Who should Bud sponsor?

[JohnMickish]

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.

Bud and Kahne would have all the 40 something women switching their drink of choice.

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???

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!

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)*****

I'd like to see the Biff and Bud at DEI. Most likely a pipedream. For some reason I don't see Kahne/Evernham and Bud as a good fit, but what do I know...

[JohnMickish]

Biffle has a contract and a sponsor for next year but I agree they would be a good fit.

[jbell1981]

I have no idea who it will be. I don't think Kahne is a good fit though. I think Newman or Truex would be agood fit, but doubt Bud will end up with either of them.

Is there any young guy's in the stable at DEI that could fit the bill?

That way they could keep the 8 and Bud.

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.
