Of course it's a publicity stunt, what do you think about it?

I think that a lil competition is good for the morale. It's a fun challenge between two drivers that hurts no one. Besides I think Jr. will kick butt. Go DEI!!!!

Great publicity stunt but Busch would never go for it.I bet if the shoe was reversed and it had been A-B proposing Miller would have said no.I think that Miller likes to be able to get free publicity.I mean after all A-B is a bigger name in NASCAR than Miller is.They sponsor a car,series,poles all kinds of stuff and they show more commercials.Also Bud & Bud Light are the top selling beers.Now dont get upset with me I dont drink so I dont really care how it turns out.
The bet didnt have to do with the drivers switching cars.If Jr. won then Miller Field would be renamed Busch Stadium when the Cardinals came to play for an undetermined amount of time and vice-versa if Busch won then Busch Stadium would be called Miller Field when the Brewers came to St.Louis.At least that was what was explained to me.

I don't know about Bud being yellow last year. Who has more to gain? Miller having Jr. run in their car or Bud having Busch run in their car? Simply put, wasn't a fair bet even if Jr. won it. I like the naming rights thing a little better this year around although the whole thing is goofy.

Miller must be in need of some attention. Budweiser doesn't have anything to prove. I guess that the only way that Miller can afford the advertisement.

I think it should involve NASCAR like last year's challenge did. I mean they are proposing a bet about racing and the payoff is naming the other's baseball stadium... who cares?
I thought the challenge last year was pretty cool. I would have liked seeing one of the two have to carry the colors of the victor. It would have been memorable.

I think it would be great to see a cross sport challenge like this but there are way too many other factors involved for it to be pulled off. Besides Jr. couldn't handle the pressure.

Just playing games. We all know none of this crap will go down. Besides, I prefer Bud to Miller anyday.

Meaningless wager. Venues change their names to often no-a-days anyway, and this would only be for one series - four days maximun. Other than the sport or the press, who honestly refers to Sears Point as Infineon, or Candlestick as Monster Park (or what ever it is called this year)

I like the idea, Budweiser showed yellow last year ,due to corporate chicken-heartedness,no fault of juniors.They would have won too,the fools.I'd like to see them show some sack and accept this year, but I'll be surprised if they do.
