Park’s Vision still not 100% UPDATE: Paul Andrews, crew chief for the #1 Chevys owned by DEI, said Monday the team’s regular driver, Steve Park, is still experiencing double vision from an accident in September during the BGN race at Darlington, SC. Park has not raced since then and Kenny Wallace has been driving in his place. Wallace reported to Daytona Beach this week for the three-day preseason test. Park remained in Charlotte and has another doctor visit planned. “His vision is the biggest holdup and it’s just not 100 percent yet,” Andrews said. “If he wasn’t going to the doctor, he would probably be here at the test with us. It’s been good progress, just a little slow.”(That’s Racin’)(1-7-2002) UPDATE: “My vision is about 95 percent healed,” Steve Park said. “The last five percent is coming back to me stronger each day. Heck, doing those eye exercises every day for an hour or so is finally paying off. The double vision is gone and the only part that still bothers me is when I look from the horizon down. That still gets a little blurry sometimes, but it’s a lot better than it was a few weeks ago.” Park is planning to attend the second Winston Cup test session at Daytona next week. Park has driven his personal vehicle for two months — his reaction and coordination tests have all come back with no indications of lingering effects.(NASCAR.com)(1-9-2002)
