Anheuser-Busch had been a longtime partner with Stewart-Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick. But it has been nearly a decade since Budweiser was last on Harvick's No. 4 car.
That will change at this weekend's 4EVER 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Budweiser will adorn the hood of Harvick's No. 4 Ford Mustang for one final ride at the site of his 2014 Cup Championship.
Not only is it a throwback to years past for Harvick, but he will also wear the famous red-and-white fire suit and everything about it. This throwback scheme will look just like the Budweiser scheme from 2014.

It should bring plenty of joy to fans, much like the other famous throwback schemes Harvick has run during his final Cup season.
Harvick has not won this season, but what better story than to have a chance to win the race that is named after him this weekend, along with having Budweiser back on the hood?
Stewart-Haas Racing shared a nice tribute video on its X page, showing what the car will look like this weekend and all the memories of everyone involved with the special 2014 season.

It will bring back plenty of memories for not just Harvick but also his fans and everyone involved this weekend. The No. 29 throwback at North Wilkesboro was cool, but this might be the icing on the cake for Kevin Harvick fans.
Budweiser has had a long history with the sport, and it was famously linked with Dale Earnhardt Jr. However, because Harvick won the 2014 championship with Budweiser, it will forever be a part of Harvick's legacy.
Homestead should be exciting, and being able to see that red-and-white No. 4 one last time is a great way to say goodbye and "thank you" to Harvick.
So, let's raise a toast to Kevin Harvick for his last race. Thanks for everything you have done for NASCAR.
