NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Official beer of NASCAR, Busch has a long and storied history within the NASCAR family. Not only has Busch been the beverage of choice by countless winners during their celebrations in victory lane, but Busch has been along for the ride for four decades dating back to the 1979 Daytona 500.

Since 2019 marks the 40^th anniversary of Busch's presence at Daytona, the brand is celebrating racing roots and raising a cold one to 40 years of NASCAR support with something never before seen in motorsport - a crisp, cold can of Busch constructed from Kevin Harvick's #4 race car. The Car 2 Can collection from Busch is giving people the unique opportunity to drink the sport they eat, sleep, and breathe.

"Busch Beer officials brought the idea to me last year and I thought it was great way to connect with the fans. These cans are made up of pieces of my car from the 2018 season and I'm excited for the cans to be released. Can't wait for the fans to see them," said NASCAR Driver Kevin Harvick.

On February 17^th, Busch is inviting nearly 10 million Daytona 500 viewers to play a live trivia contest for a chance to win one of the exclusive cans.
