Lufkin Resident Accepts Text-to-Win Busch Boat at Brookshire Brothers

Brookshire Brothers and Busch Lite congratulate Glen Tillar, of Lufkin, the winner of a new 2022 TRACKER© Pro 170 boat through Anheuser Busch’s statewide text-to-win contest. 

Tillar accepted his “Busch boat” at the Brookshire Brothers store located on W. Frank Ave. on Monday, September 19. The contest, sponsored by Busch Lite, ran from June 6 to July 11.


“We love working with our incredibly generous vendor partners, like Anheuser Busch, to make days like this possible. Mr. Tillar will really make a statement cruising across Lake Sam Rayburn in his new boat, and we’re thrilled we had a small part in making that happen,” said Melissa Crager, Brookshire Brothers’ Public Relations & Corporate Responsibility Manager.


Tillar said the feeling he had when picking up the boat on Monday was “awesome,” and when asked if he thought he would ever own something like this, he said, “never in a million years. Who would?”


The custom-wrapped 2022 TRACKER Pro 170, valued at nearly $20,000, was selected by the TRACKER Boating Center in Houston. The TRACKER Pro 170 has plenty of unique features, including elevated bow and aft casting decks with storage below, a Mercury® outboard, Minn Kota® trolling motor and Lowrance® fishfinder, as well as an aerated livewell, VERSATRACK® accessory-mounting channels and more.


“We appreciate the TRACKER Boating Center in Houston for all their help with the promotion as they were valued partners,” said James Hagan of Anheuser Busch. “They have been fantastic through this process.”
