No. 32 Dollar General Chevrolet News and Notes

. Looking to Build on Momentum – Reed Sorenson and the No. 32 Dollar General team had a successful Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway scoring a top-five finish in the 2011 season-opener. The fifth-place finish was Sorenson’s first top-five and career-best finish at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. The finish also catapulted Sorenson to second in the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship point standings.

. Seeing Double with Dollar General – This weekend’s race at Phoenix International Raceway will feature two Dollar General Chevys from the Turner Motorsports stable. Sorenson will be in the usual No. 32 bright yellow Dollar General Chevy, and teammate Ryan Newman will be in a second Dollar General car featuring a reverse yellow on black paint scheme. The start will mark Newman’s first for both Turner Motorsports and Dollar General.

. Sorenson at Phoenix International Raceway – Sorenson and team are excited to head out west to the one-mile Phoenix International Raceway. In seven starts, Sorenson has posted three top-five and five top-10 finishes, with an average start of 11.0 and average finish of 9.9. His career-best was a runner-up finish in 2006 after leading a lap.

. Mile-Track Success – Throughout his Nationwide Series career, Sorenson has excelled at tracks measuring one mile in length. At mile-tracks currently on the NASCAR circuit (Dover International Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Phoenix International Raceway) Sorenson owns 20 starts with eight top-fives and 15 top-10s.

. Start of a new era for Turner Motorsports – The 2011 season marks the start of a new era for Turner Motorsports. The team has expanded in 2011 from a two-truck operation in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) to become the largest stand-alone multi-series team in NASCAR’s top-tier touring series, fielding three entries in the NCWTS and four entries in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS). Three of the team’s regular NNS drivers (Jason Leffler, Reed Sorenson and Justin Allgaier) have been pegged as viable contenders to win the 2011 NNS driver championship.

. This Week’s Impala – Sorenson will pilot TMS-115 in this weekend’s Bashas’ Supermarkets 200 at Phoenix International Raceway. This race will be the maiden voyage for this chassis, as it has yet to see on-track action.

Sorenson on the start of his season and heading to Phoenix

“We had an awesome start to the season for this whole Dollar General team. To come away from Daytona with a top-five and holding the second spot in the championship points is a pretty cool thing. We just need to ride that wave of momentum into Phoenix and keep it going. My Turner teammates and I have done pretty well at these mile tracks and so I’m excited to see what we can do out there. I feel like we proved last weekend that we have all the tools to be successful and now we just need to get that win. It’d be great to get all these Dollar General folks to victory lane.”

Sorenson on having Ryan Newman as a teammate

“I think having Ryan come down and race in the Nationwide Series for Turner Motorsports is a great thing for this team. Not only do you have a guy of his caliber to bounce ideas off of and chat with in the garage, but it’s awesome to have two Dollar General cars on the track at once! He has been successful at Phoenix and I’m hopeful that can translate over to our race this weekend.”
