"It was just hard racing," Earnhardt said. "Kyle has his style of driving. Maybe I went at it as hard as he did; I don't know what I would have done. I took him out at Kansas during the Chase [last year], and that's really why I wouldn't be any more vocal or angry about it -- because I would have been hypocritical about it, in that sense."Dale Jr. goes on by saying, "We've both been on each side of it now between the two of us, and hopefully once him and I have a chance to talk about it, we can come to some kind of understanding to where we don't ever have to deal with it again, where we just go out and race and try to race each other with a little more respect and have a little better outcome." "I don't know what time he got here to get on the track [for testing], but hopefully we'll eith

Brad Thompson and three relievers combined to throw a seven-hit shutout as the Cardinals blanked the Rockies, 3-0, at Busch Stadium. Thompson went six and-two-thirds, giving up six of the seven hits and fanning six. He also drove in a run at the plate, while Troy Glaus went 2-for-3 with an RBI.

Well I wrote up a little piece last weekend about Ryan Newman’s season so far, so I decided to re-cap his teammates season through the first 5 races. Ryan Newman, his team and his fans should be pretty happy with his season so far. He is sitting 8th in the point’s standings -191 out of [...]

Anheuser-Busch is set to launch Sun Dog Amber Wheat as part of the company's seasonal beer line up.Sun Dog (5.3 percent alcohol by volume), brewed at the company's Fort Collins, Colo., brewery, is taking the place left vacant by Spring Heat Spiced Wheat, which is now year-round offering known as Shock Top Belgian White.

"Anheuser-Busch on Tuesday lashed out at Miller Brewing Company over a Miller Lite ad that playfully uses the Budweiser dalmation. “Keep up the bad work, Miller Beer,” thundered a full-page ad in the USA Today. The ad goes on to say that the ad has prompted A-B to give a donation to animal rescue groups. The ad -- in which a dalmation leaps from a Bud wagon into a Miller Lite delivery truck

A report in this morning's Wall Street Journal indicates that Attorneys General from a number of states have subpoenaed Anheuser-Busch and Miller Brewing, looking into how those companies market caffeinated alcohol drinks and whether they are targeting underage drinkers.Government lawyers from New York, Maine, Maryland, Arizona and Iowa are focused on the popularity of energy-style drinks with young people and whether claims are being made by the brewers about the power of the caffeinated drinks to fuel late night drinking.The U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved the labeling for the brands and took no action on an earlier request from the states to clamp down on the products. The Attorneys General are under pressure from anti-alcohol groups who claim these products are d

By Official ReleaseDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR has placed drivers Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch on probation for the first six races of the 2008 Sprint Cup Series season, a result of their on-track altercations Friday during practice for the Budweiser Shootout.Stewart, driver of the No. 20 Toyota and Busch, driver of the No. 2 Dodge, violated Section 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing; altercation with another competitor) of the NASCAR rule book.The probations start Wednesday, as practice begins for the season-opening Daytona 500.NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the drivers were disciplined solely for the on-track portion of their clash, when the drivers deliberately used their cars as battering rams."We will continue to keep a check on this sport and won't let it get out o

The NASCAR Nationwide Series, NASCAR’s second major racing series, which in some cases is also referred to as a stepping series to the Cup Series. For the past year or so, I have been thinking about this subject and in turn reading just what fans, writers, drivers and even owners comments on this subject and after going to Loudon, NH (NHIS) (like I do every year) to watch the Busch Series in action, I believe that there is no doubt that the series needs a new identity not only because Busch is gone as title sponsor and is replaced with Nationwide, but in general, its still too much like the Cup series.First, would be in naming of series, when you look at NASCAR’s other two major series, they both have that non-changeable names, for example, NASCAR’s elite series is the Cup Series and

Stock trading as well as stock investing point of view I think Anheuser-Busch Companies Inc looks quite promising. The fundamental story of this stock looks quite good. At current situation when heavy carnage is going on Wall Street, this stock seems more a like of defensive stock and holding this stock is quite profitable. It looks like there is very low downward risk and upward move looks quite

Ever visit Crozet, Va.? Have you heard of Starr Hill Brewery? No?Well some of the folks in St. Louis at Anheuser-Busch have. Earlier this week they announced a deal under which A-B will serve as the master distributor for Starr Hill's line of beers. Starr Hill has six employees and turns out 5,000 barrels of beer annually. Founded in 1999, the company now has what many craft brewers 10 times their size wish they had: access to a network of 600 wholesalers from coast to coast.What is behind A-B's decision to partner with such a small player? According to media reports about the deal, A-B wants to help Starr Hill build its brand in Virginia and then expand it from New York to Georgia during the next three to five years. If they have momentum behind the product it could go national at that point.With craft beer sales up 11 percent during 2007, A-B has been active launching its own line of brews aimed at the segment and in signing deals with craft brewers around the country, most focuse

