Busch to carry local sponsor

Kurt Busch, the 2004 NASCAR Cup champion from Las Vegas, has turned an off-handed comment into a sponsorship deal for the March 2 Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

After his victory in a race at Pocono Raceway last August, Busch said he was naming the winning car the “PT Special” in honor of crew chief Pat Tryson. Busch then gave a shout out to “PT’s Pubs in Las Vegas” during the nationally televised interview from victory lane.

Golden Gaming Inc., which owns and operates the PT’s tavern chain in Nevada, will sponsor Busch, who drives the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge, in the Las Vegas race. Busch will be featured in one of Golden Gaming’s new TV commercials that will air locally during the Super Bowl and will take part in some meet-and-greets in the week leading up to the race.
