| GNC Live Well 200 - Official Results |
| Terry Cook used a late race caution to full advantage motoring past Jason Leffler with just one lap remaining to win the GNC Live Well 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at The Milwaukee Mile Saturday. The win was the second of the season for the driver of the No. 29 Power Stroke Diesel Ford by International and jumped him from ninth to sixth in the 2002 NCTS championship standings. "We unloaded this truck and it was perfect all weekend," said Cook. "It was flawless. It was like no matter what we did to it, we couldn't screw it up." Cook started off the weekend by rolling to his fourth career pole position turning a lap of 30.054 seconds (119.784 miles per hour) on the flat, one-mile Milwaukee track. At the drop of the green flag, the Indianapolis, IN resident ran off and hid from the rest of the 36-truck field leading the first 79 laps before surrendering the point by coming to pit road for routine service. Leffler, who'd had to forfeit a No. 7 qualifying spot to start 30th after his crew changed an engine on race morning, blamed himself for the inability to protect his late lead. Cook, eighth different series driver to win at The Milwaukee Mile, that began in 1995, first year of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Coy Gibbs, started and finished third in his Chevrolet Silverado. Rookie points leader Brendan Gaughan blocked defending race winner Ted Musgrave to claim fourth, also in a Chevy. Robert Pressley, Mike Bliss, Jon Wood and Travis Kvapil completed the top 10. There were six lead changes among five drivers -- Cook, Leffler, Gaughan, Gibbs and Bliss. The race's three, brief caution periods consumed just nine of 203 laps, the fewest in eight series events on the track.
