Bud Shootout format change

Postby aggiedan2u on Tue Jan 06, 2009 5:09 am

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the new format will allow at least one, if not 2 of the MWR teams to compete in the shootout.
The Budweiser Shootout, NASCAR's season-opening event, will undergo a major format change in 2009 with the top-six drivers in owner’s points for each car manufacturer eligible for a starting berth. NASCAR’s season-opening event is scheduled for Saturday night, Feb. 7 at Daytona International Speedway.


Here is the rest of the story.

Another thing I find interesting is that Robby Gordon switched to Toyota this year. Now that surprised me.
