Report: Bud to end Earnhardt sponsorship
Kasey Kahne
TSN.ca Staff
It would appear that Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s association with Budweiser will come to an end when he joins Hendrick Motorsports next season.
Sources tell ESPN.com that Anheuser-Busch is shopping their sponsorship around for the best deal and that Kasey Kahne at Evernham Motorsports is one of four drivers they have targeted.
Evernham Motorsports says no agreement has been reached with Budweiser and they continue to talk to several other companies about 2008 sponsors.
It's possible Budweiser could remain with DEI depending on who the team signs to replace the departing Earnhardt. The beer brand has been on the No. 8 car since 2000.
Meanwhile, PepsiCo Inc. is said to be interested in sponsoring Earnhardt in the No. 5 Chevrolet next season using its brand of soft drinks and sports drinks.
Damn!,, still going to drink Budweiser though