NASCAR has approved Penske Racing's request to transfer the owner points from Kurt Busch to Sam Hornish Jr., a move that locks the three-time IndyCar Series champion into the first five races of next season. Hornish publicly thanked Busch for giving him the points at the Penske holiday party on Friday night. Bud Denker, senior vice president of Penske Corp., confirmed Saturday that the team would swap the points with NASCAR's approval. Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president of competition, said the sanctioning body had signed off on the transfer. "This would obviously help Sam as he prepares to run the first five races instead of prepares to qualify for the first five races," Denker said. "With a champion like Kurt Busch and the opportunity to utilize (the points), anyone would be foolish to not take care of the situation" Hornish, a former Indianapolis 500 winner, is leaving that series for NASCAR next season. But his No. 77 Dodge won't be one of the 35 cars locked

Adolf Busch (1891-1952)Nació en Siegen en 1891. Hijo de Wilhelm Busch, un famoso fabricante de violines de Westphalia, recibió de su padre la primera instrucción. Llegado a los once años fué estudiante en el Conservatorio de Colonia, bajo la dirección de Willy Hess. Su manejo del instrumento en aquella temprana edad atrajo considerable atención. Por espacio de seis años, 1912-18, Busch fué "líder" de la 'Konzertverein Orchestra de Viena, y renunció el puesto al ser nombrado Profesor Principal de Violín en la Hochschule de Berlín.En 1919 formó su propio cuarteto de cuerdas, y tanto como "lider" de este notable conjunto, como por solista, es Busch tan bien conocdo. En sus muchas giras realizadas por Europa, los conciertos dados por su cuarteto han llegado a ser los acontecimientos más populares en el mundo de la música.Destacaron sus interpretaciones como solista de los conciertos de Ludwig van Beethoven y Johannes Brahms, donde demostró su increíble técnica y maestr

Anheuser-Busch continues to expand its offering of non-beer products. The company is test marketing Purus Vodka in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Annapolis, Md.Purus is an 80-proof organic wheat vodka that is priced at $35 a bottle. The product is distilled under contract for A-B in Italy's Piedmonte region by Distilleria Sacchetto. A-B's Long Tail Libations unit is managing the introduction.

Jeff Burton has made a place in NASCAR history. He will forever be recorded as the last driver to win in the NASCAR Busch Series. Burton won the Ford 300 at the Homestead Miami Speedway as Anheuser Busch, the series sponsor of twenty six years bids farewell to the sport.

Clearly one of the marketing drivers this year for the folks at Anheuser-Busch has been to tell the world about how well beer and food goes together. And we're not just talking pizza and beer, although that still works. A-B has been on the road holding some beer pairing dinners and doing other work to get beer a place at the table in fine dining establishments. I was the guest at one of these events earlier this year at Blue in Charlotte. Now comes the release of "Great Food Great Beer: The Anheuser-Busch Cookbook."A-B worked with Sunset Publishing to create the cookbook, which has lavish food photography. Brent Wertz, executive chef at the Kingsmill Resort & Spa, and George Reisch, an A-B brewmaster, were involved in some of the recipe development and pairing suggestions in the cookbook."Great Beer Great Food" starts off with a history of A-B and some information on matching beer and food, proper beer glassware and a quick guide to beer styles. Because the book is from Anheuser-Busc

Jeff Burton wrapped up the Busch Series car owner's championship in style Saturday night, winning the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway to give Richard Childress his 11th NASCAR title. Burton, who shared the No. 29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet with Scott Wimmer this season, took control late in the race after a series of green flag pit stops and pulled away to the win while

AVONDALE, Ariz. (Nov. 11, 2007) ¿ Penske Racing led the Dodge contingent in Sunday's Checker Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway with Ryan Newman finishing fifth and Kurt Busch placing 12th. Sam Hornish Jr. took 30th in his NASCAR NEXTEL Cup debut.Newman's second straight top-five finish and his seventh this season moved him up one position in the point standings to 13th with one race remaining in the season. He is now 58 points ahead of the 14th-place Dale Earnhardt Jr.¿The Alltel Dodge was pretty good," said Newman, who led once for four laps after starting 13th in the 312-lap race on the 1-mile track. "We knew we were good enough to get track position with the disadvantage; with two tires or with fuel only, and that was OK. I wasn¿t mad about that, but I wish we just had that extra little speed so we could get on everyone else¿s strategy. You know, being able to take two tires when everybody takes two, or take four when they take four. We¿re getting closer to that

