2002 Lite Series Season

The Lite Series is a fictional series owned by NASCAR but operates as its own form of stock car racing. 2002 saw Donny Santos win his first and as of 2014 only championship in Lite Series competition. 2002 also saw perhaps the greatest Lite Series championship battle in history. The four drivers, Santos, Kevin White, Ryan Louis, and Mike Thompson (who was winless), all crashed out of the final race at Fontana, and the race, up until Santos won the race with a last-lap pass, was decided by track position. Louis spun four times, three of which were failed retaliation attempts against Santos, who spun him on only the second lap. Louis was parked and lost the championship. Here are the races and winners:
