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." |

Richie

1978
to
1985.
In

His

Baldwin
said.
“I

Evans

during

500
Triple
header
at

the
Winston

some
of
the
best
racers
in
the
world
who
inspired
me
and
many
others
-

Baldwin
said.

I
consider

a
home
track
for
me. I
love
racing
there. We
definitely
have
been
running
well
and
I
think
we
have
a
shot
at
a
victory. If
we
post
a
good
finish
the
next
two
races,
Loudon
and
Dover,
we
definitely
have
a
shot
at
a
great

going

I
hope
to

Looking
forward
to
getting
back
to
Thompson.
Definitely
a
place
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
at
during
the
Mod
days.
We
ran
good
there
last
year..got
into
some
trouble..I
think
we
have
a
top
5
car
for
this
year..would
love
to
bring
home
a
victory
at
one
of
my
"home"
tracks
in
New
England.
Looking
forward
to
seeing
friends
and
family…
and
may
be
play
a
bit
of
golf…it
will
be
a
blast.
Thoughts
on
Loudon
-
we
ran
really
well..
We
were
upfront
with
the
race
winding
down..got
spun..fought
my
way
back
up
to
the
front.
Was
fun,
just
would
have
liked
a
better
finish.

Really
looking

And

At

International
Raceway
Phoenix,
AZ
(April

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
