2002 recap
The good: This 31-year-old rookie started all 15 races for the new 310 Racing and finished 10 of them with a best of 13th at Homestead and Pikes Peak.
Season highlight: Became only the second African-American driver to qualify for the Indianapolis 500.
The bad: Crashed out of three races and had two more DNFs because of engine failure.
Season lowlight: Crashed in practice and during race at Richmond.
Key stat: Completed 2,325 laps of a possible 3,100.
2003 outlook
Considering he came from shifter karts and had no high-horsepower experience, Mack did a credible job of adapting to Indy cars. But his team is under-financed, especially for the IRL's esculating costs this season and just making it to all the races will be difficult.
Your take
Here are your thoughts on Mack and his chances for the future in the IRL.
