Tuhia tētahi tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I tīmata te tau 2001 a Park i tētahi tukinga i te huringa 173 o te Daytona 500
, ko ia tētahi o ngā waka tekau mā waru i uru atu ai. Kaore ia i whara, kua arahi ia mo etahi huringa i mua i te hinganga, i whakahaweatia e tana kaituku mahi a Dale Earnhardt i te hinganga whakamate i te huringa whakamutunga. I te wiki e whai ake nei, i wikitoria a Park i te wikitoria a DEI ma te wikitoria i te Dura Lube 400 i North Carolina Speedway. I whakataetae hoki ia i te Busch Series i taua wa, engari i te Mahuru 1, i whara ia i te hinganga i Darlington Raceway i a ia e taraiwa ana i te Chevrolet No. 31 mo Marsh Racing. I a ia e whakatupato ana, ka puta te wira o tana wira, nāna ia i huri kaha ki te taha mauī. I taua wā anō, i tere ake a Larry Foyt ki te whakauru atu ki mua mō te whakaoho anō, ā, ka tukitukia e ia te taha taraiwa o te motokā a Park. I whakawhiwhia a Park ki te hohipera me te whara o te roro me te maha o nga whara whati, a ka raru te tirohanga takirua me te koretake o te korero. E ai ki a Foyt, neke atu i te 100 maero te tere o tana waka i te haora". Ko te kaupapa i tohu i te timatanga o nga pakanga a Park ki te hoki ki nga wehenga o runga o NASCAR.
