The good: Started and finished second at Fontana. Ran sixth at Phoenix and qualified third at Nazareth. Also started fifth in season-opener at Homestead.

  • Season highlight: Led 45 laps and raced wheel-to-wheel with IRL champion Sam Hornish to the checkered flag at Fontana. Lost by 0.0281 of a second.

    The bad: Crashed by Tomas Scheckter at Nazareth and suffered a broken back.

  • Season lowlight: That accident ended his season.

    Key stat: Still finished 26th in standings despite competing in only four races.

    2003 outlook
