Two-car drafting pairs are out, but multi-car pileups are back at Daytona: that’s the message of the 2012 NASCAR Budweiser Shootout, the first race of the season for North America’s biggest racing series.
“Wild Thing” Kyle Busch survived wrecks and near-wrecks to push his battered Toyota past Tony Stewart’s Chevrolet at the finish line to win the Shootout by the smallest margin—.013 seconds— in history.
“Amazing race,” Busch told FOX Sports. “How many times did I spin out but I didn’t spin out?
“The M&Ms Camry was fast and fun to drive when I wasn’t getting turned around—tough race but a fun race.
“Glad to see the pack back, making it interesting for us drivers. Hopefully it was great for the fans as much as it was for us drivers.
