x = were locked in via the Chase

(A) - Chip Ganassi Racing and DEI merged and will run Chevy, the #42 falls out and the #41 [was 7th] is out, next up would has been #7-Robby Gordon, but he switched to Toyota [but supposedly he will run a Dodge for this event], so he is out and the #10-Gillette Evernham Dodge moves in, Reed Sorenson is scheduled to drive that car.

(B) - Robby Gordon is switching to Toyota for 2009, but supposedly he will run a Dodge for the Shootout and run the race, if he doesn't run a Dodge then he would NOT get into the race per the above note (A) unless he stayed in a Dodge, so that and Earnhardt - Ganassi running Chevy, would move the #10 Dodge of GEM into the race

(C) - supposedly the #98 will get the #38 owners points, which would move him into the wildcard spot for Ford

(D) - gets the wildcard as a past champion, a new rule added in January 2009

(E) - looks like the team does not plan to run any races in 2009, so the #82 team would move up

(F) - Penske bought the #22 team and Bill Davis is listed as an minority owner, moving the #77 up to 31st in owners pts, BUT NASCAR said the #77 will not be moved in to the Bud Shootout
