LAST YEARS SHOOTOUT WINNER FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD



WELCOME BACK RACEFANS

FEBRUARY 7, 2009 ~ 8PM ET ON FOX

The Budweiser Shootout, NASCAR's season-opening event, will return in 2009 as part of Budweiser's multi-year sponsorship renewal with Daytona International Speedway. Since its inception in 1979, the Budweiser Shootout has become one of the most anticipated events on the racing calendar for both drivers and fans. The race marks the start of a new NASCAR season and provides a benchmark for teams as they gear up for the annual Daytona 500.

The race distance will be increased from 70 laps to 75 (187.5 miles) on the 2.5-mile tri-oval. The race will have two segments of 25 and 50 laps with a 10 minute intermission after lap 25 to change tires, add fuel and make normal chassis adjustments. Both green- and yellow-flag laps will count.

Qualifying Procedure for the Gatorade Duel/Daytona 500:

Budweiser Pole Day: This “locks in” the first two positions – the front row – for the Daytona 500. It also establishes the starting orders for the Gatorade Duel at Daytona, which are two 150-mile qualifying races for the Daytona 500.
The fastest car earns the pole for the Daytona 500 AND the pole for the first Gatorade Duel race.
The second-fastest car earns the outside pole for the Daytona 500 AND the pole for the second Gatorade Duel race.



PLEASE REMEMBER OUR TROOPS IN HARMS WAY. PRAY FOR THEIR SAFETY & GIVE STRENGTH TO THE COMBAT MEDICS WHO TREAT THEM.

EXTRA PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED FOR THOSE AT WALTER REED, BETHESDA NMC, BAMC AND THE NEW INTREPID PHYSICAL REHABILITATION CENTER WHICH IS PART OF BAMC.

I got pulled over last night driving home from work. I figure I was doing about 40 in a 25 zone.

And perfect timing too. I’ve got Mark Levin blasting on the radio and no, I didn’t turn the sound down much.

Cop comes to the door says I’m going a little too fast. Looks at my ID and insurance card and knows I’m a couple of minutes from home. I tell him yeah I’m going home from work.

He looks at me again, wonders if he knows me from somewhere. I tell him where my store is and he’s like I live right there, hands me my stuff and sends me on my way.

Whole stop was like 2 minutes max.

LUCKY ME!!!!
