I am co-host of the syndicated radio show: ON PIT ROW. Charlie likes to call me an "idiot". I'm not an "idiot"; I just prefer not to let the facts get in the way of my opinions.

The wrong beer company is on the pole for the Bud Shootout.
kurt BuschOn Thursday the Bud Shootout drivers stepped up to the podium and drew for starting positions in the pre-season non-points race. The big winner was Kurt Busch, who grabbed the Budweiser bottle with the number one attached to gain the pole in his Miller Lite Dodge.

The car sponsored by the race sponsor drew the number 8 starting position, as new Bud driver Kasey Kahne will start outside of row four. Other libations in the field show the #07 Jack Daniels Chevy driven by Clint Bowyer starting 21st. Crown Royal will have their #26 Ford of Jamie McMurray starting fourth.

The Bud Shootout is the first time every year that the teams, crews and drivers hit the track for real. All the testing is circumspect at best. Testing is more about questions than answers. But once the cars hit the track for the shootout, everyone will be able to see who is strong and who were pretenders during practice.

To paraphrase DW; “Lets go racing boys”.

    Ha, Kurt screwed up after he drew his little “pole flag” out of the botte. Looking like he was embarrassed by the “Budweiser” logo on the flag - he started to cover up the “Miller Lite” logos on his shirt. Not what they teach you at Sponsor School, for sure

    That’s kind of what I thought, but then after thinking on it for a bit I thought it was actually pretty clever considering all the Miller vs. Bud stuff from “the bookies”.

    IMHO, Kurt trying to be funny actually drew more attention to the Miller name as attention was diverted to what he was doing and made Miller come into your mind as your brain acknowledges he was trying to cover the logo. Of course, as I mentioned, drawing the focus off of the Bud name for a minute.

Got something to say?
