MEMPHIS, Tenn. Nov. 5, 2019 The Ducks Unlimited (DU) logo soared to new heights on Sunday, finishing in Victory Lane on the No. 4 car at Texas Motor Speedway with Kevin Harvick behind the wheel. Harvick led a race-high 119 of 334 laps at the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race at the AAA Texas 500 on Sunday.

The special paint scheme was provided by Anheuser-Busch through their Proud Partnership with DU and was unveiled in early October. The iconic duck head logo graced the No. 4 racecar both inside and out.

While he finished in Victory Lane, the win didnt come easy for the Stewart-Haas Racing Team. After starting the race from the pole, Harvick was forced to prevail over a pit-road penalty, causing him to restart at the back of the pack as the sun set on Texas Motor Speedway. This challenge did not stop the Busch/DU No. 4 car from pushing forward and on lap 225, Harvick took the lead.

We were extremely grateful for the opportunity to have DUs name and logo on Kevins car, said DU CEO Adam Putnam. The outcome was incredibly exciting, and we couldnt be happier for Harvick and the Stewart-Haas team. The fact that Anheuser-Bush in partnership with DU-provided the logoed paint scheme for millions to see speaks volumes about their Proud Partner commitment to conservation.

Harvick led multiple times in the Busch DU No. 4 Ford Mustang, including the final 21 laps leading him across the finish line 1.594 seconds ahead of the pack. Due to the number of laps Kevin Harvick led Sunday, DU earned an additional $25,000 contribution from the Anheuser-Bush partnership.

We were thrilled to watch Kevin Harvicks Busch Beer/Ducks Unlimited No. 4 Ford Mustang take the checkered flag at The AAA Texas 500 on Sunday. A big win for the team that also secured Harvicks spot in the 2019 NASCAR Championship 4! said Daniel Blake, Senior Director, U.S. Value Brands. As the beer brewed for the great outdoors, we're proud to partner with Ducks Unlimited in their support of wetland conservation to drive meaningful progress in our shared objective of a Better World.

This victory isnt DUs only tie to the racetrack. DU and Texas Motor Speedway are also hosting the inaugural Ducks Unlimited Expo at the speedway May 15-17, 2020.
