Ku sii wad qodobkan - Xilli ciyaareedkii 2001 ee Park wuxuu ku bilaabmay shil ku dhacay wareegga 173 ee Daytona 500
, taas oo uu ka mid ahaa siddeed iyo toban baabuur ku lug leh. Wax dhaawac ah ma soo gaarin waxaana uu hogaaminayay dhowr wareeg ka hor shilka, kaas oo laftiisu hoos u dhacay shilkii uu shaqaalihiisa Dale Earnhardt ku dhintay wareegga ugu dambeeya. Toddobaadkii xigay, Park ayaa guul dareen leh u soo hoysay DEI isagoo ku guuleystay Dura Lube 400 ee North Carolina Speedway. Wuxuu sidoo kale ku tartamay Busch Series xilli ciyaareedkaas, laakiin 1 -dii Sebtember, wuxuu ku dhaawacmay shil ka dhacay Darlington Raceway isagoo kaxeynaya Chevrolet No. 31 ee Marsh Racing. Intii uu ku jiray taxadar, taayirkiisa ayaa ka baxay, taasoo keentay inuu si adag u leexdo bidix. Isla mar ahaantaana, Larry Foyt waxa uu dardar galiyay si uu ugu biiro safka hore si uu dib ugu bilaabo, wuxuuna ku dhuftay darawalka dhinaca baabuurka Park. Park waxaa isbitaal la dhigay dhaawac maskaxeed iyo dhowr xabbo oo jaban, wuxuuna la kulmay aragti laba jibbaar ah iyo hadal dhif ah. Foyt wuxuu sheegay in baabuurkiisa uu safrayay "in ka badan 160 km/h". Dhacdadani waxay calaamad u ahayd bilowgii halganka Park si uu ugu soo laabto qaybaha sare ee NASCAR.
