Stacy Compton was the leader at that point followed by Keller and Wallace, and the three stayed pretty much nose to tail over the next 60 laps until the leaders all pitted under green flag conditions. Keller ended up being the big winner here, coming out with the lead when the field recycled with Compton now second and Wallace third. It stayed that way right to the end with only Wallace bowing out of the fray 10 laps from the finish when his motor soured. Keller beat Compton to the checkered flag by a full car-length for his second win of the 2002 season...the most wins in any one season in Keller's long Busch Series career.

Stacy Compton won the pole for the second consecutive race at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Compton and his No. 92 Levi Garrett Dodge Intrepid R/T did much better in the race this time as he led four laps (1-4), spent 39 laps in the top 10 and had the top Dodge at the end with an 11th-place finish. After taking the pole for the race in April, Compton was the first to drop out with mechanical problems and was scored in last place. He called it "going from first to worst."

With rain causing the race to be postponed until Monday, Dodge found itself in the lead for the one of the few times when Dodge driver Stacy Compton didn't pit, and led the race for 6 laps under caution. Ward Burton showed some early strength for Dodge, but a botched pit stop all but put him out of the running for the win. Elliott continued his dismal race performance, falling and running around 20th the entire race, and finally finishing 23rd. Young guns Atwood and Jones never was a factor, nor was Andretti.
