WELCOME BACK RACE FANS TO DAYTONA SPEEDWEEKS WHICH BEGINS THE 2010 NASCAR SEASON

32nd annual BUDWEISER SHOOTOUT
Saturday, February 6th

The race distance will continue to be 75 laps (187.5 miles) on the 2.5-mile tri-oval. The race will have two segments, of 25 and 50 laps. Both green- and yellow-flag laps will count.

Between segments, there will be a 10-minute pit stop at which time teams will pit and may elect to change tires, add fuel and make normal chassis adjustments.

Starting positions will be determined by a draw at the annual Budweiser Shootout Draw Party on Thursday night, Feb. 4, on the SPEED stage in the Midway, outside Turn 4.
The Budweiser Shootout, which is scheduled for 8:10 p.m., is the climax to a racing tripleheader on Saturday, Feb. 6.

Kicking off the day’s activities at 1:05 p.m. will be Daytona 500 Qualifying Presented By Kroger on Fox.

At 4:30 p.m. on SPEED, the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards will kick off their season with the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 and Danica Patrick will make her much-anticipated stock car racing debut.

Looks like Regan Smith finished 5th. Not bad!

[PA Engineer]

That was close! Pulling for Happy, but a great finish!

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks, I may miss the 2nd race.. errands.

[happydogx2]

That was a fun race. Gutsy move by Knuse - what else is new there.

Smith did good. A bit more bumping then normal but no multi-car wrecks. I don’t think that’ll hold for the 2nd race.

[B Knotts]

I felt bad for Mikey, though. But them’s the breaks, I guess.

[happydogx2]

Maybe he can still get in on qualifying time..not sure where he is on the pecking order.

[steveegg]

And another correction - Mikey can get in on speed if Labonte or Speed race in. Also, Bliss can get in on speed if both Labonte and Speed race in.

[steveegg]

You’re right - Mikey was 5th-fastest on Saturday.

[happydogx2]

You had me worried ‘til I realized I’m running Vista now.

S.T. just lost a computer/’drive???

PS - So whats 5 hr’s of labor and a kazillion electrical boxes and parts and switches gonna cost me?? You may see a “blue” screen yet.

That’s prolly why my ‘puter was acting up earlier this week. Had difficulty getting Special Report On Line.

[SouthTexas]

You’re a little late there dude!

As am I with the races. :)

[steveegg]

MRN - clouds rolled in, temp down 3-5 degrees from the end of the first Duel. Winds have died down.
