I just posted the qualifying results for Martin Truex Jr. at Talladega on NJ.com. Check them out and become a follower of all the local racing action at New Jersey Auto Racing.
On a more personal note, Steve Park qualified for the Aarons 499 in a second Tommy Baldwin Racing car. While not from Jersey, he is from Long Island, not far away. He was a great Nascar Modified driver who then went on to driving for the late Dale Earnhardt. After suffering a severe head injury, many felt his career was over. He has been battling back ever since.
I was at Flemington Speedway when Park's Sunoco Modified went higher in the air than I ever thought a car could go. He represented the Modified division that many of us here have loved most of our lives.
I hope he gets a chance to run the whole race, afterall at Talladega all you need to do is survive to have a chance to win. Ask Brad Keselowski or Trevor Bayne.
