Well, it looks like Mother Nature is already starting her assault on the NASCAR fans for the 2010 season by raining out the Camping World Truck Series race for Daytona. The race is set to roll out at 7PM EST on February 13 now, so lets all hope that Mother Nature cooperates and allows them to run the race so we can see it!

The rain also rained out Qualifying for the Nationwide Series, allowing Kyle Busch to be on the pole for the first race of the Nationwide Series season. Kyle won’t be running the full season for Nationwide, and from what I hear, the Daytona NNS race is the only one Smoke will be running this year.

I am going to be helping out with some race-day discussions over at an LJ community I’m a part of, so stop over and join the fun at RidinXDirty!

Well, congrats to Kevin Harvick, winner of the 2010 Budweiser Shootout. This brings him to a state of back-to-back wins for the Shootout! Way to go Happy!

Tony finished 9th, which isn’t too bad – still in the top 10. Ryan was involved in the last wreck along with Kenseth, Edwards, Martin, Labonte, and Biffle. Apparently Gordon turned Biffle which started the wreck off. EEP!

I’m sorry to say that between eating dinner & taking the dog for a walk, I managed to miss a good portion of the Shootout – but I did follow on Twitter and I do know that Michael Waltrip went spinning/sliding/hitting the wall a couple of times, Kurt Busch went spinning/sliding through the grass, and of course, the big wreck happened.

I did see, however, when they needed the shark fin for Tony’s car and the crew member who went to fetch it got locked out – awesome job climbing the fence while still hanging on to the shark fin – and man can that dude who caught the fin and ran it back to the pit RUN. That was awesome! I can’t wait to see more action like that. (Note to Team Tony: Keep shark fins in pit box from now on.)

Sorry it’s a bit short, but that’s my report on the Bud Shootout. I will be watching the Duels Thursday night, so expect a report on that Thursday!
