Will CAT and Jeff Burton be a good match?

Question

So it was just announced that starting next year, Caterpillar Inc. (CAT), will be Jeff Burton's sponsor for the next few years?

Any thoughts on this?

Who do you think will sponsor Dave Blaney next year since he is now sponsored by CAT

Answer 1

I guess CAT and JB will be a good match.  JB will be a good spokesperson for CAT, just as his brother was.  He is relateable.  However, I think the CAT car is ugly so the thought of it makes me cringe.  (Of course the black/orange with a giant blue and white globe is ugly, too....)

Answer 2

no no no!

Answer 3

yeah cat and Jeff Burton will be a good match since his brother Ward Burton won the 2002 Daytona 500 with Cat

it is kinda cool the other Burton gets cat as a sponsor

as for Blaney who knows sposorship is hard to come by in NASCAR these days

Answer 4

Well, you know that Jeff's brother Ward Burton drove CAT for years even won the Daytona 500 in it.  Yes I think CAT will be good for Jeff.

Answer 5

I don't know. I hope so, I like Jeff Burton, maybe his brother can teach him a few things about driving the CAT car.. but I just can't see him driving the CAT car... I like him as the AT&T car, the orange and black car is just him, to me

Answer 6

I think it will be a good match.  It will make things easier to get rid of the cell phone company that caused so many issues with Sprint.  I also think that Blaney may be looking for a new ride next year.  Things haven't been going to well for him.

Answer 7

If he tries to talk like his brother Ward then it'll be a perfect match...!!!

Answer 8

Who cares. The sponsor is just someone paying the bills.  I pay them no attention whatsoever.  Cat, McDonalds, Snickers, Sony, whatever! .  I just dont care.  I wanna see some racin'.

Answer 9

Well BD and CAT had a good relationship and won some races in those ten years. Its not exactly easy to hold sponsors down for that long..so it was a good ride.

But I don't see why Jeff wouldn't work. He's a good spokesman. It would be pretty funny if he could get them a Daytona 500 win too, considering Ward won with them.

Answer 10

I was tired of seeing his current colors anyway. To often I've confused his orange with Tony's (you know when you see your driver when the camera pans out and just see a color) and either freaked out wondering why he's so far back or pondered on how he made that run to the front so fast. I also like the paint scheme on Blaney's ride right now. Burton is a class act, any sponsor who gets him is lucky.

Answer 11

Jeff Burton  not being with AT & T sounds like c**p. Dave Blaney should stick with CAT.

Answer 12

Sounds odd for him to have new colors next year.

I think it will grow on him.

31 Cat Chevy sounds funny.
