LONG POND, PA - Current NASCAR Busch Series Raybestos Rookie of the
Year leader Steve Park will make his Winston Cup Series debut in the
Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway on July 20.



Park will drive the #14 Burger King Chevrolet Monte Carlo fielded by

"I'm having a great season in the NASCAR Busch Series which has really
made me look pretty good," said Park, who sits fourth in the overall

Earnhardt and Burger King for giving me the opportunity to realize my
lifelong dream of driving in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series."



The 29-year old driver will also compete later this season at Watkins
