Bud Shootout Update

Ryan, Ryan, Ryan.

They made their pit stops a few laps ago and Newman decided on only changing 2 tires, while the rest of the field changed four tires.

Yes, Ryan did have a 3-second lead, but you have to understand at tracks like Daytona, leads are not going to last like that when the only way to go fast is through a technique called "drafting."

After Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle, and Kurt Busch caught Newman, they blew right by him. But careful driving by Newman got him back in line with the lead draft and he got a push from Dale Earnhardt Jr.

8 laps to go -- Newman's in 5th. This is getting crazy now, cars are beating and banging on each other -- all at 190 mph.
