Saturday night, NASCAR season unofficially got underway with the Bud Shootout, pitting the best in NASCAR against one another in a 75-lap sprint for checkers, and a big ol’ check besides. And while Carl Edwards dominated early, it was Kevin Harvick, who’d been ridden with the flu earlier in the week, who hung on for the win:
It’s the second Bud Shootout win in a row for Harvick. Last year, he followed up his preseason with, uh … the most disappointing season of his career. Shoot. Well, here’s hoping history doesn’t repeat itself any longer.
