Shootout, Duels and everything else

Sorry I've taken so long to update about what has gone on at Daytona so far, I've been really busy, and getting help from Mac Productions isn't as helpful as i had hoped it was.



Anyway, The Budweiser shootout was great. Its to bad that Dale Earnhardt Jr, couldn't have won from the pole. I don't think that is done to much. But a job well done to Kurt Busch and his team at Penske Racing for winning the thing.



The Duels, where in my opinion just two Budweiser Shootouts because all three events had a field of 24 cars.



Now i didn't watch the first duel race, only because i forgot they were on, so i really can't comment on that other then that Kurt Busch won that as well. Now who said that Penske Racing didn't have a good Superspeedway program. Though they have something to prove at the 500 don't they.



The Second duel race was ok, i didn't really get into like i would had it been the 500, but oh well. Jeff Burton won the second one, which i was happy about. Burton happen to be one of my many favorite drivers.

Joey Logano spun and hit the inside retaining wall heading towards turn one, and damaged the left front side of his car. Then Denny Hamlin, spun on the back stretch, with according to Mike Joy, Larry McRenyolds, and Darrel Waltrip, help from his other teammate Kyle Busch.

Apperently Casey Mears in the No. 13 GEICO Toyota blew his engine near the start of the race.

Michael Waltrip and Brian Keselowski raced their way into the 500. Mikey will start 8th, and Brain will start 12th, three spots ahead of his brother Brad. I'm not sure who raced their way from the first race.

Dale Jr won the pole during qulifiying but lost the chance to start there because he wrecked his car in practice and has to go to a back up car.
