UPDATE: Eddie Sharp Racing will make its team debut in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Chicagoland Speedway on Aug. 27 with veteran Steve Park behind the wheel. In collaboration with Sharp Hartman Racing, ESR will make its entrance into the NASCAR ranks at the 1.5-mile track. Park will pilot the #41 Bollegraaf Van Dyk Baler and Lubo USA ESR Toyota Tundra. ESR, which has built one of the top ARCA Racing Series teams, including the 2009 championship team with driver Justin Lofton, began its journey into the NCWTS at the beginning of 2010. Team owner Sharp and Carl Hartman, friends for 20 years, began the Truck team as an extension of ESR at the beginning of 2010. The ESR #41 will stay in the Toyota family, much like the Toyota Camry vehicles in ARCA. Park, a former Sprint Cup driver, made his debut in the NCWTS in 1996. He has collected one win in the NCWTS in 2005 at Auto Club Speedway. He also has three wins, 15 top-fives and 29 top-10s in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. In the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Park has two wins, 12 top-fives and 35 top-10s while driving for various teams including Dale Earnhardt Inc. and Richard Childress Racing.(SPEEDtv.com)(8-6-2010)
