CAT renews sponsorship of Bill Davis Racing
Bill Davis Racing and Caterpillar, Inc. announced this afternoon that the machinery company will extend its partnership with BDR through the 2009 season. CAT has sponsored the team since 1999, including Ward Burton's victory in the 2002 Daytona 500. CAT also served as sponsor for Scott Wimmer's 3-year tenure from 2004-2006, and has continued this season with rookie Aric Almirola as BDR switched to Toyota. The influx of cash from the Japanese manufacturer has BDR hopeful of improved results, as the team has struggled to consistently place in the top 25. "It's with great pleasure that I announce that our partnership with Bill Davis Racing will continue through 2009. We know that many NASCAR fans have dual-interests in machinery and construction-related area, so the partnership is beneficial for both parties," said Caterpillar, Inc. CEO Jim Owens. Almirola is only signed for one-year, but the team will look to expand to two full-time cars for 2008 when the COT is introduced. After 2 races in 2007, Almirola ranks 27th in the point standings.
