RCR adds fourth Cup car part-time

Richard Childress Racing will run a fourth car in the first five rounds of this year's NASCAR Sprint Cup, with Elliott Sadler and Brendan Gaughan sharing the driving. The former championship-winning team was expected to downsize from four to three cars for 2012, following the departure of Clint Bowyer to Michael Waltrip Racing. But Childress will continue to field the #33 Chevrolet for at least the first five races of the year, with Sadler at the wheel for the Daytona 500.
