Budweiser to Force???

[mick]

IMO you'll never see a miller lite car in nhra pro category anytime soon, nor a bud light or probably even coors light.
these brands do not need any help selling.....seems like nhra has turned into an economical motorsports adv't. source
to either introduce a brand or help prop up a brand. if AB/In Bev return to nhra, i would expect to see bud and maybe busch brands,
they both need help in american sales; and i would not expect to see anymore long term beer sponsorships as was KB's deal or
even all the years miller lite was present with various teams; if dixon/miller lite had value, i think you'd have seen larry sign
with them a couple years ago already......didn't happen.
look at the series sponsor 'mello yello'; that alone should be a clue as to what nhra has to offer; i am happy that coca-cola at
least sees it as such and continues to make the commitment to nhra to prop up or re-introduce some of their lesser brands.

Id like 2 c a natural lite or pabst blue ribbon car brings bac college days culd buy a case of PBR for $4.99 i learned
2 like it !!! LOL

Why such a crazy idea? John is (or, at least, WAS) known to enjoy a Bud from time-to-time.

He's in awfully good shape since his accident but, I don't know if he still might enjoy a brew.

Drink responsibly....at least THAT'S still legal.

 

[Toejam]

force will sell his soul for a big sponsor come on get real !!!!!

Is there any driver that would turn down $3 mil. Per year from a sponsor out of conviction?

Yes, based on his testimony, I couldn't see Edwards driving for beer or penthouse.

Yea: and only If it on a Dodge Charger

 

[glofria]

Just like Mello Yellow is to Coke, what if it's a sub-brand of Budweiser?

John in the "Lime-A-Rita" car and Brittney in the "Strawbeer-Rita" car.

What is not classy about Budweiser? Does that mean Kenny Bernstein wasn't classy for 30 years? Does that mean it wasn't classy to win the "Big Bud Shootouts" for Top Fuel or Funny Car? Was it not classy for Bud to be the official beer of NHRA for decades?

Would make sense . Pretty sure 66 year olds drink beer as do 20-somethings like his daughter, if that's the 2 car team. And if NHRA is the place to launch or rekindle brands because it's a good deal, that's not horrible. NHRA just has to do the best it can to keep costs from climbing, and it can remain a good venue to achieve those goals. NASCAR created a bubble, and I don't see a huge basket of companies that can support $30+MIL annual budgets anymore.

BIG difference in a beer company and a porno mag. Don't see Mike Edwards doing either however.

 

[Leebone]

That's strange of them, didn't think rocket cars used motor oil?

From what I read, they're using an F1 engine to drive the oxidiser pump for the rocket, whatever that means. I ain't no rocket scientist. LOL

 

[Speed1288]

Give John the traditional budweiser colors and Brittney the lime/strawbeeritta car, girls my age (25) love those things. They're pretty good actually but will give you a helluva hangover.

 

[vegasnitro]

As an aside, hasn't he said something along the lines of heading for the mountains, Busch is a Budweiser product ...

 

[Ugly one]

I didn't say that Jim. I just don't see JFR plugging drinking Beer in every interview they give.

if the money spends he'll plug it to death

Im 54 and I sure don't see a whole lot of advertising that is aimed at my age group, except maybe the Sex enhancement stuff...lol. Im willing to bet the opportunity the sponsor the 20 something Force girls is luring them more than John is!

I don't think it's strange at all, actually. Whether or not it uses the product, projects like this get MAJOR exposure. Everybody and their brother will have their eyes on this thing when it comes time to drop the hammer.

Hope it is true.....Bud would be a good sponsor for any racer

 

[none]

Like the guy that did the "RED BULL" freefall a while back..........

He has and maybe the brand is wrong. Coors?

 

[robslob]

Busch Light out sells ALL brands here in farm boy country. Go up the road 30 miles and it's like"Whaaaat,No sir,we don't carry that brand here."
Anyway, I'm all for just about any big dollar sponsorship...
