Bristol returns – 2 less races in 2002:

Have not seen a 2002 CTS Schedule as of yet, as far as I know it has not been announced but in a Winston Cup Scene column: The tentative 2002 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule includes 22 events, with up to half of them expected to be run in conjunction with Winston Cup races. That’s up from seven companion events this year, including a race at Indianapolis Raceway Park while the Winston Cup Series is at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While the official schedule won’t be released until all sanctioning agreements have been signed, the preliminary one has been well received. While down from 24 races, the companion events – including a race at Bristol in August and the season-finale at Homestead in November – are considered vital by those in the series. The will be no CTS race in Nazareth in 2002(11-8-2001)