Clint Bowyer claimed his chief Busch order pole position of the year in qualifying for the Arizona Travel 200, the penultimate lineage of the season, at Phoenix International Raceway. Bowyer will start from the best possible speck to prove to repeat his April victory at the individual-mile oval, after setting a spell of 27.077 seconds at an average speed of 132.954 mph, driving the No. (Read the full post about ‘NASCAR: Bowyer takes Busch pole at Phoenix’…)

Carl Edwards only needed to finish at least 36th to take the NASCAR Busch Series championship. He won his first Busch Series title finishing 11th at Texas Motor Speedway Saturday. “It’s really amazing to be a Busch Series champion,” he said.  “I can’t tell you how exciting that is and what it means to me.” He has won four times season.

Here's the scene, a group of young teenagers (are there any other kind)? attended a Cardinals game a few years back and, like, one of the teens decided to pull a prank on a classmate by requesting a certain message be splashed up on the video board for all to see. The message read like this: (A.B.) has an STD! Eww!The 'A.B.' is in place to respect the identity of the girl because, seriously, she would never get banged now by anyone who was NOT at the game to see her full diseased name in all its glory.Now c'mon...we've all had sexually transmitted diseases...err, uh...rather we've all been goofy teenagers and administered our fair share of cruel pranks. But the girl in question has just now decided to file a lawsuit.The suit, filed Wednesday in St. Louis Circuit Court, claims that the “shame and humiliation” she suffered forced her to stay out of school, take her final exams in a separate office, and seek psychological counseling. Almost all of her friends were at the game, t

Kevin Harvick returned to his Richard Childress Racing ride to claim his sixth win of the season in the OReilly Challenge at the Texas Motor Speedway. Harvick, the two time series champion is no stranger to victory lane at TMS, this marked his fourth win at the one and a half mile facility. The victory, Harvick thirty-second in the series moved him into sole position of second on the all time win list surpassing Jack Ingram and leaving him fifteen wins away from the all time leader Mark Martin.

WE went there last night to Howl-O-Scream and we had a blast! It was funny to see how sacred some people really are.  Most of the rides were working  and they were fun to do as always. We rode several roller coasters last night and we did a few haunted houses. I have a few pics to put up tomorrow.  It was well worth the money for it.  The park had over 24,000 people in it last night. I was really surprised about that and I was told that last weekend they had to close the park several times due to it being at max capacity which is 34,000 people!!!  Tonight is the last day it is opened for the season. At the end of the night, we rode the Loch Ness Monster 5 times!!    SO we will be going next year…   RMStringer +++++++++++++++++++ You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. (Oct. 19, 2007) Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman will start beside one another in Sunday's Subway 500 at Martinsville Speedway, as a result of the Penske Racing teammates earning the 11th and 12th starting positions, respectively, in Friday's rain-delayed qualifying session.Busch, who went out 40th in the 48-driver qualifying order, recorded a lap of 20.068 seconds, 94.359 mph, in his Miller Lite Dodge Avenger. Newman's Alltel Dodge Avenger followed Busch. The Indiana native posted a 20.072-second, 94.340-mph lap, just 0.004 second behind Busch and 0.134 second in arrears to pole winner Jeff Gordon.Sam Hornish Jr., who was attempting to make his NASCAR NEXTEL Cup debut in his Mobil 1 Dodge Avenger, was 38th quickest with a lap of 20.347 seconds, 93.065 mph. However, under NASCAR rules, he wasn't quick enough among those required to qualify on time to make it into the field. He was bumped from the grid by former Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton.The rain certainly didnt hel

Jeff Burton wins NASCAR Busch Series race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway last Friday night. Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished a distant second and third. “We had a really good car,” Burton said. “It got better as the night went on. These guys (on the Richard Childress Racing crew) just kept making the car better all day. And, give them credit. They changed the engine, oil lines, everything (Thursday night), and the car was just great.” There were 10 caution flags in the race and Burton said the final one, on lap 182, gave him the win.

