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.

Leffler got tagged five laps for aggressive driving.

Yeller #4 42 & 24 separately spinning

[vox_freedom]

was surprised by that penalty. maybe something from before had happened? Steve Wallace just said, “he was sure Leffler didn’t mean it.”

[vox_freedom]

Hey, WCG!
My this is a long thread. Is there a some sort of a penalty for starting a new one? :-)

[SouthTexas]

Yeller #5, lap 89

[SouthTexas]

Nascar will have to change their name if they are going to call that every time to Obamacar.

That’s why I think the truck series went to either gas or tars, not both, per stop. More commercials during yellers!
