NASCAR: Busch is getting fans back to the track before anybody else
By Asher Fair
Your face can be featured on Kevin Harvick’s #4 Busch Light Ford during the NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Wednesday, May 27.
Following a 10-week hiatus brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, NASCAR is back. Real-life action is officially slated to return at Darlington Raceway this Sunday, May 17 with the first of four Cup Series races over an 11-day span, something the sport hasn’t seen since 1971.

Unfortunately, due to public health guidelines and restrictions, fans will not be allowed in the grandstands for any of these four races from this Sunday through Wednesday, May 27, and they won’t be allowed back in any of the five races from Sunday, May 31 to Sunday, June 21, either.
But that doesn’t mean you won’t have the chance to have unprecedented “access” to one of these races from the track itself like never before.

That is because Busch Beer and Kevin Harvick have teamed up to create the #YourFaceHere contest.
A total of 10 lucky fans will have their face prominently displayed on Harvick’s #4 Stewart-Haas Racing Busch Light Ford, where they will “ride” with the 2014 Cup Series champion during the race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Wednesday, May 27. From now through this Sunday, fans can Tweet a picture of themselves with a Busch Light logo using hashtags #YourFaceHere and #BuschContest to enter for a chance to win.
