Budweiser Shootout - Daytona

The season is upon is and this weekend it kicks off with the annual exhibition race, the Bud Shootout at Daytona.

This will be the first race in the CoT at Daytona and it will be interesting to see how it goes there. Hopefully it will race better than it did at some tracks last season.

The entry list and grid can be found in the link below, Kurt Busch drew the pole.

http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2008...ta/lineup.html

Prediction: Dale Jr to win.

Speed seems to be er, speedy. I'm guessing Dumarey came thru CAMSO.

What time GMT do the races start?

I think that it will be either Jr or Jeff. Maybe we will see a little more of what HMS cars can do.

The US broadcast starts at Sat 20:00 EST which is -5 GMT (Isn't it Universal Coordinated Time now?).

JR will be the man to beat this year, including the Shootout...he is good equipment this year, fo sho. i have the faith.

He ain't what he used to be but Go Awesome Bill!

Would be good to see someone apart from the usual suspects win.... Maybe a Yeley, Blaney or Newman..... Seeing Hendrick win 18 points paying races kinda gets repetitive after a while.

Still.... It up to everyone else to catch up.

I am rooting for Jr this year. It will be interesting to see him in some good cars. However, it will still take some time getting use to a new organization, maybe an hour or two.

That #25 team's (#88) equipment generally hasn't been as good as the 5, 24 and 48 in recent years though...

I always had the feeling it never had the sponsor $ that the other cars had. That won't be the problem this year.

Penalties for Busch, Stewart after practice incident? NASCAR chairman Brian France kicked off the 2008 media tour in Charlotte, N.C., last month by saying Sprint Cup drivers needed to show more of their personalities. #2-Kurt Busch and #20-Tony Stewart obliged on Friday night when they got into a sheet metal exchange on pit road after an on-the-track incident that wrecked both of their cars in the final practice for Saturday's Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway. Both drivers immediately were summoned to the NASCAR hauler to meet with Series director John Darby and competition director Robin Pemberton. They will meet again on Saturday before the governing body determines what fines, if any, will be issued. The only words spoken by either driver -- both left through a side door without commenting -- came from Busch before entering the hauler. "It's a great way to start off 2008," he said, clapping his hands together.

Kurt and Tony resume battle then. I expect Tony to come out with some highly hypocritical remark about safety any time soon.

That video, when they cut to the 9 onboard, I immediately thought "ah, we're onboard with Dale Jr".

Oh and the cars were running real loose in practice, it is gonna be wild when they race.

I think that Tony should be ok regarding the on-track incident. Kyle Petty and others were saying that it was just a racing incident on track. However, the pit road thing by Kurt Busch was a deliberate and stupid move. Pit road is not the place to take out ones anger. In today's newspaper some reporters were saying Kurt should be penalized by not allowing him to run in the Daytona 500, which may be a little severe IMO.

Kurt had a much worse pitlane infringement at Dover last year if you remember, he nearly took out one of Stewarts crew.

He shouldn't be allowed to wreak his havoc like this to be honest. And I think Kurt and Tony should sort out their differences.
