Steve Park: The Number 1

- What should've been a clear cut championship accession became quickly derailed by injury. A builder, a winner, and above all, the number one.
A personal pick of none other than Dale earnhardt to be his superstar driver, this is his story.

It takes a lot to get back in a driver’s seat after that sort of crash. There’s a reason he’s so fondly looked back on
And still the number one! What a driver. Glad he's still alive.
Steve Park and Jerry Nadeau were my favorites as a kid. Not sure why. I fell out of NASCAR for about 7 years due to both those guys basically having career ending injuries. Both those guys got such a raw deal in life.
But they still put together some very memorable races and moments in spite of that.
Park had all the talent necessary to be a successful Cup driver. In 1997, he actually was one of the drivers that participated in DEI's part time Cup Series effort in a rather sick looking #14 Burger King car. Hornaday and a couple other drivers ran that car too
Yep, very true! Robby Gordon also did a start or two in it as well.
Left out his comeback race in 2002 at Darlington but ultimately extremely good video, keep up your good work!
Thank you! And yes, I didn’t think about it until after uploading. But, thankfully I included the Winston open victory at the end there 😅
I have contemplated uploading that segment as a separate tribute video. If so, I’ll throw that in too.
Hope you stick around! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ClumsyCardboard Absolutely, great video ideas!
Very informative and well put together! Keep it up 👍
Thank you! I'm glad i could do his story justice.
Nice video. Definitely worth the wait.
Thanks for the patience and support daniel! Hopefully the next one won't take as long to make haha. Glad you enjoyed!
@@ClumsyCardboard I hope so.
So when you mentioned his previous NASCAR experience before DEI: It was with Hendrick-Newman racing, which wasn't an underfunded team, but a backup team to Hendrick Motorsports and he drove the #14 Kellogg's Corn Flakes car from 1995-1997
That #14 was a very pretty car too.
@ClumsyCardboard Honestly, I thought it was kinda bland, like it was missing something... Oh, I know: colors... But the number font was 🔥
Honestly though, the #5 Kellogg's car from the same era was iconic
@@TheMrtgamer The #5 Absolutey was incredible looking! Forever iconic.
It's kind of amazing the legacy left behind both by Park and DEI would still exist to this day (#1 Car)
Trackhouse, chastain especially, is doing that #1 justice today. I hope he wins again soon! Glen thurman did some great coverage the 1 car's recent history. Worth checking out if you're interested. Tell 'em clumsy sent ya! czcams.com/video/6Shxd1a32Ek/video.htmlsi=Buzi-G4UXNnMcZ-f
@@ClumsyCardboard thanks already did actually
No problem! Great series. @@xavierjuno4572
The music from Daytona USA helps make this video even better!
Glad you enjoyed! It is an incredible soundtrack. Shame Daytona USA 2 cabinets are hard to come by now, but there ain’t as many arcades these days I guess.
I wish he won at Darlington as his repeat 2001 win.
It certainly wasn’t for a lack of trying.. but it just wasn’t meant to be. I wish it too though.
Ryan preece is the best CUP driver
Look at his career CUP stats after 4 full seasons
Whoop whoop
Go get em Ryan 🏆 🏁 💪 👏 🤪 🤸♀️🥤
Preece is another driver with a modified background. He’s got a prosperous career ahead of him. My underdog pick for this year as well
What did you think of the vid?
@@ClumsyCardboard you can't possibly be serious
What CUP series races are you watching?
How's he look today in Vegas
Answer honestly
@@c.d.8975 He’s working his way forward. His effort is impressive week to week. That’s my honest assessment
@@ClumsyCardboard LOL 😆
1:36 the bullshit man himself!
