Smashing Debut At Daytona
February 7 - - Kevin Harvick won the Budweiser Shootout for the second straight
year under the lights at Daytona International Speedway. Harvick claimed the win under caution after a wreck with two laps to go.
Jeff Gordon finished 6th after a wild conclusion where he tried to push Greg Biffle entering turn three while in 4th place.
Biffle appeared to slow on the backstretch with a possible tire issue. After contact from Gordon, Biffle spun
and collected eight cars in the melee -- including Gordon.

Gordon Eyes Ohio Track
January 29 - - While the Canadian Motor Speedway plan waits further
approval, Jeff Gordon has turned his track design attention to Columbus, Ohio. Jeff Gordon Inc. is part of the design
team hoping to bring a 1/2-mile oval, automotive education/research center, and retail complex to the Cooper
Stadium site. Ideas for a racetrack were brought in 2008, but noise concerns -- and an economic downturn -- hindered
those efforts. Last week, Gordon's stepfather, John Bickford, was dispatched to Ohio for a presentation on the project.
