The 2002 Samsung/RadioShack 500 was a Winston Cup (now Nextel Cup) event held at Texas Motor Speedway on April 8, 2002. Dale Jarrett had the dominant car most of the afternoon, but tire issues stopped his run late in 24th. Instead, Matt Kenseth picked up the victory by nearly a second over Jeff Gordon. Points leader Sterling Marlin was 7th to protect a 70-point cushion on Kenseth. Stats
