Miller Lite’s plans to celebrate a Rusty Wallace victory in the Daytona 500 by handing out coupons for free six-packs of Miller beer have been foiled at every point so far by Daytona officials. First, they were told it wouldn’t be allowed to hand out anything inside the track. Then it was told it couldn’t hand out anything on any speedway grounds. And then Miller officials got a letter from the Daytona Beach police warning them not to do anything to impede pedestrian traffic.( Winston Salem Journal ), see the initial story and info on the #2 Team News and Links page . UPDATE: When the green flag waves to start Sunday’s 500-mile stock car season-opener in Daytona Beach, Fla., Rusty Wallace will be looking for his first win in the world¹s most prestigious stock car race and looking to make race fans in attendance winners too. In order to make it ‘Miller Time’ for everyone in attendance at the track, Wallace will have to guide his #2 Miller Lite Dodge stock car through the field and take the checkered flag after 200 laps around the 2.5-mile track. If Wallace is able to do that and capture his first win in Daytona Beach, all legal drinking age race fans in attendance will receive a coupon for a free six-pack of Miller Lite. If Wallace is the first driver to cross the finish line Sunday, Miller Lite will distribute coupons following the race by company representatives. Easily identified Miller Lite representatives will distribute the coupons in areas outside the track and off of track property. If Rusty Wallace wins the stock car season-opener at Daytona Beach — Miller Lite will give all adult fans in attendance at the race a coupon for a free six-pack of Miller Lite. The coupons will be distributed following the race by Miller Lite representatives, who will be easily identified stationed outside the track and off of track property. Coupon is valid in Florida, through February 28, 2003. Coupon is good for $4.99 off of a Miller Lite six-Pack, or larger Miller Lite package.( Tom Roberts PR )(2-14-2003)
