Caterpillar, the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, natural gas engines and industrial gas turbines, and a leading global supplier of diesel engines, teamed together
with Howard "Buz" McCall and his American Equipment Racing team to sponsor
David Green's Busch Grand National team last year.
Green, the 39-year-old Owensboro, KY, native, who captured the 1994 Busch Grand National Championship, raced his way to second place in the point standings with Caterpillar and American Equipment Racing in 1996. On his way, he captured two wins (Hickory, NC, April 6; Myrtle Beach, SC, June 22), four pole positions (Hickory, April 6; Nazareth, PA, May 19; Myrtle Beach, June 22; Loudon, NH, July 12) and was voted the Most Popular Driver on the Busch circuit.
Caterpillar will once again be the primary sponsor for Green's #96 Chevrolet Monte Carlo as he enters the Winston Cup scene for the first time and competes for Rookie-of-the-Year honors with Mike Skinner (1995 Craftsman Truck Series Champion) and Robby Gordon (Indy-car winner and five-time off-road champion).
