BDR to have 2 teams in '09

Tom Jensen of SPEED reports that Bill Davis Racing will be back with two cars next year despite multiple setbacks.

It's main car, the only one currently running in the Cup series, is Dave Blaney's number twenty-two Toyota. Yesterday, its primary sponsor, Caterpillar, was lost to RCR and Jeff Burton. The team is actively looking for another sponsor to replace Cat, which had been with them for a long time.

The second car will be the number twenty-three Chevy next season. Earlier this season,
Jacques Villeneuve attempted to give BDR a second car in the twenty-seven, but failed to qualify for any race and was released. It's unclear if he'll be back, but someone will have to drive the other car.

It's not a bad idea for BDR to add another one. Hopefully for them, a good sponsor will come on board, because it would be difficult to have two teams without one. I'm not sure if one will for the twenty-three car however, as it will almost certainly be an unproven rookie.
