Chrud Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Re: Ultimate Nascar Bet...Miller vs Bud, CHECK IT OUT! That is pretty cool. I think they should have done the first 26 races. Just like the Championship, the Chase could really fudge the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Re: Ultimate Nascar Bet...Miller vs Bud, CHECK IT OUT! I guess I see Junior's/Bud's reasoning for turning it down. Makes sense to me. It would be quite a distraction... _______________ Don't laugh. It could have happened. Busch's Miller Lite sponsor extended a bet to Earnhardt's Budweiser team Friday, offering a friendly wager on the outcome of this season's Nextel Cup series standings. "This is joke, right? I'm focused on the season and winning races, so I'm not interested in a stunt like this," Junior said. "I'm the Bud guy and this deal is something dreamed up by the guys in Milwaukee to create something out of nothing." Miller's chief marketing officer Tom Long sent a letter to Anheuser-Busch vice president of brand management Marlene Coulis, proposing a deal in which the driver who finished lower in the points race in 2006 would drive the other car's paint scheme in a 2007 race. Two Budweiser cars at Martinsville? Two Miller Lite entries at New Hampshire? Earnhardt and Busch in a season-long battle that could be comparable to racing for pink slips? Busch, the 2004 series champion, was in favor of the deal from the start, saying it would create more excitement and give his entire team more incentive to win. As intriguing as the thought might be, it won't happen - at least not this year. Earnhardt and Anheuser-Busch declined the beer bet without much debate.

James7xChamp3 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Re: Ultimate Nascar Bet...Miller vs Bud, CHECK IT OUT! I really don't think Junior needs any more attention. How he can focus on racing now is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowhntr Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Re: Ultimate Nascar Bet...Miller vs Bud, CHECK IT OUT! Too many variables. Would they reset for the chase, would it be all 36 races combined point total, would it just be the first 26 races. I'm glad Jr and Bud told them no. It's just a stunt to put Rubberhead back in the spotlight after last season's drunk driving and police disrespect deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Re: Ultimate Nascar Bet...Miller vs Bud, CHECK IT OUT! Publicity stunt at best! I'm sure Miller hoped it wouldn't fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
