. I am hoping to be back in the saddle for the July 15th, O'Reilly 200 at Memphis Motorsports Park.
I want to thank Jim Harris and everyone at Harris Trucking Motorsports for such a wonderful opportunity. Again, I want to thank all of you fans for your continued support. Hope to see you all trackside very soon.

Sincerely,
Steve Park
