Bud Shootout discussion and predictions

Also, does anyone else think that we might see something similar in Nationwide with the new cars?

I sure hope not, but it probably will be the same.

On another note, you must be excited for this season as a Labonte fan. He's finally in some half-way decent equipment for the first time since JGR. I'm happy to see him get this chance and I hope he does well with it.

Yeah, I'm really excited. I had the "Oh, here we go again" thought when he went a lap down last night, but he ended up on the lead lap in the top 10, so I think last year won't happen again.

Crap. Kurt Busch won. *vomits* LOL. It was an exciting race though until the 4 car breakaway at the end that is. I'm worried cuz the Hendrick cars didn't look to good in the draft.

The 88 was good until Regan took him out. Its too bad because he was really the only real good HMS car. During the caution he was hatching this whole plan on the radio to get with the 48 and stay together and look where that got him. The 48 was terrible as a pusher and Jr had to keep dragging the brake to come back to him to the point where he ended up in the middle of a hornets nest. The 5 actually wasnt bad either until the deal with the 18. I heard multiple drivers on the radio say that the 18 was not good to draft with because his rear bumper felt totally different than the others, almost like it was sticky or something. Funny after hearing that, he gets wrecked out because someone has trouble pushing him.

Wasn't he the only good Hendrick car last year at Daytona too? Which is weird since Dale Jr. is driving what is essentially the 24 car from last year... and he's still fast. And I think Jeff Gordon is basically driving the 5 car from last year... he's fast too, at least in qualifying anyway. *shrugs*
