Harvick Farewell with Anheuser-Busch: Kevin Harvick’s historic NASCAR Cup Series career is coming to an end. A memorial fitting of his memory is needed for this important event. As a tribute to this racing star’s famous career, Anheuser-Busch will raise a glass to him.
Anheuser-Busch, the dedicated partner of the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing driver, will be the primary sponsor for the 4EVER 400 Presented by Mobil 1 this Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The event will be shown live on NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, and the NBC Sports app at 2:30 p.m. ET.
The well-known drink will again be a part of Harvick’s racing theme. It was on the sides of his No. 4 car in 2014, when it helped him win the Cup title. The bright red and white will give Harvick’s livery a new look and remind him of the night he won the title at the fancy 1.5-mile Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Budweiser is Anheuser-Busch’s most famous beer brand, and AB loved Busch Light. The creative people at SHR planned a treat for Harvick as a kind of friendship. He has had a long-lasting bond with the racetrack in South Florida for almost fifteen years, so they gave him the retro Budweiser paint job and fire outfit.
Matt Davis, Anheuser-Busch’s wise vice president of partnerships, says that Kevin Harvick has been a great example of a partner and a crucial part of our sports portfolio since the start of our relationship in 2011. Because we work with Kevin, we can easily connect with NASCAR fans nationwide, giving them the best access to the sport. We appreciate Kevin, his loyal fans, and his long and successful career in asphalt painting, as shown by this surprise paint job.
At the All-Star Race weekend in North Wilkesboro, Harvick, known for his speedway skills, sported a paint job from 2014 to commemorate his Cup Series triumph. He said on his journey, “I think the best race was Homestead in 2014, just because of how everything went, the great call, the race at the end, and everything that happened when I joined Stewart-Haas Racing that first year.” That race is one I would circle because of everything that transpired, how it all came together, and the title. This is due to our early-year issues, quick cars, and one-day title win.
