2002 recap
The good: Bounced back from a concussion at Fontana, Calif. to only miss two races and scored a season-best sixth at Madison, Ill. Also tutored Sarah Fisher most of the year.
Season highlight: Qualified in the middle of the front row at Indianapolis, narrowly missing the pole position.

The bad: Had nine DNFs in 2002 -- all engine failures.
Season lowlight: One of those Nissan failures sent him into the wall after taking the checkered flag in qualifying at Fontana. He suffered a concussion and missed the races in California and at Nazareth, Pa.
Key stat: Only running at the finish four times in 13 starts.
2003 outlook
One of the factory Nissan teams is switching to Chevrolet and Buhl is trying to come up with enough money to run Fisher as his teammate. A nice, efficient team but it needs more money.
Your take
Can Robbie Buhl rebound from a tough 2002 campaign? Here are your thoughts.
