Harvick wins Budweiser Shootout Kevin Harvick overcame a bout with the flu and a wrecked race car to earn his second consecutive victory in the exhibition Budweiser Shootout on Saturday night. The race had high expectations because of NASCAR's offseason decision to loosen up the rules and allow bump-drafting. The message sent to drivers was "Have at it, boys," and most everyone expected a wild race from start to finish Instead, it was fairly calm and most of the activity was single-car accidents.
The 0 uses a unique qualifying format where only the first two starting positions for the race are locked in during quDaytona 50alifying day. Four drivers not locked into the race via the top 35 rule also secured a starting position Saturday: two-time Daytona 500 winner Bill Elliott, Scott Speed and Joe Nemechek (the three fastest non-top-35 teams) and Bobby Labonte (past champion's provisional) but their starting positions will be set along with the rest of the field during Thursday's Gatorade Duel races.In his first event with his new sponsor, Mark Martin stole the headlines — at least for a moment — by winning the pole for the 2010 Daytona 500 Saturday.
