September 2, 2002

Labor Day Bobby Isaac Memorial 200 lap race at Hickory Motor Speedway
Thirty four cars qualified for the event...with David on the pole. David took the lead on the first lap, however, Jamie Yelton, #8, attempted to go under David in turn 2 on the second lap and hit David in the left rear causing a huge wreck involving at least 5 cars. The #00 sustained heavy damage and was done for the day.

September 27-29, 2002 Taco Bell 300 at Martinsville Speedway
David captured the pole, out-running 112 other drivers for the top starting position for the biggest Late Model Stock event of the season.  On Sunday, he was running 3rd at half way and felt he had a good shot at the win after the crew made adjustments to the car.  However, on lap 147 he developed a problem with a valve stem which caused a flat tire and lost laps in the pits.  He was able to make up one lap and was running 12th when he slowed to avoid a last lap wreck at the checkered flag and got hit from behind just short of the finish line before finishing 14th.
October 13, 2002 Southhampton Motor Speedway's OktoberFAST 450
David started and finished 18th.  David fought handling problems all weekend only to discover a rear end problem after getting the car back to the shop on Monday. David qualified 22nd, requiring him to run a heat race. He finished 2nd in the heat race to earn the 18th starting position.
October 27, 2002 Bailey's Halloween Classic at Orange County Speedway
David qualifed for the pole and lead 185 laps.  Lap traffic shuffled the leaders and David finished in 3rd place. 
November 9, 2002 Bailey's Hometown 300 at South Boston
David qualified 7th (out of 75 cars). He was running 7th and felt really good about his chance for a win when he slowed to miss a wreck on lap 59 and was hit from behind and taken out for the day. Although the finish was not what they would have liked, the team was well pleased with David's showing especially considering this was his first race at South Boston.
