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.

NASCAR Star James Hylton Takes Final Laps
Stock Car Racing History
Just saw this and had to share this with everyone-- it may be old news but the way its written it tells a special tale, but one only a driver can understand..
After nearly a half-century behind a stock car wheel 
, James Hylton, 78, took his final lap around Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway in May when his car was smashed in a multi-vehicle crash less than halfway through the race.
It was a bittersweet return to the fabled track for Hylton, who won the Talladega 500 in 1972 and plans to retire at the end of the racing season. Its hard to believe so many years have passed, says Hylton, of Inman, S.C. Ive enjoyed every minute of it.
Hylton, who ran his first NASCAR race in 1964, today competes in the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) series, running his No. 48 car against much younger drivers.
Its cool to see him still racing, says Mason Mingus, 18, a rising star in the ARCA series. Hes an all-around great guy, with a ton of stories. I hope Im going as strong as he is when Im 78.
A racing era will pass when Hylton makes his final pit stop this fall.
James has been in the sport as long as most of us can remember, says Darrell Waltrip, a three-time NASCAR champion and Fox Sports commentator. Hes a fixture.
Waltrip and Hylton waged a fierce battle in the 72 Talladega race until Waltrip was sidelined with a blown motor. That opened the door for Hyltons career-best victory.
If I had to lose it, Id rather it be to James than anybody, Waltrip says. Nobody has paid more dues than he has over the years.
Born on a farm in Roanoke, Va., James was one of 13 children in the Hylton family. Like many restless rural youngsters in the 1950s, he was drawn to the excitement of the racetrack. He was hired as a mechanic, then became a crew chief, and eventually graduated to driver.
In Hyltons first NASCAR race in 1964, he finished 19th and won $100. During the ensuing years, Hylton ran about 600 top-tier races, winning twothe Richmond (Va.) 500 in 1970 and the 1972 Talladega raceagainst superstars such as Richard Petty and David Pearson.
I didnt always run up front, but I always ran hard, and as Sinatra said, I did it my way, says Hylton, NASCARs 1966 Rookie of the Year.
With fewer than a dozen races remaining on the 2013 ARCA schedule, Hylton isnt attempting to set any records. Im not trying to impress anybody or prove anything, he says. I race because I love it.
Being recognized for his longevity on the racetrack is rewarding. I appreciate it when somebody comes up and tells me they remember me from the old days, he says.
Though hes hanging up his drivers helmet, Hylton isnt abandoning the sport. He intends to remain active as owner of Hylton Motorsports, likely helping a fledgling driver get his start.

Stock Car Racing History
Maybe some of you that ran in the 70s will remember this car racing on the Ga dirt tracks ..Here is a replica of the Vega that was owned by S&M Racing and driven by Bob Moore back in the early '70's. It was so hated by their competitors that it earned the nickname "That Damn Vega". Yeah he was that dang tough to beat..

This will be a lasting face in my memory. For those of you who did not know Bob he was a great man and fierce competitor. He would run you hard but always clean, and afterwards a smile was waiting . He could tell stories all nite long,some that I taped, and most times no one left during.

OVER 800 WERE AT JASON LEFFLERS FUNERAL
Stock Car Racing History
The report that was released finds that a torsion stop came off, causing part of the sprint car's suspension system to become lodged between a wheel and the steering system. As a result, the report found, Leffler was unable to control the car's steering as he came out of the fourth turn and spun out, slamming into the concrete wall along the side of the track. Now thats all Im going to say or post about Jason..
