NASCAR Past Daytona International Speedway Budweiser Shoot Out Winners

Currently known as the Budweiser ShootOut, previously known as the Bud Shootout and the Busch Clash, it marks the unofficial opening of the NASCAR season. The field consists of 28 cars. The top six teams from each manufacturer (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, and Toyota) based on owners' points from the previous season clinch berths, for a total of 24 cars. Unlike previous formats, the entry receives the berth, not the driver. If a driver finishes in the top 6 of his manufacturer, then departs his team at seasons' end, the driver who replaces him races in the event. In addition, each of the four manufacturers recieve one "wild card" berth for a car/driver not already qualified, to bring the grand total to 28 cars. It is a 75-lap race. Until 2009 eligible drivers were ones that had won Bud Poles Awards during the previous Nextel/Winston Cup season, or are former Nextel (Winston) Cup Champions, or former Bud Shootout winners. |
The event is split into two segments, the first is 25 laps, with a field yellow for 10 minutes prior to the final 50 laps. In previous years there was a qualifying race run, and results are noted. This is an exhibition event only and no points towards the Driver's Championship are awarded.
History of the Shootout:
1979-1990: Known as the Busch Clash the race consisted of a single twenty-lap
(50-mile) green flag sprint with no pit stops required. For 1991-1997, the
race was broken into two ten-lap, green flag segments. The field was then
inverted for the second ten-lap segment. Prize money was awarded for both
segments for all positions.
For 1998-2000 the event was renamed the Bud Shootout, and consisted of two
25-lap (62.5-mile) races, the Bud Shootout Qualifier at 11 a.m., and the Bud
Shootout itself at 12 p.m. One two-tire pit stop was required for each race.
The winner of the qualifier advanced to the main event.
In 2001-2002, the event was renamed the Budweiser Shootout and expanded to
70 laps (175 miles). Caution laps would be counted, but the finish had to
be under green. A minimum of one two-tire green flag pit stop was required.
The Bud Shootout Qualifier was discontinued as qualifying for Cup races had
been reduced to one round.
In 2003 the race was broken up into two segments: a 20-lap segment, followed
by a ten-minute intermission, concluding with a 50-lap second segment. While
a pit stop was no longer required by rule, a reduction in fuel cell size (from
22 gallons to 13.5 gallons) made a fuel stop necessary.
