The McDonald's fast food company is back
in racing for a three-race sponsorship of Sebastien Bourdais in CART. The deal
has been stitched together by team owner Paul Newman who in recent months began
supplying McDonald's with his Newman's Own salad dressings. McDonald's was
previously involved in CART as a sponsor of Jerry Forsythe's third car but
withdrew a couple of years ago. The McDonald's deal may be a toe-in-the-water
exercise for the future but for the moment will be just for the Cleveland,
Denver and Miami events.
