Miss Budweiser

The Miss Budweiser were 22 Hydroplanes sponsored by Budweiser beer that raced under the U-12 banner. They were owned (some were leased backups) by Bernie Little and (after his death in April, 2003), his youngest son, Joe. Anheuser-Busch sponsorship began in 1963, thanks to the friendship of Bernie, and (then) A-B President August Busch, III. Joe stopped racing after the 2004 season, when changes in Anheuser-Busch leadership resulted in them ending their 43 very successful years of sponsorship.
