Harvick Wins Bud Shootout and Danica Finishes 6th in ARCA

Yesterday was an eventful day at Daytona. The Bud Shootout was yesterday and it was dominated by Carl Edwards until the last laps of the race. The drivers were being very agressive and it felt like I was watching a dog fight. Kevin Harvick ended up winning on the last up due to a massive wreck started by Jeff Gordon, when he spun out Carl Edwards. Tempers were flaring in the race so that maybe a sign of things to come.

Earlier in the day Danica Patrick raced her first stock car race and she ended up finishing 6th. Thats pretty impressive for your first race at the greatest race track in the world. She was just as agressive as the men and showed that even though she maybe a woman she definitely belongs in racing. I look forward to seeing what she does the rest of the year.

Also, Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are on the front row with Martin capturing the pole. The Twin 125’s are Thursday and that will determine the rest of the field. The 500 is next Sunday on FOX and the race starts at 1pm. Stay tuned for more this week as I continue my coverage on the Great American Race.
