| Dover, DE. (6/1/2014) Responsible fans earned valuable rewards at Sunday’s FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks at Dover International Speedway. The track, Budweiser and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition partnered to promote responsible drinking and traffic safety at Dover International Speedway.287 fans made the pledge to be a Good Sport – the designated driver for their group. All of them had the opportunity to receive a free souvenir photo, instant prizes, a bottle of Aquafina water, and a chance to be selected as the Designated Driver for the race. One randomly selected, responsible fan will win the Responsibility Has Its Rewards sweepstakes. The grand prize includes two tickets and a VIP experience for two at the next NASCAR Sprint Cup Series™ race at Dover International Speedway.
 
“While we want every fan that comes to Dover International Speedway to enjoy things as much as they can, safety is always the top priority,” said Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. “With that in mind, the fans that chose to serve as designated drivers for their family or friends this past weekend should be commended.”
“Anheuser-Busch has led our industry in promoting responsible drinking for more than 30 years and Budweiser Good Sport is one of our most visible programs, which reminds fans who choose to drink, to do so responsibly and get their friends home safely,” said Kathy Casso, vice president, Corporate Social Responsibility at Anheuser-Busch. “We all share the same streets after the race. This partnership with Dover International Speedway, TEAM and the fans displays our collective responsibility to help keep our roads safe.”
 
“The success of the Responsibility Has Its Rewards campaign is a direct result of the commitment from our members and all the designated-driver program partners, including the tracks, beer companies and state offices of highway safety,” said Jill Pepper, executive director of TEAM Coalition. “Teamwork is what this campaign is all about. We are demonstrating that when everyone – including the fans – takes responsibility, everyone wins.”