First up is Nextel Cup: Is it a two-man race for the Nextel Cup going into Charlotte? This question was asked a couple of nights ago on NASCAR Now and I really think it deserves a classic answer, simply put NO way, its not just a two-man race (being last weekends Talladega winner Jeff Gordon leading by 9 points of his Hendrick teammate Jimmie Johnson.). There is still six races left in the chase, I will say that both Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson are had chargers right now and seem to be unbeatable at times, but I wouldn’t count out any driver in the top 6.At this time last season, Jimmie Johnson was a full race out of the lead by -156 points behind Jeff Burton going into Charlotte and we all know he won the championship by 56 points over second place Matt Kenseth. So really any driver that’s around 210 points back, still has a good shot at victory. Really all one of these drivers really need is six races of top 5’s and top 10 finishes. Don’t forget, one blown motor and anothe

TALLADEGA, Ala. - To say that Toyota teams dominated qualifying at Talladega Superspeedway Saturday would clearly be an understatement. Michael Waltrip won the pole with a lap of 189.070 mph in his Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota. Dave Blaney followed in his Bill Davis Racing Toyota. Toyota drivers took four of the top five spots. Team Red Bull driver and defending race winner Brian Vickers qualified third. Joe Nemechek (No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet), David Reutimann (No. 00 MWR), Jacques Villeneuve (No. 27 BDR Toyota), John Andretti (BAM Racing Dodge) and Dale Jarrett (MWR Toyota) all qualified in the top eight. Jarrett will start 43rd by virtue of being the last to qualify of the drivers who were outside the top 35 in owners points. Of course, that is partially due to the fact that the Toyota teams are all outside the top 35 in owners points and are forced to qualify based on speed for the UAW-Ford 500. Still, this session was an exercise in dominance. The top eight have not p

Mars U.S. on Wednesday announced a three-year partnership with M&M’s Brand Chocolate Candies as sponsor of the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing team and driver Kyle Busch in the Sprint Cup Series, beginning in 2008.

Nationwide is moving into the final stages of negotiations to replace Anheuser-Busch’s Busch beer as title sponsor of NASCAR’s #2 series, sources are telling Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Daily. Michael Smith of Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal this morning reported in the Daily that Nationwide submitted an offer last Thursday, as did Subway, the sandwich franchise operation that had been considered the frontrunner.Nationwide’s talks with NASCAR progressed over the weekend, the story said, and a contract proposal is believed to be in the legal pipeline at Nationwide. Officials at NASCAR say that it does not have a deal with a new sponsor, but sources say an agreement with Nationwide could be finalized in the coming days.

DOVER, Del. (Sept. 23, 2007) ¿ Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman were within 14 laps of producing top-five finishes in Sunday's Dodge Dealers 400 at Dover International Speedway when a right-front flat tire sent Busch careening into the backstretch's outside wall, triggering a 10-car melee that also involved Newman.Busch was running fourth and Newman fifth when the accident occurred. When Busch's Miller Lite Dodge Avenger smacked the outside wall, Newman cut his Alltel Dodge Avenger to the left in an attempt to avoid Busch, but Busch bounced off the wall and into Newman. With the field so tightly packed due to a restart just one lap earlier, the accident collected several top-10 cars, three of whom were hoping to make substantial gains in the Chase for the NEXTEL Cup in addition to Busch. "I don't know exactly what happened, but we must have had a right-front tire go down and something broke on the right-front suspension," said Busch, who is now 11th in the point standings, trailing lead

With two rounds in the Chase for the Nextel Cup Championship complete, I would have thought by this point (after two races…) the chase picture would have looked more spread out considering what happened last season at first race with the lap 3 wreck and most contenders falling or crashing out early, but that wasn’t the case at all and no one expected to see Clint Bowyer pickup his first career victory and in such dominating fashion. When you looked at the other chasers after New Hampshire, just about everyone had really good runs and nothing really changed expect for Bowyers position moved up to fourth in the points.However the opposite happened in Dover, I truly believe that that racetrack is the Monster Mile, it threw everything at the chase drivers including what some would say the kitchen sink, first the crash with Hamlin and Petty were Hamlin just looked like he ran over Petty and including the little fight sort of speck in the garage area, but the second thing, the huge crash

Denny Hamlin dominated the RoadLoans.com 200 at the Dover International Speedway to win his fifth NASCAR Busch series event of his career. Hamlin who started forth led the 200 mile event five times for a total of 138 laps took the lead for the final time as he passed New Jersey native Martin Truex Jr with fourteen circuits remaining.

