2015 Sprint Unlimited Winner - Matt Kenseth survives wild race to win Sprint Unlimited
Matt Kenseth won the Sprint Unlimited Saturday night, more than half the field of the original 25 had dropped out of the lead lap in the contentious battle of bumper cars.
It had been a short 13 weeks from the time Kevin Harvick celebrated his Sprint Cup title, and it’s obvious that everybody was ready to mix it up.
Kenseth, who drives for Joe Gibbs Racing, was able to hold off Martin Truex Jr. in the last laps. But Truex Jr. never made a serious run, especially with Carl Edwards in no mood to give him an aerodynamic push.
Kenseth starts the season with a nice jump-start after a winless 2014.
2014 Sprint Unlimited Winner - Denny Hamlin wins crash-marred Sprint Unlimited at Daytona
After missing four races and struggling for most of the 2013 season with a back injury, Hamlin faces a lot of questions entering 2014. He started answering those questions by winning a thrilling victory to kick off the new year.
With a broken bone in his back causing him pain, Hamlin suffered through a miserable season last year. He won the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, however, and came out with guns ablazing Saturday night.
Hamlin made a daring three-wide move for the lead with two laps to go and then helf off Brad Keselowski and Busch to win a race that was marred by a big crash that took out nearly half the field.
2013 Sprint Unlimited Winner - It only took 15 laps for a demolition derby to begin in Saturday night's Sprint Unlimited
NASCAR's season-opening Sprint Unlimited exhibition race went to Kevin Harvick on Saturday night, the third time he's won the race formerly known as the Shootout in the last five years. Harvick is leaving RCR for Stewart-Haas Racing after this season.
It was a special night for Harvick, who killed his engine trying to do a burnout and had to be pushed to Victory Lane. His son Keelan, who sat in his father's car and left a shoe in it before the race, performed his first forward crawl.
Confident his team will be able to stay together in a potentially awkward situation, Harvick said the group is "going to have a helluva lot of fun racing, having a good time, doing our jobs.
Crew chief Gil Martin, buoyed by the exhibition victory and a promising start to the new season, vowed to do "whatever it takes" to win the championship this season.
2012 Budweiser Shootout Winner - More Carnage Than Competition
Saturday's latest version of NASCAR's special event at Daytona International Speedway was just that - 'special' - as millions of dollars in prime racing equipment was turned into scrap metal.
In all, 18 of the 25 starters were mangled in a quartet of wrecks that literally had drivers 'upside down with their hair on fire.' We don't mean to make light of this stuff - there's nothing funny about seeing cars occupied by humans careening out of control, on fire and slamming into walls at nearly 200 miles an hour.
Half of the field in Saturday's race - 12 of the 25 cars entered - did not finish the event. While there is no official count, it's almost a certainty that none of those cars will ever race again. That means that several team owners had to swallow at least $150,000 worth of twisted metal Saturday night.
2011 Budweiser Shootout at Daytona Results
NASCAR's dress rehearsal for the Daytona 500 was an interesting display of dancing in the dark.
Kurt Busch won the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway compliments of his "teammate for the day" Jamie McMurray on Saturday night.
McMurray, the defending Daytona 500 winner, knew the race would come down to picking a dancing partner. With his teammate Juan Pablo Montoya eliminated from the race in an eight-car pile-up on Lap 28, McMurray opted to pair up with Busch — a friend off the track and someone he felt he could trust.
The final pass, though, was ruled illegal as Denny Hamlin was disqualified for going below the out-of-bounds line.
It made Busch, who actually crossed the finish line in second place, the first Dodge driver to win the non-points race that has opened Speedweeks for the last 33 years.
