Discount retailer to be primary sponsor of No. 32 Toyota Camry for all 35 NASCAR Nationwide Series events in 2009

MOORESVILLE, NC (September 25, 2008) - Braun Racing and Dollar General Corporation are pleased to announce an agreement in which the Goodlettsville, Tenn.-based discount retailer will continue to serve as primary sponsor of Braun Racing's NASCAR Nationwide Series No. 32 Toyota Camry.

The 2009 driver line-up of the No. 32 Dollar General stores Camry will be announced at a later date.
