Ryan Newman has found a home for 2014...
His "he can't stay at Stewart-Haas because they aren't going to have a 4th car in 2014 until Kurt Busch came along to be the 4th car" now moves him to Richard Childress Racing to drive the #31 Caterpillar car that will be driven by Jeff Burton until the end of the year...
Luke Lambert will remain with the team as crew chief, and Caterpillar was the only sponsor announced for 2014. Burton said he was leaving RCR at the end of the season because he didn't think a proper team could be run with just Caterpillar as the sponsor now lends itself to the idea that Newman is bringing others with him to fund the 31.
"This is a great opportunity for our team," RCR owner Richard Childress said. "I am very proud to have Ryan in our No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet starting next year. We have high expectations for this No. 31 team. Ryan has proven himself to be a great driver, and I'm looking forward to winning races with him."
Newman said that he first talked to Childress about a potential deal five years ago, but now they're doing their thing...
