QUOTEBOOK
"This will be big for him (Park) personally. To clear a hurdle - and this should give him momentum - this is a personal victory. When he came to the series he knew what he wanted out of it and I don't think last year met his expectations because he didn't win. But I've got to tell you, when I looked at the series last year and I saw the drivers that didn't win, it really got my attention. There are no gimmes over here." - Ricky Craven (No. 99 Superchips Ford), on Park's victory and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in general.
