The Bud Shootout is open to drivers who either qualified for the pole the previous year while running with a Budweiser contigency sticker ("rain-outs" do not count, so no Matt Kenseth this year) or won a previous Bud Shootout. Here's how the field of 19 got in:

I just saw an interview with Brendan Gaughan as he was sitting in his car waiting for Daytona practice. His helmet has hundreds of signatures from the 82nd Airborne guys which was signed during his visit to Iraq with Richard Childress during the off season. What a great thing for the guys over there!!!! I hope he does well in the 500 just for all of them!!

I also see my boy Jr drew last place AGAIN for the shootout. He drew that last year and won, we shall see if he can do it again.
