After 26 years, the Anheuser-Busch corporation is stepping out of its sponsorship with NASCAR’s second series. Edwards, a Missouri native, is more than a little pleased to win the last title given by a Missouri-based company, a corporate titan in his home state.
Edwards is just as stoked at the idea of winning the first Nationwide Series title as the insurance giant takes over naming rights in 2008. The question is: Should he be allowed to? K. Lee Davis, ESPN.com
The Performance Racing Industry convention and NASCAR Busch Series Banquet were both held this week in this attraction city, but NASCAR Busch Series champion Carl Edwards was smiling the largest of any driver.
That’s because Edwards received a payout of $2,485,582, an amount that ranks fourth all-time among series title winners, for winning this year’s NBS title. Edwards collected $1,241,985 in race winnings and $1,218,597 for his share of the series point fund after winning four races and scoring 21 top-10 finishes in 35 starts. AllHeadLineNews.com
