BUSCH: Sadler, Riggs, Kahne share Ultimate Charger

Elliott Sadler will join Scott Riggs and primary driver Kasey Kahne for a 23-race Busch Series campaign behind the wheel of the #9 Ultimate Chargers Dodge.

Unilever USA recently confirmed that it would sponsor the Ultimate Chargers programme for a fourth year and, run in partnership with Evernham Motorsports, the programme will bring together three of Dodge's hottest properties.

"We won two Busch Series races last year and had nine top ten finishes, and this year's hard-charging team of Kasey Kahne, Scott Riggs and Elliot Sadler looks like another winning combination," Evernham said, "Ultimate Chargers is about family, fitness, fun and, of course, racing. Our drivers are excellent examples of that."

The operation will have a new team director, in the shape of Mike Shiplett, who comes over from Kahne's #9 Nextel Cup team hoping to make 2007 an even greater success than its predecessor.

Under terms of the sponsorship agreement, the Ultimate Chargers car will feature a range of products from Unilever's range, including newcomer Klondike ice cream alongside eight returning brands - Ragu pasta sauce, Hellmann's mayonnaise, Shedd's Spreads(R), Lawry's seasoning, Lipton tea, Wisk laundry detergent, Wish-
Bone salad dressings and Slim-Fast(R) weight control products.
