Third Time’s a Charm: Park will compete in his third NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event of the season this weekend at Phoenix International Speedway. Park will get behind the wheel of the No. 46 Van Dyk Baler Bollegraaf Lubo USA Toyota Tundra. Park looks to improve on his 25th-place finish at Kentucky Speedway.

Last NCWTS Event: Kentucky Speedway: Park finished 25th in his last NCWTS event at Kentucky Speedway in September. The Van Dyk Baler Bollegraaf Lubo USA Toyota found trouble on lap 29, when Park’s truck brushed the wall. Park radioed to the crew that trash or rubber got under the car and caused the truck to get into turn two. The team quickly assembled a plan of attack, and Park came down pit road for an unscheduled stop to assess the damage. The crew fixed the damage on the right rear where the truck brushed the wall. Park fought back, but the early, unscheduled pit stop relegated the truck to a 25th-place finish.

Experience at Phoenix: Park has experience at the one-mile track across various series. He competed in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at PIR six times, with a high finish of third in 2001 piloting the DEI No. 1 Pennzoil Chevrolet. He competed in the NASCAR Nationwide Series at PIR once and twice in the NCWTS with a high finish of sixth in 2004. He has also competed there in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West in 2009 and earned a third-place finish.

Back to the Rock: Park made his first-career start in the ARCA Racing Series in October, competing in the No. 53 Costal Wire Ford. The paint scheme on the car was reminiscent of the yellow and black No.1 Pennzoil car from back in the early 2000s– the same paint-scheme he won with at Rockingham in the NSCS in 2001. Bad luck found Park early in the event, however, when the oil line came loose, relegating the team to a 35th-place finish.
