POMONA, Calif. --

Corey Christanell presents a Clydesdale to Kenny Bernstein as wife Sheryl and son Brandon look on.

In Auto Club Finals pre-race ceremonies, Budweiser capped their 30-year relationship with six-time NHRA champion Kenny Bernstein by presenting him with a world famous Budweiser Clydesdale, the highest honor that Budweiser can bestow.

The presentation was made by Corey Christanell, Director of Sports and Entertainment Marketing at Anheuser-Busch, Inc.

"We are overwhelmed, "said an emotional Bernstein when accepting the Clydesdale.

"This is a huge honor and we're looking forward to the ever present reminder of 30 years of Budweiser association."

Few Clydesdales have been presented through the years. Other recipients include the late Dale Earnhardt and country music star Tim McGraw.
