Veteran driver Steve Park hopes success in a NASCAR series designed to showcase up-and-coming talent will resurrect his racing career. The 41-year-old Park took a step in that direction Saturday night when he passed Jody Lavender for the lead with five laps remaining then pulled away from Ryan Truex. to win the NASCAR Camping World Series East Series 150 at Adirondack International Speedway in Beaver Falls, N.Y. His immediate focus is on winning upcoming Camping World East races at Lime Rock, Loudon and Dover. But he has his long-term sights set on a bigger prize. I’m working hard to get back into a Truck or the Nationwide Series,” Park said. “Look at what [51-year-old] Ron Hornaday Jr. has done. He’s quite a bit older than I am. “I’ve raced all my life and it’s in my blood. I still have the desire to win. “I’ve always had the confidence in my abilities to win races. It’s convincing everybody else that’s the hardest thing to do.”(RacinToday.com)(8-5-2009)
