NASCAR is still looking for a series sponsor to replace the outgoing Anheuser-Busch in its AAA division, the NASCAR Busch Series. A-B announced in December that it was dropping its sponsorship of the series after 25 years. NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Saturday “nothing is imminent” as far as a Busch announcement, but serious talks are ongoing.(SPEEDtv.com)(7-1-2007)
UPDATE: From Brian France's Teleconference on Tuesday: "The Busch Series, we do have a lot of discussions going on. Nothing new to report on the entitlement sponsorship. Our goal we said was to announce something sometime this summer. I'm pretty optimistic that that's going to happen. We're going to get a partner for the long haul of the country's second most popular form of motorsports. That announcement will come several weeks or so down the line."(NASCAR PR)(7-4-2007)
