The 2009 Budweiser Shootout was the first of two stock car races of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and the 31st annual edition of the event. It was held on February 7, 2009, in Daytona Beach, Florida, at Daytona International Speedway, a superspeedway that holds NASCAR races. The standard track at Daytona International Speedway is a four-turn 2.5 mi superspeedway. The track's turns are banked at 31, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, is banked at 18 degrees.

The race consisted of two 25-lap (62.5-mile) races, the Bud Shootout Qualifier at 11 am, and the Bud Shootout itself at 12 pm. One two-tire pit stop was required for each race. The winner of the qualifier advanced to the main event.
