Who should Bud sponsor?


Recommended Posts

It was announced today that Bud will not be going to HMS due to existing sponsorship agreements and conflicts.

So, who would you like to see (or think it will be) as the team/driver for the red Bud car?

I see Kyle Busch driving the red #8 Bud car for DEI. I don't think Evernham is a good fit unless Bud wants to change it's image to a more refined crowd.

Like I said in another post, if Bud is making an announcement today, no way are they announcing they are staying at DEI as DEI has not even hired a driver to replace Jr. yet, and Bud wants to sponsor a high profile driver.

No suprise with the Hendrick release this morning. I read where the new sponsor for Jr. at Hendrick next year (likely Pepsi / Mountain Dew) will be for approx. $25 - $30 million dollars!!!!

I am betting that Bud goes to Evernham to sponsor Kasey Kahne's ride. UNLESS....if before Bud makes their announcement, DEI announces they have hired Kyle Busch or Bud / DEI make the announcement together. Although, no rumors of that happening. It's gotta be Bud / Kahne, right??? confused.gif

Maybe Bud is going with Waltrip racing? They would have a great line of commercials with Mikey drowning all his sorrows with ice cold Bud!grin.gif

Hmmm...maybe I'm way off base by sticking with this Evernham rumor....this just off jayski...

*****UPDATE: Evernham Motorsports owner Ray Evernham says reports that he is close to signing a deal with Budweiser for next season are unfounded. Published reports this week have linked Budweiser with Evernham driver #9-Kasey Kahne for the 2008 season, and while Evernham confirmed that conversations have taken place, he said there is no truth to rumors that he will announce the new deal next week. "We have talked to Budweiser, but they have also spoken to five or six other teams in the Nextel Cup garage," he said.(Motorsports Soapbox).(7-13-2007)*****

so why wouldnt bud go to hendrick??


We have agreements in place with sponsors for the 2008 Sprint Cup season, which prevent us from having a relationship with Budweiser," said team owner Rick Hendrick.

Read into that what you want. You guys that haven't been around forever don't know that Bud used to sponsor the 25 Hendrick car before they left to go to DEI.

Ya and they didn't necessarily part under the best of terms as I understand it.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
