BUD SHOOTOUT A GREAT PRELUDE TO DAYTONA 500

By Micah Roberts
 Posted 02/12/2011 at 02:15 AM

It looks like there are enough changes in the NASCAR Sprint Cup landscape to take a shot with a few long-shots for both the Bud Shootout and Daytona 500. On Saturday, take a look at Joey Logano, Clint Bowyer, Dale Earmhardt Jr and Kyle Busch to win the race. Don't bet too much, because this race should be used as a barometer for next Sunday. However, I will say, take Logano and Bowyer early for the Daytona 500 along with Brian Vickers and Martin Truex Jr. I liked them all in pre-season practice. We'll figure the rest out next week. Be sure to check out my column regarding the practices on the auto racing page.
