Steve Park
#1 / Pennzoil / Chevrolet |
| CAREER HIGHLIGHTS |
Injuries from crash at Atlanta in March limited Park to 17 starts in 1998, so it's like a second rookie season. Could feel like a second banana when Dale Earnhardt Jr. makes five Winston Cup starts this year, but the situation could work in Park's favor, allowing his team to gel around him in relative calm.
Career
Overview: Thought a friend was playing a joke in the summer of 1996 when
he heard message on his answering machine from someone saying he was Dale
Earnhardt. It was no joke, and in 1997 Park drove the car owned by Dale
Earnhardt Inc., to three victories and third-place finish in the Grand
National series points race as he rolled to the rookie of the year award.
... Made his first five career Winston Cup starts, with best finish of 15th
in season-finale at Atlanta.