Many lament the days when stock cars were actually based on production cars, rather than the new NASCAR Nextel Cup Car of Tomorrow vehicles that merely wear stickers bearing the headlights and grille of their production counterparts. While production-based stock cars will likely never happen again, word is that the NASCAR Busch Series will switch to cars based on the Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger and yet-to-be-determined model from Toyota as soon as the 2009 season. The world of NASCAR is divided into three series, which include the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, NASCAR Busch Series and NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. The Busch Series has had a bit of an identity crisis lately, though. Meant to be a stage for a up and coming drivers in NASCAR, seasoned vets have taken to racing in the Busch Series as well as the Nextel Cup and usually dominate the podium of the former. While switching to pony cars won't chase away the experienced drivers, it will give the Busch Series a new

According to the German magazine Euro am Sonntag, Anheuser-Busch Companies is in the midst of negotiations with the Czech government to buy Budejovicky Budvar. The two companies have had a long running series of legal battles in courtrooms around the globe over the Budweiser brand name. The magazine cited sources in the Czech Parliament.Czech Trade Minister Martin Riman has estimated the brewery could fetch $1.5 billion. Some officials and the Czech public have been critical of a potential sale of the brewery to foreign companies, especially Anheuser-Busch fearing that the Budvar brand could be eliminated. Besides Anheuser-Busch, several other companies have been rumored to be in the running for the brewery. Belgian mega brewer InBev, along with British firms Fuller, Smith and Turner and Young & Co., have all been reportedly interested in buying Budvar.

Kasey Kahne passed Ryan Newman with eight laps to go. And then he held off several charges from Jason Leffler to win the Busch Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday night. He’s second Busch win of the season was marred by a NASCAR scoring error against Kyle Busch that cost him a chance to run for the win.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (Aug. 25, 2007) Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman produced top-10 finishes Saturday night in the Sharpie 500 at the tough Bristol Motor Speedway, as they continued to fight for a position in the title chase.With two races remaining before the NASCAR Chase for the NEXTEL Cup begins, Busch maintains the 12th position with a 158-point advantage over the 13th-place Dale Earnhardt Jr. He also closed on the 10th- and 11th-place drivers with his sixth-place finish in his Miller Lite Dodge Avenger. Busch is now within eight points of the 11th-place Martin Truex Jr. and nine points of 10th-place Kevin Harvick."We knew that he [Earnhardt Jr.] finished right in front of us at the finish, but we didn't know at first that he'd sneaked in there and led a lap, too, like we did for the bonus points," said Busch, who possesses the final Chase eligible position. "We thought it'd turned out as a scratch and we were still 163 (points) ahead. But now they're telling me that we did lose five p

BRISTOL, Tenn. (Aug. 24, 2007) - Ryan Newman, driver of the No. 12 Alltel Dodge Charger, will start 11th in Friday night's Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway. This is only the second time Newman has started a Busch Series race at BMS from outside the top 10. He started 15th in August 2001."The car is good. These guys have worked really hard and I think we'll have a good shot at winning tonight," Newman said after posting a qualifying lap of 118.966 mph, 16.129 seconds, on the half-mile track. "We're out here to have fun and to win the race, so there's no pressure on us tonight. It's just a matter of having fun."Tonight's Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway will be broadcast live by ESPN2 and PRN radio beginning at 7:30 p.m. EDT.

Even though Ryan Newman and Kurt Busch appear to be battling for the final spot in the Chase For The Nextel Cup, the pair of Penske Racing drivers don't see each other as competition.   Instead, they say they are fighting a lot of other drivers for spots to get both of them in the 12-driver field that will compete for the NASCAR championship.   Entering Sunday's 3M Performance 400 at Michigan International Speedway, Busch holds that final Chase spot while Newman is 13th, 96 points behind him.   Yet they don't plan to change the way they operate or alter the team dynamic at all. If anything, Newman and Busch are working together even more closely in an effort to boost the performance of both.   "We're not competing against each other," Newman said Tuesday during a national teleconference. "We've got two teams going for the last two spots in the Chase. That's the way we look at it. Obviously we're [96] points out of 12th, but Kurt is not too far behind 11t

NASCAR has to be ecstatic with the standings heading into Watkins Glen next week. The biggest names in NASCAR so far are all qualifiers for the Chase.

  WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (Aug. 12, 2007) Kurt Busch strengthened his hold on 12th place in the standings with his 11th-place finish in Sunday's Centurion Boats at The Glen, while Ryan Newman gained a position with his 13th-place performance at Watkins Glen International.   With four races remaining before the "Chase for the Championship" begins, Busch leads 13th-place Newman by 96 points and Dale Earnhardt Jr., who dropped to 14th, by 100 points. Busch trails 11th-place Martin Truex Jr. by 58 points. Newman moved into the standings' 13th position due to Earnhardt Jr.'s Chevrolet losing an engine during the season's final road course race.   Even though both Penske Racing drivers improved themselves in the overall picture, it wasn't an easy 90-lap event on the 2.45-mile course for either competitor. Newman experienced handling issues with his Kodak Dodge Avenger and took two side trips into the gravel pits that provide run-off areas at various turns. The first occurred

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (Aug. 11, 2007) – Ryan Newman fought off a tenacious Andy Lally in the closing laps of Saturday's Zippo 200 NASCAR Busch Series race at Watkins Glen International to bring his No. 12 Kodak Dodge Charger home in ninth.It was the second top-10 finish for Newman in five Busch Series races this season.The dual between Newman and Lally erupted with less than 10 laps remaining after Newman forced his way by Denny Hamlin in turn one. Newman, who was 10th when the 82-lap race restarted on lap 73 after the fifth and final caution period, barreled off into turn one under Hamlin with seven laps remaining. Newman's Kodak Dodge slid wide and took Hamlin with it into the paved run-off area. Both kept racing and Newman completed the pass.Newman now focused his yellow No. 12 Kodak Dodge on Lally. The dual began, and as they entered turn 11 on the 2.45-road course, Lally shoved Newman to the outside. Newman kept control of his car and continued down the frontstretch, maintaining

Penske Racing's fortunes seem on an upturn -In one respect it almost seems unfair.As Dale Earnhardt Jr. attempts to make the Chase for the Nextel Cup, he is facing a 2-on-1 battle.Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR's most popular driver and 13th in points, trails Penske Racing's Kurt Busch by seven points for the 12th and final Chase spot entering Sunday's Centurion Boats at the Glen at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International. Sitting in 14th is Busch's teammate, Ryan Newman.Busch catapulted past Earnhardt Jr. for the 12th spot last weekend with his dominating win at Pocono (Pa.) and ended a 51-race winless streak. Earnhardt Jr. has a sizable (47 races) winless streak of his own.Newman "came to Victory Lane and congratulated us. The team chemistry is really on its peak right now with the way we share information and help each other on the track," Busch said."If we have a fast car guys know it out on the track and Newman definitely helped us get to this point."In recent weeks, Busch and Newman have m

(Photo Credit: AP Photo/Tom Boland,CP)Before I get into some thoughts on this past weekends first Busch series race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, let me first state something, I am not a fan of Robby Gordon at all and I can’t stand him at all, plus he let’s his short temper and hitting people out of the way get the best of him and that’s it.With that said, I will try and come up with reasonal points about just what should have happened compared to what did happen and as a huge fan of NASCAR, I am disappointed in this Montreal race and there is a lot of blame and wrong calls to go around. If you fast forward to the last four laps of this race since the first 70 laps was just a lot of give and take. With 4 laps to go, Ambrose was leading coming to green and going through turns 1 and down through turn 2 and then Robby Gordon hit Ambrose in the right corner backend just as they went out of frame to come up to make the past on Ambrose, Ambrose then either didn’t see the

Busch dominated the Pennsylvania 500 from start to finish, earning his first Nextel Cup Series victory in more than a year and in the process put him in contention – at least for now – for a second series championship.He also set a NASCAR record, leading 174 of the 200 laps. Jeff Gordon held the record, leading 164 laps on the way to a win in July 1998. Busch’s win is the 16th of his career and first since March 26, 2006 at Bristol, Tenn.Busch pulled ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr. by 4.131 seconds to take Sunday’s win. The victory allowed him to move ahead of Earnhardt Jr. for the 12th and final spot in the Chase for the Nextel Cup with five races remaining before the field is set after the 26th race.Denny Hamlin finished third, Jeff Gordon fourth and Jimmie Johnson fifth.RESULTS:Fin Str Car Driver Team Laps Pts Bns Total Award Status Times Laps1 2 2 Kurt Busch Miller Lite Dodge 200 195 10 $212,108 Running 7 1752 1 8 Dale Earnhardt Jr. Budweiser Chevy 200 175 5 $218,708 Running 1

