The Bud Shootout is upon us. This is the made for tv race that up until this year featured drivers who won a pole the previous season and all prior Bud Shootout winners. This year, NASCAR has thrown a bone to the car manufacturers by letting the top 6 drivers by points of each manufacturer plus an extra "wild card" driver of the same manufacturer. So, Dodge gets 7, Toyota gets 7, and so on...28 drivers in total. They have also added 5 laps to the race. It is strange because some of the drivers in the race that is for money only haven't really paid their dues to be in the race. ie Scott Speed, AJ Allmendinger, Paul Menard...and some of the least experienced are in the front...it could be a disaster!
This is one of my favorite races because it just an all out slobberknocker! The cars they use are for this race only, and not used in the 500, so they don't really care if they beat the crap out of them!
This race is really for the fans, so hopefully you can tune in and enjoy it!
