Park to test at Charlotte UPDATE 2: CNN/SI’s NASCAR Plus show reported on Monday’s show that Steve Park, injured in a BGN accident at Darlington, will test a roadster at Lowes Motor Speedway to see how his progess is going. Park’s return could return anywhere between Texas and Daytona in July(1-14-2002) UPDATE: Park was excited about a trip he made to Lowe’ Motor Speedway at mid-month to turn laps in a Legends car under the eyes of crew chief Paul Andrews and neurosurgeon Dr. Jerry Petty. Park said he turned laps that were only a .10 of second off the track record for that division and had no problems with vertigo or depth perception. The test went well, Park said. You dont know what to expect when you get back in a car, but with Paul Andrews and the doctors there, I had the confidence to go out. I think it showed Paul that I was back. “It was the best thing the last 4 1/2 month that Ive had, I can tell you that. Park now wears glasses that currently correct his up close vision to 20/17 and he admits that things far away are still just a little foggy. But after that clears, he expects to go racing again quickly.(Anniston Star)(1-27-2002)
