I think Steve Park is well now, he just needs a team owner to take a chance on him.
It could be a win-win situation for everyone ! :D :up:

Hope he makes it. It was a real shame when he got injured so bad.

He had some good runs in his first attempt at a comeback. In related news, there was an article on Jerry Nadeu on NASCAR.com recently, he is not likely to ever attempt a NASCAR comeback.

Stan, you can add Clint Bowyer to that list of drivers who have won in all three series.

Jerry and Steve were great drivers. I'd like to see Steve get a shot at a comeback. Maybe DEI can bring him back in a car.

I know one fan that would like to see a successful comeback by Steve Park. I am sure that there are many.

Hoss mentioned Jerry Nadeau, it is sad but Nadeau will probably not comeback as a driver.
Jerry Nadeau suffered a very severe head injury & his motor skills never completely returned. :s

A team recently used Nadeau as a technical advisor & I think he could make a good crew/car chief. :D :up:

Someone can correct me if i'm wrong (and i'm sure you will), but i believe that Park and Spencer both won the unofficial NASCAR Grand Slam, winning in Cup, Busch, Trucks, and Modifieds.

That would be me and I'm not alone in my wishes. ;)

I have a great deal of admiration for Steve for a lot of reasons. One of those reasons is his dedication to the Victory Junction Gan Camp. He participated in the North/South charity ride to benefit the VJGC in July. When the ride came through my town I got to see Steve and have my picture taken with him. He was gracious and accommodating to all the fans who asked for his autograph.

On Monday at LMS in conjunction with the Be Petty organization he made himself available to pilot a bunch of his fans around the track in a Be Petty car. All the proceeds from the rides went to benefit the VJGC and his fans who participated had a blast!

I hope somebody finds a spot for Steve.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the car/crew chief gig for Jerry. He's another victim of NASCAR's reactive stance on the implementation of car and track safety measures.
