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!

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

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.

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! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bITLqZdnlphle80si=Buzi-G4UXNnMcZ-f
