Busch Light Doubles Down on NASCAR: $100 Billion Brewing Giant Extends Partnership with New Fan-Focused Experiences

NASCAR and Busch Light just locked in one of the most significant partnerships in the sport’s history, ensuring that fans will continue to raise a toast to their favorite races well into the future. Ahead of the 2025 Daytona 500, NASCAR has officially renewed its multi-year agreement with Anheuser-Busch, keeping Busch Light as the Official Beer Sponsor of NASCAR and the title sponsor of the Pole Award.

But this isn’t just about branding—Busch Light is bringing new, immersive fan experiences that will make race weekends bigger, bolder, and more entertaining than ever before.

Busch Light’s Legacy in NASCAR: A Partnership That Runs Deep

For over 30 years, Anheuser-Busch has played a pivotal role in shaping NASCAR’s image and bringing its beer-loving fanbase closer to the action. From the Budweiser era to the rise of Busch Light, the brand has remained a cornerstone of NASCAR culture, and now, the focus is on attracting younger audiences with fresh, interactive fan experiences.

The “Date-Tona” Event: Busch Light’s Unique Spin on Fan Engagement

Kicking off this new chapter, Busch Light is introducing “Date-Tona,” a one-of-a-kind fan experience at the 2025 Daytona 500.

The concept? A unique dating event that allows NASCAR fans to meet, connect, and potentially find love—right at the track.

Kyle Norrington, Chief Commercial Officer at Anheuser-Busch, explained the brand’s motivation:

“NASCAR and Busch Light fans are among the most devoted in the country. In 2025, together, we’ll give our deserving fans more opportunities to connect to this sport than ever before.”

It’s a bold move, aiming to transform the race-day atmosphere into something that extends beyond the roar of the engines.

Busch Light Summer Music Series: Bringing Concerts to the Track

Busch Light isn’t stopping at Date-Tona—they’re bringing big-name musical acts to NASCAR events with the all-new Busch Light Summer Music Series.

In 2025, NASCAR and Busch Light will host pre-race concerts at some of the sport’s most iconic venues, including:

  • Texas Motor Speedway
  • Michigan International Speedway
  • Chicago Street Race
  • Iowa Speedway
  • World Wide Technology Raceway

With music festivals becoming a major draw for younger audiences, NASCAR is using these pre-race concerts to blend high-speed action with live entertainment, creating an atmosphere that feels bigger than just racing.

On the Track: Busch Light Stays with Ross Chastain & Trackhouse Racing

Busch Light’s presence isn’t just off-track—they’re keeping their blue-and-gold paint scheme on Ross Chastain’s No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet.

Chastain, who has been the face of Busch Light in NASCAR, even landed a Super Bowl commercial for the brand earlier this year. In 2025, his car will feature a refreshed Busch Light livery, tied to the company’s “Race for the Mountains” campaign.

The Other Major Shake-Up: Xfinity’s Departure After 2025

While NASCAR secures long-term stability with Busch Light, another major change is looming on the horizon. Xfinity, the title sponsor of NASCAR’s secondary national series, will exit after the 2025 season, ending an 11-year run.

This creates a massive sponsorship gap that NASCAR must fill before the 2026 season, and with the Xfinity Series being such a crucial developmental platform, the pressure is on to find a new corporate partner to carry the torch.

The Future of NASCAR & Busch Light: A New Era of Fan Engagement

Busch Light’s renewed commitment to NASCAR signals a new era for the sport, one that blends tradition with innovation. With interactive fan events, live music, and an expanded brand presence, Anheuser-Busch is ensuring that NASCAR weekends feel bigger, more engaging, and more immersive than ever before.

And as the green flag drops on the 2025 season, one thing is certain: Busch Light and NASCAR are just getting started.
