2002 recap
The good: Added on to Eddie Cheever's team for the final five races and immediately impressed -- taking second in his debut at Michigan, finishing fourth at Gateway and placing sixth at Texas.
Season highlight: Showed up at Michigan with very little testing and qualified second. Led 15 laps but lost out to teammate Tomas Scheckter by 1.7 seconds at finish.
|  |
| Rice, right, had four top-10s in five IRL starts last year. |
The bad: Qualified sixth at Kentucky but faded to 12th.
Key stat: Led 37 laps in five races and qualified on front row twice.
2003 outlook
This ex-Toyota Atlantic champion got nothing but false promises from CART so he made the best of Cheever's IRL offer and has turned it into a full-time ride with the Red Bull squad.
Your take
Here are your thoughts on Rice and his future in the IRL.