LONG POND, Pa. (Aug. 3, 2007) For the second time this year, rain interfered with a Penske Racing driver emerging in the No. 1 position at Pocono Raceway, as Kurt Busch was bumped from the pole for Sunday's Pennsylvania 500 after a shower interrupted qualifying on Friday.Busch, who snared the provisional pole in his Miller Lite Dodge Charger with a 52.984-second, 169.863-mph lap, possessed the top starting spot until there were nine drivers left to qualify. Rain began falling during Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s qualifying lap and NASCAR officials ruled he could make another timed run if time trials resumed. With a clean, cooler track, Earnhardt Jr. pushed his car to a lap 0.035-second faster than Busch on the 2.5-mile, triangular-shaped track."I thought there might be somebody that would sneak out there and get it," Busch said. "If it would have rained out qualifying, we would have been bumped all the way to 14th. To be outside pole is great and gives us the chance to be towards the front."T

Aug 01, 2007 Kurt Busch (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge) and Penske Racing teammate Ryan Newman (No. 12 Mobil 1 Dodge) have their teams moving in the right direction in the series standings currently 13th and 14th respectively. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet) sits on the bubble, 13 points ahead of Busch and 59 ahead of Newman. Neither Newman nor Busch made the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup last season.   But this season may be a different story. Newman heads to Pocono with a 2003 win at the track and five top-five finishes, including a runner-up finish earlier this season. Newman - a. k.a 'the Rocket' - also has been known to put the No. 12 Dodge on the pole at Pocono, notching two in his career, including earlier this season. Busch has less ground to make up than his teammate, and he, too, has had success at Pocono with a win in 2005 and six top fives. Earnhardt Jr. will have to be on his toes because the competition is closing in. This race could be the one Penske

Jason Leffler won the Kroger 200 at O’Reilly Raceway Park after a late race battle with 2002 series champion Greg Biffle. Leffler, who won Thursday’s Silver Crown event at ORP is no stranger to the .686 mile facility. Lefler a former USAC Midget and Silver Crown Champion has won eight events at the track since 2002. This win was his second ever in the Busch series in 139 starts backing up his 2004 win at Nashville.

Short track racing at its finest and its Indy, I have always enjoyed watching both the Truck Series and the Busch Series race at Indianapolis Raceway Park, what a hard track to pass on, they say that there's at least two groves, but unlike most short tracks, the fastest way around here is on top, but not on this night as a couple of drivers found the best way to pass was on the bottom. I would have thought that finally this night would have belong to Aric Almirola as he started on pole and dominated early on, but once he was mirrored back in traffic, he just couldn't go no where and that gave Biffle the lead.One thing that caught every one's attention was during the second set of pit stops when during Hornaday's pit stop, the front tire carrier was hit sending him to the ground and the tire flying on to the car that hit him, what a scary hit, the result were a broken toe, glad to see he's OK.Leffler, who was on 50 lap fresher tires at the end of the race battled and in most cases

Kyle Thomas Busch (born May 2, 1985 in Las Vegas, Nevada) is an American race car driver. Currently, he drives the #5 Kellogg's/CARQUEST Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series as well as the #5 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Busch Series. He grew up racing at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He is often nicknamed Shrub, since he is the younger brother of NASCAR driver Kurt Busch and a small bush is called a shrub.At 16, Busch competed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Roush Racing as a replacement after the team's two drivers were released midway in the 2001 season, and earned two top-10 finishes in six starts what was scheduled to be a full-season campaign for 2002. (In 2000, NASCAR rules changed to permit a driver to make up to seven starts -- up from five -- in a season before becoming a full-time driver for rookie status.)Busch was the fastest in practice for a 2001 Craftsman Truck Series race at California Speedway in Fontana, CA, when he was

Anheuser Busch (BUD) remains on my radar. I own the July 55 calls which jumped 47% today to close at $1.40 bid - only problem is that I bought them at $1.20 last week, rode them down through expiration and now at least have my head a bit above water. The stock was up as much as 3% on no news. There has been speculation that BUD could become the target of activist investor William Ackman who has indicated a company about the size of BUD ($41 bln market cap) would be just right for him to take on. Rumors have also swirled that billionaire investor Warren Buffett might find BUD attractive, or that a larger global brewer could make a bid.What ultimately happens is still in our future, but bulls have targeted BUD by buying large quanties of call options, especially calls that expire in July - meaning they're looking for something to happen sooner rather than later. Open interest on the July calls totals over 52,000 contracts, while put open interest for July totals 9,723. The options are a

