I will never say Steve Park was a bust. His first injury in the late 90s cost him a shot at Rookie of the Year. His 2nd injury in 2001 nearly cost him his life and forever affected his driving ability. He was on pace to finish in the top 10 in points that season. Steve Park was a great talent, but circumstances forever ruined his racing career. Can’t call him a bust for that.

His 2001 showed his potential. It sucks because he is a really nice guy and it would have been cool to see but the stars never lined up right.

Steve Park got DEI off the ground. You can see where his stats start picking up through 1999 and into 2000. By the 2nd half of 2000 he was a very consistent driver until his Darlington injury in 2001. He wasnt terrible after that, but it took him a while to get back in the swing, which he did in later 2002, but Theresa Earnhardt in her infinite witchiness obviously had it in for him pretty early in 2003. He got his footing back under him somewhat at RCR at points, but it's pretty fair to say that injury derailed him. Both Park and Michael wouldve had a lot more success if Dale never died.

Darlington in 2001 was such a heartbreak. Came into the race 10th in points before that Busch Series injury. Returns a year later to the track his injury happened at (interesting fact: Park finished the 2001 year in 7th for laps led), takes the lead early on, but gets in a wreck as the leader. Then that was essentially the end of what could have been.

In 2001, he was solidly in the Top 10 in points with a win when he was injured. And he's really getting a throwback scheme this week?

I remember when park had the crash in the Busch series. I was watching that race, and remember just how off that Saturday felt. Like it seriously felt like something was really off.

"A draft bust occurs when a highly touted or highly selected draftee does not meet expectations. This can be for a variety of reasons, but the most often noted are injury or inability to perform at a professional level. A player is also regarded as a larger bust if more successful players are drafted after him or her."

i wouldn't call him a bust, he did get 2 wins in his belt, and did quite well, but like you said, his injuries did him in, and FYI, he did return for one last cup race in 2010 at Daytona for Tommy Baldwin Racing, and he had a 13th place finish there, so it really goes to show you he's no bust, unlike Villenauve, Carpenteir, Conway, Richardson and Gilliland for example

I will never forget Steve's victory for DEI at Rockingham the very next Sunday following Dale Sr.'s death. Courage and tears.

Sometimes "racing luck" gets you to the top and sometimes it knocks you off the top. Bad racing "luck" is not a reflection of actual skill and Steve Park had a lot of that skill. Thanks for RETRACTING

Start a tough luck category and lose the bust label for this man. He deserves more respect. Permanently injured from this sport.
