red bull was a huge sponsor last year (free red bull and barcardi all weekeds- groan)
evidentally, they were treated rather poorly (heard this from a girl in LA who used to work for red bull and who has never even been to detroit- so it must have been pretty bad) nothing but some free miller on-site this year, hidden so it didn't get drank. and no giant inflatable beer bottle like past years.
