The Budweiser Shootout for 2009

The Daytona 500 is only 54 days away and it is not the first race to happen. The first race is the Budweiser Shootout and since there is a new rule to make it in, four drivers that would be in it are now out. This new rule is the top six cars from each manufacturer earns a berth for the Budweiser Shootout. The old rule is if you have won it or you got a pole in the previous year, you get a berth. Since this rule has changed, the four drivers that would be in it and know out are Ryan Newman, Patrick Carpentier, Paul Menard, and Joe Nemechek.
