# Harvick wins the 2009 Budweiser Shootout: #29-Kevin Harvick only led one lap, but it was the last lap in a wild Budweiser Shootout win. Harvick started 23rd and spent most of the race in the back avoiding wrecks. A late race wreck between #16-Biffle and #12-Stremme set up a two-lap green-white-checkered finish. #26-McMurray led the race going into the GWC with Harvick 4th. On the final lap #48-Johnson, #11-Hamlin and #07-Mears were involved in a wreck just as Harvick took the lead, freezing the field. McMurray finished second followed by #14-Stewart, #24-Gordon and #44-Allmendinger. #88-Earnhardt Jr. got caught in a wreck late and finished 18th after leading the most laps with 24. Pole sitter #98-Menard led two laps but was never a factor and limped home to a 11th place finish. There were 8 cautions for 23 laps and 14 drivers lead laps with 23 lead changes.(2-7-2009)
