2002 recap
The good: A solid if unspectacular season that netted one win, a pair of fourths, a fifth and five other top 10 finishes. He also led 116 laps.
Season highlight: Started 11th at Nazareth and parlayed yellow light and bad fuel strategy from Team Penske to take the victory.
The bad: Had three DNFs in first five races of 2002.
Season lowlight: Finished fourth at Nashville but moved back to eighth for blocking.
Key stat: Only qualified in top six twice.
2003 outlook
This 34-year-old veteran is back for his sixth season with Kelley Racing and will be powered by one of the new Toyotas.
