In 2010, Reed Sorenson returns to Braun Racing behind the wheel of both their #32 Dollar General Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series entries. He will pilot the Cup Series car for five events [Daytona/dnq, Texas, Chicago, Indy and Charlotte in Oct) and the Nationwide Series car for 23 races, sharing that seat with Brian Vickers The Dollar General team will be required to qualify in on speed for the Samsung Mobile 500. Sundays race would mark the first NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSCS) race for Braun Racing sponsor, Dollar General. Dollar General, which also sponsors the teams #32 entry in the Nationwide Series (NNS), will serve as primary sponsor for the #32 Toyota. Sorenson has made eight NSCS starts at Texas, logging his best finish in April, 2006 when he started and finished 13th. His best start of ninth at the 1.5-mile track was in November, 2008. He also has led for two laps. Braun Racing is supporting sponsor, Dollar General, and its partnership with Autism Speaks to increase the awareness of autism and raise funds for autism research and advocacy by displaying the Autism Speaks logo on each of the four Braun Racing entries in the NASCAR Nationwide Series during the month of April. This campaign is extra-special to the Braun Racing family as #32 crew chief Trent Owens son was diagnosed with autism last year. Trent Owens on his double duty weekend at Texas: ‘It will be a busy weekend, for sure, at Texas, but we do have some added advantages over our experience at Daytona. First, Reed will be driving both the Cup and Nationwide cars, so being able to work with one driver will definitely be a plus. Also, we will have a traditional qualifying session on Friday. We can focus on our set up and speed for a solid qualifying lap during the Friday practice and then turn our attention to the race set up for Saturdays practices.’Â(Braun Racing)(4-16-2010)
