The Winston – won by #12-Ryan Newman: after starting last (27th) in Segment 1, #8-Earnhardt Jr made it quite exciting at the end and almost caught Newman. Newman is the 2nd driver to transfer from The Winston Open/No Bull Sprint races to win The Winston, Michael Waltrip did it in 1996, Newman is also only the 2nd rookie driver to win The Winston, Earnhardt Jr was the first in 2000. See my The Winston 2002 page for results of The Winston, each segment, the Winston Open and the No Bull Sprint along with news, info, rules, qualifying, starting lineup, etc. Also see my Paint Scheme Gallery for many The Winston images, added quite a few images.(5-18/19-2002)
