Last night's Budweiser Shootout offered its elements of excitement: A controversial finish resulting in Denny Hamlin's disqualification; multiple minor wrecks; high speeds. But what about the competitive racing itself. Except for the four-car pack at the end the race, we saw 75 laps of what is being described as Noah's Arc 2x2 racing. Is this what we will be watching for the entirety of the Daytona 500? Should NASCAR make changes prior to next Sunday's race?
Vinny describes last night's shootout as "it was like we were racing in the Bermuda Triangle or something." Matt Weaver over at NASCAR Ranting and Raving feels "The two-car sets completely eliminate the white-knuckle visual of pack racing while the promise of 205 mph delivered nothing in regards to competition. The Shootout amounted to Merry-Go-Round lead swapping until the last lap."
We at Awesome Race Fans and The Rambling Fink would like to know your reaction to the Shootout and what it means to this week's upcoming Daytona 500.
