There was a big upset in yesterday's Bud Shootout exhibition race. Rookie Denny Hamlin in the #11 FedEx Chevy was pushed to the front by Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Tony Stewart and won the race. Dale Earnhrdt Jr. was second and Tony Stewart was third.
After the race, Tony Stewart voiced his concern to the media and NASCAR about aggressive bump drafting at Daytona. The front and rear bumpers are heavily beefed up. Stewart wants NASCAR to do something about it before someone gets killed. John Darby of NASCAR said they are aware of the problem but NASCAR has to take the safety of the cars into consideration before doing anything. Dale Earnhardt Jr. said the short length of the Bud Shootout had a lot to do with the aggressive bump drafting and it won't be as bad in the Daytona 500.
