DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- When you boil it all down, the Budweiser Shootout is nothing but a glorified practice among 19 drivers to see who has the best Daytona 500 backup car.
So why is it always so intense?
Why do 22 drivers -- pole winner from 2003 and previous Shootout winners -- go after it so hard?
Well, it's simple. It's a race. There's money on the line. Did we mention it was a race?
"It's like a bar fight, but the car takes the beating," defending Budweiser Shootout winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. said.

OMG!-I'm on double secret probation already and we are not even to the BUSCH Race.
It has been a VERY stressful last few weeks and the full moon on top of everything else.

Reporting Jeff moved up to stuff Jr...and blew the lead.
Jr. says his car is "out of control", don't like the aeropackage...too loose all over...sure...he moves up from the back like that with a bad handling car, drafting like that? Hmmmmmm
