Kevin Harvick’s 2012 Budweiser Chevy Impala
Driving the No. 29 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, Harvick concluded the 2012 season ranked 8th in the final standings, accumulating 2,321 points. He secured 7 top-five finishes, 11 top-10 finishes, and led a total of 19 laps throughout the season. The pinnacle of Harvick's season came at the AdvoCare 500 in Phoenix on November 11, 2012. Starting from the 19th position, he led 15 laps and clinched his only win of the season, finishing ahead of Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch. In August 2010, Budweiser announced a three-year agreement to sponsor Kevin Harvick’s No. 29 Chevrolet starting in the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. In 2015, Anheuser-Busch announced a shift in its NASCAR sponsorship strategy, transitioning from Budweiser to its Busch beer brand for the 2016 season. Busch would serve as the primary sponsor for 12 races, marking the brand's return to the NASCAR scene after a hiatus since 2007. Despite this change, Budweiser remained a significant part of Harvick's career, with the brand continuing to sponsor him in select races and events.
