Defending Budweiser Shootout champion Tony Schumacher offered his prediction on which driver will pull the wild card No. 8 starting spot during the Budweiser Shootout Draw Party, Oct. 26 at “The Joint” at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

“I'll say there's a 99.4 percent chance J.R. Todd will pull the No. 8 spot with the way our luck has been going,” said Schumacher, who has lost to rookie driver Todd in two final rounds and in the second round at Reading. The driver that pulls the wild card starting spot will face Schumacher in the first round of the Budweiser Shootout, Oct. 28 at The Strip at LVMS
