NASCAR: 06 February, 2009 Sprint Cup Series - Budweiser ShootoutApologies for not getting this to you quicker. The Baltimore area was blanketed with 30+ inches of snow which lead to power outages and loss of cable and internet service

Not even the flu or lack of practice time could stop Kevin Harvick from reaching victory lane for the second straight year in the Budweiser Shootout. On a green-white-checkered finish, Harvick took the lead on the final lap after a push from Jeff Gordon caused Greg Biffle to spin in turn three, causing a multi-car wreck that included Biffle’s teammates Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth.

The early stages of the race saw minimal changes in the front, as Jamie McMurrary wrestled the lead from pole sitter Carl Edwards, but Edwards would regain the lead. He lead the race for 42 of the first 43 laps. On lap 32, contact from Mark Martin sent Kyle Busch into the wall and tore up his Toyota.

Here are the final results from the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona:
