End and Rebirth of Career
Brewco Motorsports hired Purvis to drive the #37 Timber Wolf Chevy in 2002. In twelve starts for the team, Purvis struggled. He only finished in the top-20 in five of those twelve starts. However, one of those came at Texas. Jack Sprague had dominated all day, but with rain in the area, Purvis stayed out while everyone else came in. It paid off 4 laps later, the skies opened and Purvis collected his 4th career win when the race could not restart.
Six races later, at Nazareth Speedway, Purvis was running solidly in the top-15, when he blew his engine and spun in his own oil on in the backstraightaway. Six seconds later, Greg Biffle slid in Purvis's oil and plowed into the car, causing Purvis severe head trauma.
