Richard Childress Racing and AT&T unveiled a new paint scheme for their no. 31 AT&T Chevrolet driven by Jeff Burton to promote AT&T’s support for Team USA at the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

The car features the AT&T USA five-ring logo and images of U.S. Olympic Team hopefuls gymnast Nastia Liukin and swimmer Michael Phelps. Burton will pilot the newly unveiled paint scheme during the NASCAR Sprint Cup event at Pocono Raceway.

"We're in the midst of an exciting season, and the AT&T Racing team is thrilled about the new look," said Burton. “The Olympic Games only come around every two years, and it's an honor to show our support for AT&T Team USA hopefuls."

"It's an amazing honor to be featured on Jeff Burton's race car and to know that we have great support from fans, AT&T and the AT&T Racing team as we prepare for the Olympic Games," said Liukin, a nine-time world medalist. "The new paint scheme looks awesome."

The race car will tour the country to promote excitement for the 2008 Olympic Games and support for Team USA until its race track debut at the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway in August. Pete McCole reporting
