Kevin Harvick joins a stellar list of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers that have represented Budweiser to millions of hardcore race fans over the years. Harvick now carries that resposibility as the beer maker will sponsor the No. 29 team in 2011.

Budweiser will serve as primary sponsor of Harvick for 20 NASCAR points events and as associate sponsor for the balance of the schedule. Budweiser will also sponsor Harvick and the No. 29 team in two non-points races during Speedweeks in Daytona and will be co-primary for the All-Star Race in Charlotte next May.

"Budweiser is one of the most respected sponsors in our sport," said Harvick. "They do a lot to market their teams and the sport in television broadcasts and away from the track. I'm looking forward to driving the No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet, taking  it to Victory Lane and winning championships."

Harvick, who won last Sunday at Michigan, has collected three wins, 11 top-five and 16 top-10 finishes so far this season.

"Throughout his career, Kevin has shown he can win at any level in NASCAR," said Richard Childress. "Combining his talent with
Budweiser's NASCAR lineage and proven track record of innovative sponsorship activations makes this an exciting pairing for fans everywhere. RCR prides itself on its heritage and authenticity, so working with a brand like Budweiser, which has built their reputation on those same values, is a very special opportunity."
