Quick comments from Steve on New Hampshire:

I consider New Hampshire 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 finish points wise.  We’re going to have some fun, and I hope to see the Sparkies at the track.

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.

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.

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.

Park & NDS Motorsports look forward to kicking off new season with a bang!

“I’m excited about the 2009 season! We kick it off this weekend at Greenville-Pickens Speedway and I could not be more thrilled! 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.

Park and NDS Motorsports battle for NASCAR East Series championship once again in '09.

Steve Park and NDS Motorsports finished out the 2008 racing season 9th in points, with 3 top-five finishes and 8 top-tens.

"I'm really excited about the 2009 season. We had some really good results in 2008 and the team just kept getting stronger and stronger throughout the year. I am thrilled to be back with NDS Motorsports and everyone at Waste Management Recycle America. I think we will definitely be a contender for the championship this year and I'm really excited to get things started," stated Park.

Park and NDS Motorsports will get things started early this year with an All Star event at Irwindale Speedway on January 24th.

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.

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
