Budweiser Shootout at Daytona Gets Facelift

There will be a new format for the preseason spectacle known as the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona. This year’s field will feature 28 cars, representing the top seven teams from Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford and Toyota. That lineup will consist of the top six teams from each manufacturer based on the final 2008 car owner points, with the seventh team filled by a “wild card entry” based on the following criteria:

any owner outside of the top six in year end 2008 owners’ points whose driver is a past NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion that attempted to qualify for all of the 2008 events (only one position will be filled per manufacturer and will be based on the most recent past champion per manufacturer);

if an owner/manufacturer doesn’t have a past champion driver, the next highest eligible owner outside the top six in year end 2008 owners’ points from each manufacturer will be eligible to compete in the event.

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. (February 2, 2009) – Ricky Carmichael will drive the Monster Energy No. 33 Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) Chevrolet in Saturday’s season-opening Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) Lucas Oil Slick Mist 250 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Carmichael, a 29-year-old resident of Clearwater, Fla., is slated to make his second career ARCA start for KHI after racing last season at Talladega, Ala.

UPDATE: LISTEN TO KERRY’S INTERVIEW WITH RICKY

In addition to the ARCA start, Carmichael and Monster Energy have teamed with KHI to race in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) during the 2009 season. Carmichael, the most successful motocross racer in history, will drive the No. 4 Monster Energy Silverado for the KHI All-Star Team in at least 14 truck events.

In the history of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), no other rider has won as many championships (15) and races (150) as Carmichael, earning him the nickname the Greatest of All-Time (the GOAT). Carmichael was a record five-time AMA “Rider of the Year.”
