--The Sprint Unlimited is Nascar's version of the Pro Bowl--people get excited for it, but we don't know why.
--This year's format was voted on by fans, and will feature a 30 lap first segment, 25 lap second segment, and 20 lap final segment. Personally I'd like to request a recount.
--The starting lineup will be voted on by fans in attendance. My money's on "Its too freaking cold out here".
--19 cars are entered in tonight's race. Here's hoping that "Front Row" Joe Nemechek will be able to drive the pace car, then pull it in to the garage--just like in points racing.
--This race was previously known as the Budweiser Shootout. Before that, the Bud Shootout. Before that, the Busch Clash. And before that, Uncle Billy's Racing & Waffles.
