The Budweiser Shootout was the first race at Daytona since the repave job. How did it rate, what does it tell us about the Daytona 500, and was the rules change to limit cooling airflow to stop these two-car breakaways necessary?
Phil:: The changes were probably necessary if only because the blowover risk was very high. With the speeds being reached Saturday night, if someone spun in the right way, the car pushing from behind could just lift the first car up and over.
Amy:: I thought it was a great race – probably the best plate race since the current car. As for the 500, it will either be a great race or a total cluster. Depends on how smart they drive.
