NASCAR announced the 2013 Shootout will return to its roots! Next season's race will now consist of 2012 Coors Light Pole winners and previous Shootout winners. Which means winning the Coors Light Pole each weekend becomes that much more important!

It's about time!

Now it will be fun to watch qualifying.

 

[vracer]

will it be the coors shootout now?

 

[Danicafan]

Yeah, I agree its good to be back the way it was. Just for information, there were 18 different pole winners last year.

 

[Rowdy124]

will it be the coors shootout now?

Either that, or they just won't mention "Coors Light" during the brodcast.

EDIT: It appears it may not be the Bud Shootout anymore, they just refer to it as the "Shootout".

 

[Jman54]

watch there only be like, 10 different pole winners...lol.. and if a crash happens, there will be like 2 cars racing for 50 laps lol

I wish they would shorten it, or change the format, or something. How can you call it a 'shootout' when it is almost as long as the Nationwide race?

 

[Pier39er]

Now the Shootout is something to not be a crapshoot

 

[Avi24]

Good move. Even if the racing has changed at Daytona the format should have never changed from pole winners.

NASCAR is finally realizing that the old ways should be the way to go.

I have a feeling this has to do with Budweiser not signing back on as the race's sponsor. That has been the biggest reason why they switched formats, not because they though it wasn't good enough.


Hopefully there are a lot of pole winners this year.

Congrats Carl...your in!

GOOD! I haven't watched a 'Shootout' since they went with the new ridiculous format. Now that it's going back to the way it should be, I may just watch now.

 

[JerryLH3]

I'm glad they went back to the old format. It's the way it always should have stayed. But, 75 laps at Daytona is not a shootout. I agree it should be shortened.
