The BUD SHOOTOUT pits the pole winners from 2001 against each other in an exhibition event.
In 2001 the format for the Bud Shootout was changed to 70 laps.
Each driver must complete at least one pit stop under green (change at least 2 tires)
and the race must end under green-flag conditions, even if the length of the race has
to be extended. Drivers may pit under yellow, but the pit stop will not count as their
required stop, and caution laps will count toward the 70-lap total
The field includes 18 drivers -- 18 who won a pole position last year, 4 Past
Champions from prior Busch Clash and Bud Shootout events.
Caution laps "DO" count.
There is no more Bud Shootout Qualifying race or 2nd Round Qualifying.
Bud Shootout Pole: On the Thursday before the Race, the drivers choose their
starting positions in a draw
