NASCAR Nextel Cup 2004 Budweiser Shootout - February 7 , TNT race start 8pmET 5pmPT

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.

LoL

Eventually, I will have to, maybe :-P .. in september, I'm on a cruice for 10 days.. I'll probably entrust you and steveegg and glock rocks with the list.

I guess I could do a Ping from at sea.. Mexico-bound .. :-}

I hope they drop the price on internet access on the ships. man, it's rough on a guy's walletbook, especially if yur a FR'er ...

If we are in shore would work out best, They have cheap internet cafes and kiosks in the ports.

I been watching the quals,, I guess I should check in on steveegg's thread.. I been busy catching up on Prop threads.

Caught the race at a little party. Pretty good. Too bad Dale Jr's aerodynamics were messed up. Hope they figure out what it is by Thursday!
