Busch Light signs multiyear deal with Trackhouse Racing to sponsor Ross Chastain

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:19 GMT

Anheuser-Busch and Trackhouse Racing announced a multiyear agreement Tuesday that will make Busch Light, long one of the main sponsors for retiring NASCAR star Kevin Harvick, the primary sponsor for Ross Chastain in the Cup Series.The deal, which begins in 2024, had been in the works for months, but an announcement was pushed back when Anheuser-Busch became embroiled in controversy for sending a commemorative Bud Light can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.Many conservatives and critics of the LGBTQ+ community boycotted Bud Light, which has since been supplanted by Modelo as America’s best-selling beer, while some of Mulvaney’s fans claimed the brand did not do enough to support her.Busch Light, which is one of NASCAR’s four premier partners, was silent on social media from April 3 until June 22, three days before Chastain won the Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway. Trackhouse made it back-to-back wins the following week, when Shane van Gisbergen triumphed...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Republican gubernatorial nominee Daniel Cameron proposed awarding recruitment and retention bonuses to bolster police forces, part of a sweeping public safety plan unveiled Tuesday that calls for tougher penalties against drug traffickers found responsible for causing deaths in Kentucky.Cameron, the state’s attorney general, also proposed requiring that prosecutors pursue the death penalty against anyone convicted of murdering a police officer. He pledged to work with lawmakers to pass a wiretapping law to support investigations of drug- and gang-related crime. And he vowed to push for a standalone carjacking law aimed at a crime that he said has become more prevalent in Kentucky cities.An overarching goal is to make Kentucky “the best place in America to be a police officer,” a Cameron campaign release said ahead of a news conference Tuesday. Cameron is challenging Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear in one of the nation’s most closely watched campaigns in 202...

EU conservatives score big win on industrial emissions rules

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:19 GMT

As the EU bubble frets over an upcoming vote on hotly contested plans to boost nature restoration, a lesser-known Green Deal law suffered a major blow, handing a big win to conservative EU parties.Lawmakers in the European Parliament’s plenary on Tuesday voted to significantly water down the European Commission’s proposal to revise the bloc’s industrial emission rules, pushing to lower the number of targeted farms and exclude cattle farms altogether. The result is a clear win for farmers’ groups and their conservative and right-wing political allies — chief among them the European People’s Party, which has been pushing hard to water down key green legislation and portray itself as defending farmers’ interests ahead of next year’s European election.“Support for farmers at last!” EPP lawmaker Benoît Lutgen, who led work on the file in the agriculture committee, tweeted after the vote. The vote follows a fierce fight over how m...
