This will be the last "Budweiser" shootout.
The Budweiser Shootout is a 70 lap, 175 mile all star NASCAR Nextel Cup (formerly Winston Cup) non points race held at Daytona, one week before the Daytona 500. The event is held on Saturday night, under the lights. Also new this year is the race will be broken up into 2 segments. The first segment is 20 laps. The teams get a 10 minute break and line up in the same order as at the end of the segment. The second segment must end with a green, white, checkered finish. All caution laps count toward the total of each segment. All restarts are double file (like the start of the race). Drivers qualify, not teams. If a driver leaves a team, the new team will be in the race. To qualify:
Each driver/team must participate in Budweiser's promotion of pole qualifying (a decal). The driver/team must qualify on the pole (or be the fastest program qualifier if the pole winner does not participate) of a Nextel Cup points event in the previous year. Past winners from previous "Budweiser Shootout", "Bud Shootout", and "Busch Clash" events are eligible. Drivers must finish in the top 50 in points the previous year. The field starting positions are chosen by random draw.
Fire em up and let's go racing boys!!!

This will be the last "Budweiser" shootout.What does THAT mean? No more shootouts - or will they be called something else? A "Winston" shootout is fine with me. A "Smith & Wesson" shootout would be too cool.
Oh, and will it be okay to post smokin' hot girlie pictures on NASCAR threads this year?
We're off to a good start - eh?

I haven’t been watching NASCAR much for a while. Whilst getting my dainty mane coiffed at the salon I saw in the paper that the Bud Shootout was tonight - time to get caught up.
What in tarnation is going on here?
Junior is in a car with an 88 on it and I read here that he’s driving for Hendricks now? This is the last “Budweiser” Shootout? My beloved Tony is in Toyota with a mullet? My lord, what’s next?!
