Along with this:

The lineup
The following is a list of cars eligible for the 2009 Budweiser Shootout. The list is based on 2008 owner points and specifies 2008 team affiliations. Since some of these car numbers may be inactive in 2009, the actual starting field may include cars ranked lower than those in this list. NASCAR also may allow the transfer of owner points from inactive cars on this list to cars not otherwise eligible for the Shootout.

This is what a member of my other group just said:

"Just confirmed in sirius speedway, robby will be in shootout in a dodge car, done with blessing of both dodge and toyota"

Its not like Dodge really had anyone behind him to move up....

There is always the 77 to move up. I am sure Penske would have liked that.
