      Steve Park can't escape the fact that he's part of THE UNLUCKIEST class of rookies of ALL TIME. The entire NASCAR Rookie Class of 1998 is full of unfortunate drivers who had career ending/life ending crashes. Steve Park is one of them unfortunately.

He was never the same after that accident. Also Park got 3 2nd places finishes before his injury.
