NOTES:

The Budweiser Shootout at Daytona, a pre-season, non-points event, now includes a collection of the sport's top drivers and top performers at Daytona. Eligibility is based on the 12 drivers who competed in the 2010 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup title, past Cup Series champions, previous Budweiser Shootout winners and past Daytona 500 and Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca-Cola champions. The reigning Rookie of the Year in Cup also is eligible. This season, a total of 30 drivers are eligible to compete.

Since 2009, the Budweiser Shootout has been run in two segments, with the first at 25 laps, and the second a 50-lap sprint for the win. That's 187.5 miles on the track's high-banked, 2.5-mile layout. Following the first segment, a 10-minute "pit stop" gives crews the opportunity to make normal adjustments to their cars. That means tweaks they would do on a normal pit stop during a regular Sprint Cup Series event. Following the 10-minute "pit stop", the event's second segment includes a 50- lap sprint for the win.

Anheuser-Busch and its Budweiser brand has sponsored the race at Daytona International Speedway since 1979. Called the Busch Clash until 1998, the name was changed to the Bud Shootout. Renamed the Budweiser Shootout for the 2001 edition, the event just underwent the most significant changes in the format and eligibility since the inception of the event in '79. During the 32 years of the event, there have been 18 different winners.

Tony Stewart, Neil Bonnett, Ken Schrader and now Kevin Harvick are the only drivers to win this race two consecutive years. Dale Earnhardt was a six-time champion of this race. The winner of this race has gone on to capture the Cup championship seven times -- Dale Earnhardt (1980, 1986, 1991 and 1993), Darrell Waltrip (1981), Jeff Gordon (1997) and Stewart (2002). The Shootout winner has doubled as the Daytona 500 champion five times -- Bobby Allison (1982), Bill Elliott (1987), Dale Jarrett (1996 and 2000) and Jeff Gordon (1997).

The 28 cars in the 2009 race was the largest field in the history of the event, five more than the previous record of 23 cars set in 2008.

Since 1979, seven drivers have won the Daytona 500 who did not compete in the Budweiser Shootout the week before: Michael Waltrip (2001 and 2003), Ward Burton (2002), Dale Earnhardt (1998), Sterling Marlin (1994), Dale Jarrett (1993), Derrike Cope (1990) and Richard Petty (1979).

Chevrolet has won this race 19 times, including last year with Kevin Harvick, while Ford has posted seven wins in this event. Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac have two wins each.

Last season, Harvick overcame flu-like conditions earlier in the week to capture this event for the second consecutive year. The race concluded in a wild overtime finish. Michael Waltrip's crash late in the race set up a green- white-checkered finish. During the caution, Greg Biffle and Kasey Kahne were the only drivers in the field that opted not to pit.

Biffle led the field for the final two-lap restart, but lost the lead on the backstretch after Kahne pushed Harvick to the front. Jeff Gordon then rammed into the back of Biffle heading into turn three, causing the Roush Fenway Racing driver to spin and then collect his teammates Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards, as well as Bobby Labonte, Ryan Newman and Mark Martin. Harvick held the lead when NASCAR displayed the yellow flag to end the race. Kahne placed second under the caution. In all, Harvick led five times for 21 laps, while pole sitter Carl Edwards, who placed 17th, led twice for 42 laps.

When Harvick won in 2009, he defeated Jamie McMurray under the caution. Harvick started from the 27th position, the furthest any driver has started at this race and won. Earnhardt Jr, who placed 18th, led four times for a race- high 23 laps, while McMurray led for 16 laps. Pole sitter Paul Menard placed 12th.

In 2006, Tony Stewart became a three-time winner of this event, as he raced to victory over David Gilliland under caution. Starting from the 14th position, Stewart reclaimed the lead on lap 63 and held on for the win. Stewart led twice for a total of 11 laps, while Kyle Busch, who placed seventh, led three times for 39 laps.

Bill Elliott has appeared in 23 Budweiser Shootouts, while Mark Martin has raced in 23 overall. Only five drivers have won this race in their first appearance: Buddy Baker (1979), Dale Earnhardt (1980), Jeff Gordon (1994), Dale Jarrett(1996) and Denny Hamlin (2006). There are seven multiple winners of this race led by Dale Earnhardt with six. Dale Jarrett and Tony Stewart are three-time champions, while Jeff Gordon, Neil Bonnett, Ken Schrader, Dale Earnhardt Jr and Harvick have won it twice.

The 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points season kicks off with the 53rd running of the Daytona 500 on February 20. Jamie McMurray is the defending race champion.
