The car of Kevin Harvick was so tight it would not turn at about 100 miles per hour. After inspecting the car, it was determined that the cause was the engine rubbing against the tires, but Harvick did not go to a backup car. Bobby Labonte and Greg Biffle both spun off turn 4 at one point in practice, but both cars suffered minor to no damage. Race recap Bobby Allison, a NASCAR Cup Series driver who drove in the formative years in NASCAR, became the honorary starter for this race. He would give out the green flag and later surrendered his "duty" to the regular starter for the other flags. http://www.local8now.com/sports/moresports/headlines/41172337.html Nascar's Bobby Allison named Honorary Starter for Food City 500 WVLT-TV 2015-01-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304114310/http://www.local8now.com/sports/moresports/headlines/41172337.html 2016-03-04 dead The pundits predicted that Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch would be triumphant in the race while Mark Martin, Jamie McMurray, David Ragan and Brian Vickers didn't have much of a chance to finish the race in a respectable position. http://www.thespread.com/nascar-articles/032209-odds-to-win-2009-food-city-500-busch-edwards-and-gordon-favored-at-bristol Odds to Win 2009 Food City 500 – Busch, Edwards and Gordon Favored at Bristol The Spread 2015-01-27 Kyle Busch led 378 laps en route to his second victory of 2009.
