The race was the 20th iteration of the event and the 5th race of the 2002 NASCAR Busch Series. Rookie Scott Riggs won the pole for the race but it was 2000 Series champion Jeff Green who would dominate the race leading the most laps and winning the race. But the race became a wreckfest and was remembered for a pair conflicts between multiple drivers including the ongoing feud between rookies Shane Hmiel and Casey Mears. The conflicts would eventually go to the post-race where there were two different conflicts with one being between Jack Sprague and Jimmy Spencer and the other being the most memorable between Kevin Harvick and Greg Biffle.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-mar-24-sp-motors24-story.html Green Wins Busch Race at Bristol March 24, 2002 Background The Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as Bristol International Raceway and Bristol Raceway, is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Despite its short length, Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating. It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks.
