Race Record: Buddy Baker 177.602 mph in 1980
Race Time: 8:00 pm ET, Feb. 6th
Track Statistics & History
Location: Daytona Beach, Fla.
Banking/Turns: 31 degrees
Distance: 2.5 miles
Shape: Tri-Oval
The Daytona Shootout began as the Busch
I Clash and was a fifty-mite "all-out sprint." In
its current format, it is made up of two seg-
ments: a short 25-lap segment, followed by
a ten-minute intermission. After the inter-
mission, the race oondudes with a 50-lap
segment in which each car must make a green flag pit
stop. The race, like the Spnnt All-Star Challenge, carries
no points for the winner but rather a large purse. This is
supposed to encourage an all-out driving style not seen in
regular-season races, where one serious mistake may
hurt a driver's overall points standings.

Biography:
In 2002, Jimmie Johnson joined the Cup series.
He became the first rookie in Cup history to ever
lead the point standing•. Johnson finished second
in the 2004 Cup standings. In 2005, Johnson
stayed in the top five in the points standings all
year, but finished 5th in points after crashing in the
midway point of the final race of the season. In
2006, Jimmie Johnson won his first Cup
Championship with a stretch of top five finishes in
the Chase for the Cup. In 2007, Johnson entered
The Chase as the leader and became the first dri-
ver to win ten times in a season since Jeff Gordon,
who did it three consecutive years. Jimmie won
his second straight championship with a 7th place
finish in the final race. Last year, he entered The
Chase in third place, but moved into first place by
the fourth week and held off Cad Edwards to win
his third consecutive Cup Championship. This
year, Johnson again began the Chase in third
place and moved into first after the fourth race. He
became the first driver in NASCAR history to win
four consecutive championships.
Danica Patrick announced last week that she plans to
compete this year in at least 12 races in the Ne
Sedes. Patrick, who signed with JR Motorspotts, will make
her stock car debut on Feb. 6 in the ARCA series race at
Daytona. A week later, her car is entered in the Nationwide
Series race on Feb. 13 at Daytona International Speedway,
but JR Motor•ports will determine after the ARCA race whether she will drive Feb.
13. Regardless of whether or not she drives in the Nationwide Sedes at Daytona next
week, she will •tad in the Nationwide Series on Feb. 20 at the Auto Club Speedway.
