Robby Gordon Michigan Preview

Charlotte, NC (June 11, 2008) -- The No. 7 Jim Beam team is ready to "rock" this weekend at Michigan International Speedway. As part of the weekend's activities, Kid Rock, multi-platinum superstar, will serve as a special guest of the team, and the No. 7 will sport a new flashy Red Stag by Jim Beam / Kid Rock paint scheme.

Red Stag by Jim Beam -- Red Stag is an all-new cherry-infused offspring of the world's No. 1 selling bourbon. The new product is scheduled to launch in June and is the latest innovation from Beam Global Spirits & Wine Inc. Red Stag by Jim Beam recently announced a partnership with Kid Rock as a headline sponsor of Kid Rock's 2009 Rock N' Rebels Tour, which will hit 25 cities across North America this Summer. Kid Rock will kick off the Red Stag by Jim Beam partnership on June 14, when the Detroit native will serve as Grand Marshal of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series LifeLock 400 race at Michigan International Speedway.

Beam Global and Robby Gordon Receive Elite Award -- On Thursday, the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) and the National Center for DWI Courts (NCDC) awarded the NADCP Ambassador Award to Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc., the leading American spirits company and industry leader in the battle against hardcore drunk driving. Gordon was also honored with an Ambassador Award for his continued support of DWI Courts. Since 2007, Beam Global and Robby Gordon have teamed up with NCDC to bring national attention to the effectiveness of DWI Courts in addressing hardcore drunk driving.

Beam Global and Robby Gordon received the award today at the NADCP's 15th Annual Training Conference held in Anaheim, California. The NADCP Ambassador Award is given to public figures, who have used their celebrity or public position to raise awareness about Drug Courts or DWI Courts. Martin Sheen is also another notable celebrity that received a NADCP Ambassador Award earlier today.