With the Swedish government pushing forward with plans to exit the alcohol business, one of the rumored suitors for the Absolut brand had been Anheuser-Busch, America's largest brewer. The sale of Absolut has not yet been concluded, but the folks in St. Louis did not wait around to nab a vodka label.While it is not an equity purchase at the moment, Anheuser-Busch has cut a deal with Vermont Spirits for A-B to become the master U.S. distributor for the Vermont Gold, Vermont Gold Vintage and Vermont White super-premium vodkas.Vermont Spirits is a regional distiller selling in Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and other select markets. The company's products are fairly unique. Vermont Gold is an unflavored vodka made by distilling maple sugar, while Vermont White is triple distilled from pure milk sugar and Vermont spring water. Starting this month, A-B will begin distributing the brands, while Vermont Spirits will continue to market the vodkas. Under the deal, Anheuser-

In a move to keep up with international rivals that are investing heavily in China, Anheuser-Busch announced today it will build a new brewery in the city of Foshan, in Guangdong province.This is the first new brewery Anheuser-Busch has constructed outside of the United States. The $63 million plant will brew Budweiser and Harbin for the southeastern part of China. When it comes on line in late 2008 the brewery will have a 2.2 million barrel capacity. A-B plans to push its brands in to dozens of new markets in China, where Budweiser has been brewed for 11 years and distributed mainly in the northern part of the country.Beer consumption in China is up 78 percent since 1997.

The Czech Republic says it plans to investigate how Budejovicky Budvar is being managed and look into a number of recent contracts, including the U.S. distribution deal signed with Anheuser-Busch Companies.Budvar is the last major Czech brewer to still be under government control. The government has discussed selling the brewery to close a budget deficit. Trade Minister Martin Riman says he believe the deal with its American rival lowers the value of the company. Riman had said Budvar could fetch between $932 million and $1.4 billion on the open market.Budvar and A-B have been fighting in courts for decades over the Budweiser trademark. Earlier this year the two companies announced a surprising deal that has A-B distributing Budvar's brands in the U.S., including Czechvar, the name the brand is sold by in this country.

America's largest brewer has won the latest round in the on-going international Budweiser trademark dispute. The Anheuser-Busch Cos. won a court ruling in Italy against Czech brewer Budejovicky Budvar.The court said A-B has rights to the Budweiser brand name in Italy. The company has owned rights to the Budweiser name in the country since 1990. Budejovicky Budvar had recently attempted to register the Budweiser Budbrau and Budweiser Budvar names.

In somewhat of a "man bites dog" kind of a story, Anheuser-Busch has made a $300,000 donation to the University of Mississippi to fight alcohol abuse on the school's Oxford, Miss., campus.A-B is going to help fund a social norming research study started three years ago by the Ole Miss Center for Health Promotion. The project involves research and education designed to dispel myths among college students that most of their fellow students drink heavily. The program's goal is to give students accurate information and help them make responsible decisions about consuming alcohol. Some at Ole Miss are against accepting A-B's donation and argue that the social norming solution does not work as well as mandatory freshman alcohol awareness programs and strict enforcement of laws regarding underage drinking.The fact of the matter is that the anti-alcohol crowd is showing its true colors in this case by calling on the University of Mississippi to reject the donation. A-B's willingness to ste

Anheuser-Busch Cos. of the United States and Budejovicky Budvar of the Czech Republic have agreed to put aside one of the world's longest running trademark disputes in the name of selling more Czech pilsner in America. The two companies have fought over the Budweiser trademark, running up millions of dollars in legal bills around the world. Anheuser-Busch cannot sell its flagship beer under the Budweiser name in most of Europe, using the name Bud instead. In the U.S., the Czech company cannot use the Budvar brand name, instead selling its beer as Czechvar. Under the agreement announced by the two brewing firms this morning, Czechvar, currently sold in 30 states, will go nationwide using A-B's marketing, sales and distribution clout. The move further expands the St. Louis based brewery's alliances with imported brands. Czechvar joins Grolsch, Tiger, Kirin, Stella Artois, Beck's, Bass Pale Ale, Leffe and other beers in A-B's import portfolio. The two companies are calling the ag

The maker of the King of Beers is on a roll. Anheuser-Busch, America's largest brewer, was rewarded for its frenetic level of activity in 2006 with sales of 102.3 million barrels -- a new record. The company announced on Friday that shipments to wholesalers were up 1.2 percent. The company said core brands like Bud Light and Budweiser contributed to the growth, as did the freshly acquired Rolling Rock brand and import labels like Grolsch. Company officials said strategic initiatives put in place during 2006 position A-B for additional growth in 2007.
