Junior declines beer bet against Busch
By MARK LONG, AP Sports Writer

February 17, 2006

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. driving a blue Miller Lite Dodge? Kurt Busch in a red Budweiser Chevrolet?

Don't laugh. It could have happened.

ADVERTISEMENT
Busch's Miller Lite sponsor extended a bet to Earnhardt's Budweiser team Friday, offering a friendly wager on the outcome of this season's Nextel Cup series standings.

``This is joke, right? I'm focused on the season and winning races, so I'm not interested in a stunt like this,'' Junior said. ``I'm the Bud guy and this deal is something dreamed up by the guys in Milwaukee to create something out of nothing.''

Miller's chief marketing officer Tom Long sent a letter to Anheuser-Busch vice president of brand management Marlene Coulis, proposing a deal in which the driver who finished lower in the points race in 2006 would drive the other car's paint scheme in a 2007 race.

Two Budweiser cars at Martinsville? Two Miller Lite entries at New Hampshire? Earnhardt and Busch in a season-long battle that could be comparable to racing for pink slips?

Busch, the 2004 series champion, was in favor of the deal from the start, saying it would create more excitement and give his entire team more incentive to win.

As intriguing as the thought might be, it won't happen -- at least not this year.

Earnhardt and Anheuser-Busch declined the beer bet without much debate.

Good Morning! A frightfully Frigid morning...

Air temp is -10 Deg F
Air speed is 11 mph from the NW

EQUALS a WIND CHILL of -29DegF.

The wife and I SERIESLY Discussed going to Daytona next year for the 10 days. Maybe an RV in the infield or a condo on the beach?

A year ago we were cruising in Hawaii when JEFF GORDON won...

Hmmmm there are some possibilities here..

Happy SATURDAY!!

Good morning...What a difference a month makes. We had 26 days with rain in Jan and Feb has seen only 2. It's 35 degrees here this morning which is up from 30 the past 2 days. It may rain today with a chance of snow down to 500 feet elevation.

I'll be leaving for my one day of "work" in an hour and be back at 2.

Right click the last link I sent, and choose 'Open in new window', so that it won't resize your existing window (especially if you are in Firefox.) I didn't realize it would do that when I made the link.
