Back To Back Shootout Wins For Harvick


Kevin Harvick opened up the 2010 NASCAR season with a 2nd straight win in the Budweiser Shootout.



Bob Douce Is Your Budweiser Shootout Winner!

Lucky Dog Racing kicked off its 7th season with the running of the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona Intl. Speedway. Taking the victory was Kevin Harvick for the 2nd time in NASCAR, but it was Bob Douce winning his first in Lucky Dog Racing. Bob only has one Cup series victory, the Subway 500 in Martinsville back in October 2007. Although this win doesn't count as a points win, it's still a great way to get things started.

Bob nearly won the Championship last season, losing out by just 8 points and finishing 2nd. He's making a statement for the season by showing everyone that he's ready to contend again. His team, Northeast Ohio Motorsports also are making a statement with three of them finishing in the top 11.

Bob scored 360 points with his picks of race winner Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. He took the win by 5 points over Randy Cook who finished in 2nd with 355 points. Bob Baldridge, Jr. took 3rd followed by Harry Jeffery in 4th and Gary Wheat 5th.

Now with the Shootout behind us its time to fully focus on the Daytona 500. The picks form is up so you may submit your picks at any time now. All picks must be received by the start of the Gatorade Duels at Thursday, Feb. 11th at 2:00pm EST.





The Power Gauge:
Final Standings

Jordan Hunt - 2009 Champion
It was many weeks ago that we knew Jordan Hunt would be winning the Heatseek award. With the conclusion of the season, we can now say that Jordan Hunt is the Power Gauge Champion. Throughout the season. Jordan remained the hottest player after amassing the most points on the gauge. Even though he led just one week, you could usually find him somewhere in the top 5 or top 10 each week.

This is the 2nd time in Jordan's career that he won this award. In 2007, Jordan went on to win the heatseeker and Cup Championship in the same year. That year he recorded a total of 5,818 points. He didn't nearly match that amount this year, but the 5,584 points were 121 more points than 2nd place.

Jordan's future teammate, Kevin Sullivan, finished in 2nd place. He spent three weeks on top and was a huge improvement over last year when he finished in 27th place. You can definately say that Kevin is the most improved player in 2009. With a new team on the horizon, Kevin's future looks very bright.

Bob Douce will also be Kevin's teammate next year as well and ends up in third place. Bob led the final three weeks of the season and finished on a very high note. He came within a hair of winning the championship and is going to be a serious threat next year as always.

Although she fell off in the chase, Sue Perna had a very strong regular season. Strong enough that she finished in 4th place. Sue is also much more improved after finishing 20th last year. Sue was tied with Larry Scroggins with leading the most weeks. She and Larry both led 4 straight weeks.

Rounding out the top 5 is Gary Wheat. Gary spent three weeks on top and could usually be found close to one of his teammates. All three of Northeast Ohio Motorsports end up in the top 5 and gave Racing Traditions, Inc. a run for their money.

Two RTI members took the next two spots in the top 10, the 2009 Cup Champion Dean Higley in 6th followed by Nathan Helton in 7th. Lou Demian took 8th, Harry Jeffery 9th and John Sherman rounded out the top 10 in 10th.

So congratulations to Jordan on a great season. He'll now receive another award on his team page.
