2002 recap
The good: Captured the pole at Nashville and started on the front row at Kentucky, with a best result of seventh in the first race at Texas. Also scored eighth places at Phoenix and Nazareth.
Season highlight: Led 31 laps at Kentucky and was in position to challenge for a win before a mechanical hiccup and long pit stop dropped him off pace.
The bad: Usual front-runner only led 43 laps all season.
Season lowlight: Finished year with three consecutive DNFs.
Key stat: No top 5s.
