There are a few iconic numbers and sponsors in NASCAR. Dale Senior's #3, The King's STP #43, and Jimmy Johnson's Lowes car come to the top of mind. Anheuser-Busch is one of those sponsors. The sport needs the iconic light blue Busch Light car. I think it is one of the best sponsorships in the pits. Currently Kevin Harvick drives in the Anheuser-Busch car. But this year is his final year in the Cup, and rumors have already started swirling about where they want their dollars and image next season. And they have identified their man, reportedly. Ross Chastain of Alva is the favorite to land the Budweiser sponsorship for 2024 according to reports online.
Sports Business Journal is reporting that third year team Trackside Racing is the favorite to land the Anheuser-Busch sponsorship after this season. And more specifically, drive Ross Chastain of Alva is the favorite to land Anheuser-Busch sponsorship. Chastain has gotten off to a good start in 2023. He has a 9th place finish n Daytona and a 3rd last weekend in California. Ross Chastain has made waves his first few seasons as a full time CUP driver. The last two seasons he finished 20th in 2021 and 2nd in 2022. He currently has the most points through the first two races out of all the drivers. There's no doubt that Chastain is making his mark on the sport. But for those reporting he is an up and coming talent- you're wrong. He has shown he is one of the best drivers in the sports. And now he will have the iconic backing of Anheuser-Busch.
