This was Regan Smith's debut (39th) and Tim Sauter's best career finish
(6th). Also Kertus Davis got his first decent finish (24th).

Last race for Ed Whitaker's team. The team's only 2002 race ended with
Regan Smith crashing the car and finishing 39th.

The caution on lap 232 lists car #97 in the wreck, but there is no 97
car in the race.

There must be a typo on NASCAR's official race report then; it shows car
#97 being involved.

Not sure why, but Chad Chaffin replaced Christian Fittipaldi for the
race after Fittipaldi had qualified the No. 30 car. Fittipaldi ran the
full CART schedule in 2002, but this race was during an off-weekend for
CART, and even with the race being postponed for a day I wouldn't think
that he had a prior commitment for Sunday.

Driver changes:
DC | Christian Fittipaldi | 30 | Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade | Chris
Lencheski | Chevrolet

This was the first time that two of the Sauter brothers would each
finish inside the top-10 in a Busch race (Tim finished 6th, Jay finished
8th). The only other time this would happen was when the Busch Series
made their one-and-done appearance at Martinsville in 2006 (Johnny
finished 5th, Jay finished 10th).

Smith's car was actually owned by Rick Goodwin, a second Team Bristol
car. Deborah Renshaw was originally scheduled to drive it in preparation
for running the series in 2003, but Smith replaced her after she was
injured in the crash that killed Eric Martin.

Fittipaldi did have another race to attend to this day. The broadcast
didn't give any specifics but it seemed like an important prior commitment.

Allen Bestwick and Wally Dallenbach were the commentators on Saturday.
Ralph Sheheen and Glenn Jarrett were the commentators on Sunday. The
Saturday pit road reporters were Glenn Jarrett and Ralph Sheheen. The
Sunday pit road reporter was Mark Garrow.

The lap 232 accident which lists a 97 which isn't in the race is most
likely the 47 of Shane Hmiel who watching the video on youtube got some
damage in the crash.
