Hermie Sadler will return to the NASCAR Busch Series next weekend as the pilot of the “Dollar Tree” Chevrolet in the Funai 250 at Richmond International Raceway. Sadler’s last NASCAR Busch Series start ended with an eleventh place finish in the Spring race at RIR. The race will also be the first major sponsorship in NASCAR for Dollar Tree Stores, Inc., whose.corporate offices are located in nearby Chesapeake, VA. In addition to sponsorship, Dollar Tree is also providing Sadler with added incentive to perform.well. Dollar Tree stores have pledged donations for each lap completed. The donation will be made to The Faison School for Autism in Richmond. If he can complete all 250 laps, that will mean over $30,000.00 for the.Faison School, which is attended by Sadler’s daughter, Halie Dru. “This.is going to be a very special weekend for me”, stated Sadler. “I am honored to carry the Dollar Tree colors at Richmond. They are a great company, and what they are doing for the Faison School means a lot to my family. I.hope to take.Dollar Tree to victory lane.next Friday night.” Gary Philbin, Senior Vice President of Operations for Dollar Tree says everyone at Dollar Tree Stores is equally as excited. “Dollar Tree is thrilled to leverage the “Power of the Dollar” to support Hermie and.The Faison School for Autism. We are excited about Dollar Tree’s participation in one of NASCAR’s most exciting events. This gives us the chance to not only create brand recognition to millions of NASCAR fans, but also support the local communities we serve.”(Dollar Tree Stores PR)(9-4-2003)
