Tell that to France and company.

I expect the Bud to begin handing out RV flags in the infield at the races next year .. free advertising with every TV shot of the infield .. lots cheaper than a commercial

I'd suspect that Bud is in just about every sport in some type of media. I also believe that Kasey won't have the same impact as Jr has had. Therefore I see their sponsorship in NASCAR at a lower financial level

Since Coors is going to become the official beer of NASCAR I have painted the GTG NASCAR Forum trailer to coincide with the changes.

Hope you enjoy. Dustin ... your chair is in the same place. No changes there.

So happy to be able to help

Well it's official. Coors is the official beer of NA$CAR as of 2008. 20 mil for 5 years.

Ah yes. Colorado Kool-Aid; the beer for those who don't especially care for beer.

I, for one, see a very real problem with this decision. It smacks of the same sort of deal NASCAR worked out with Gillette shavers. It takes a corporation who wants to be involved with NASCAR and instead of it funneling it's $20 million/yr to a team who could really use that money to become more competitive (OK, maybe "become more competitive" isn't a good choice of words; how about "stay in business?"), NASCAR siphons off the money for its own coffers.

Sorry. Once more, I am only one person, but this "one person" thinks the entire concept of "The Official [insert product] of NASCAR" stinks! Somehow I bet Front Row Racing, BAM Racing or Robby Gordon Racing could have found a better use for that $20 million/yr than Brian France & Co. can.

But then, I could be very, very wrong...

Could have been worse Bob. It could have been Tampax or ****** Series ...
if the price was right.

So look on the half full side of the glass, it's easier that way.

Molson Coors, SABMiller Combine U.S. Operations:
The makers of Coors and Miller Lite plan to combine their U.S. brewing operations in an effort to compete better against industry leader Anheuser-Busch. The joint venture announced Tuesday will be known as MillerCoors and will have responsibility for selling brands including Miller Lite, Miller Genuine Draft, Coors, Coors Light and Molson Canadian in the U.S. Anheuser-Busch Cos. accounts for about half of the U.S. market with brands such as Budweiser, Michelob and Bud Light. SABMiller PLC will have a 58% economic interest in the venture and MolsonCoors Brewing Co. will own 42% of the new company. They will have equal voting interests, however. The joint venture will also result in cost savings of $500 million, the companies said. That savings will mainly come from reducing shipping distances, finding economies of scale in brewing operations, optimizing production and eliminating duplicate corporate and marketing services. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies said they will conduct all of their U.S. business exclusively through the venture. The companies said by combining their U.S. operations, the venture will be able to invest more in marketing its brands to consumers and compete more effectively with larger brewers like Anheuser-Busch and InBev NV S.A., which imports a large number of global beers into the U.S. and is the world's largest brewer by volume.(AP/Yahoo Biz), no word how or if this will effect the sponsorship of the #2 Pensek Racing Dodge of Kurt Busch, Coor's Light was just announced as the official beer of NASCAR and will not sponsor a team in 2008.(10-9-2007)
