In all honesty — and with apologies to Shakespeare — the Bud Shootout is purely an exhibition race, full of sound and fury, perhaps, but not really signifying much of anything, except a plethora of one-off paint schemes and a chance for drivers to get a little extra drafting practice.
Only five times in the 26 year-history of the Shootout, known from 1979-1998 as the Busch Clash, has the winner of the pre-season event gone on to victory in the Daytona 500: Bobby Allison (1982), Bill Elliott (1987) Dale Jarrett (1996 and 2000) and Jeff Gordon (1997).
Twelve gained eligibility based on winning a Bud Pole award in 2004 while the others are eligible because they are past winners of the Busch Clash/Budweiser Shootout but did not win a Bud Pole award in 2004 and finished in the top-60 in final NASCAR Nextel Cup Series point standings.
