Even though the crowds were not like they have been in the past they were still treated to a very good race and lot,s of excitement along with a good number of crashed up race cars as well. Kevin Harvick passed Jamie McMurray on the last lap to claim the 2009 Bud Shootout crown and bragging rights for a year. Tony Stewart who now drives for his own team finished third with Jeff Gordon coming in fourth.
With the economy struggling many people including Nascar drivers, owners, and even the higher up brass knows this will be a very tough year for them. They did put on a great show last night and the Daytona 500 next weekend should also be very exciting to watch. I am interested to see how qualifying plays out as well as that will tell you who has some of the cars to beat. All Nascar fans should be happy as Darrell Waltrip would say Boys it,s time to go racing.
