| American Racing Wheels 200 - Official Results |
 Redemption is the perfect description of Steve Park's (No. 62 Jasper Engines & Transmissions Dodge) drought-ending victory on Feb. 25 at California Speedway.
Park's rising star - he won two NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races driving for Dale Earnhardt Inc. in 2000-01 - made a detour after the driver suffered a serious injury at Darlington Raceway nearly four years ago.
Many said Park, 37, couldn't again climb the mountain.
