Budweiser Shootout
Dierks Bentley during pre-race and Cowboy Crush singing the anthem. Yee Ha…
Whoa! Wild finish as Tony Stewart moves Kyle Busch out of the lead by getting into the back of the 5 car hard and almost wiping Kyle out. Tony goes on to win. Rookie David Gilliland takes a very strong Yates Ford to an impressive 2nd place finish after starting the final segment dead last. Kurt Bush comes home 3rd.
Coming to the stripe, Dale Jr. gets into the back of Elliott Sadler and turns him into the outside wall. The spinning #8 and #19 collect several other cars, including Sadler’s teamate, Kasey Kahne.
Tomorrow is Bud Pole qualifying. Favorites for the pole are Ricky Rudd in the Snickers #88, and David Gilliland in the M&M’s #38. Both were at the top of the speed charts in practice. Sterling Marlin was also very fast in the 14 car for Ginn Racing.
It would be great to see Ricky Rudd come out strong.
