Tony -- This Buds for you

Tony gets the color--driver --and the sponsorship from the King of Beers

Kevin Harvick will continue his relationship with Budweiser through Stewart-Haas Racing next year.

After 14 seasons with Richard Childress Racing which includes 21 Sprint Cup wins, 6 Chase berths and a Nationwide Series championship the 37-year-old Bakersfield, Calif., native will campaign in the No. 4 Budweiser Chevy for 20 Cup races and the Budweiser Duel for SHR in 2014. Bud will also be a major associate sponsor for the remaining 17 events.

I've developed a great relationship with so many people at Budweiser and am very happy its an association that will continue for many years to come, Harvick said in a release. Weve enjoyed a lot of success together and our expectations match right up with those of Stewart-Haas Racing.

Budweiser has enjoyed more than a 30-year involvement with NASCAR. Harvicks relationship began with King of Beers in 2011. He is currently fourth in the Sprint Cup point standings.

Over the last three years, Kevin has been an amazing ambassador for Budweiser, both on and off the track, said Blaise DSylva, vice president of media, sports and entertainment marketing for Anheuser-Busch, in a release. We value that level of commitment, and were proud to join him at Stewart-Haas Racing next season.

Richard Childress has been a great partner to us and we value the efforts of everyone at Richard Childress Racing. As we enter the second half of the season, were focused on supporting the No. 29 Budweiser Racing team as they contend for the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.

Surprise, surprise. Not. The question is where will Ryan Newman race in 2014.

was he not rumored to be stepping over to Richard Childress. be a great team with him and those gran-kids

"If you got the money, honey, I got the time!"

Seriously, it would take some terrific tongue control down the way for any driver to survive on a team with two of the car owner's grandsons, don't you think?

well put Dave, I've been in a couple of situations in the past which involved family members as team mates and it seldom works.. Blood is thicker than water and maybe Budweiser.....
