RE: Bud Shootout Lineup
 

I am picking Kurt Busch to win at least one of the races at Daytona. The 500 would be cool!

RE: Bud Shootout Lineup
 

Newman had a shot at winning the 500 last year, I'm hoping he can get a chance again. It would be nice to see the Penske boys up front.

RE: Bud Shootout Lineup
 

last lap wreck involving both evernham cars (exception of Riggs)....not a good outlook for this years 500...out of three cars Sadler seemed to be able to "suck up" in the draft. as usual they will struggle it seems like...

RE: Bud Shootout Lineup
 

Sadler, Busch and Newman were all running very well with this new nose. I don't think the Dodges will struggle and I think Sadler showed that the Evernham cars won't struggle.Though Newman's engine gave up on him early. But if Sadler wouldn't have wrecked, he would have had a good finish.
