CAT comes to RCR

According to rcrracing.com, Jeff Burton will be getting a new sponsor in 2009. Richard Childress Racing has made an agreement with Caterpillar, putting the construction company's logo on the thirty-one car for multiple years.

Caterpillar has been with Bill Davis Racing and Dave Blaney for a while now, so this is a fairly major change. RCR seems to like Caterpillar, and might want to avoid the controversy that comes with having AT&T, a rival of Sprint, on the car.

Burton is one of the best, most consistent drivers in the series, being the only one to have all top ten finishes so far this season. This seems to be a good marriage between a great company and team that should last for years to come.
