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.

You got that right!!!

I’m watching MLB Network now. They’re showing the ‘97 World Series highlight video, when the Marlins beat the Indians in 7 games.

I still lose some sleep over the way that 7th game ended......

So what happened to Kyle Busch on the final lap of Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Friday night?

Here is what Kyle just said in the Daytona media center, via Andrea Adelson:

“I guess I screwed up once again. I can’t time it right. I thought I had an idea about it but again screwed up.

“The plan was to knock Todd out of the way. It didn’t work though all it did was shoot him further ahead. I just sat there and was gathering my stuff up and was trying to figure out the plan for the front straightaway. It just didn’t work out. I’m frustrated at myself for not figuring this out yet. “

Todd Bodine won the race, becoming the first two-time Truck Series winner at Daytona.

First 30 odd cars running side by side.

Outside lane is starting to move, inside works best on new tars.
