MOORESVILLE, N.C. (May 2, 2012) – Golden Corral will come back on board the Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) No. 36 Chevrolet for the superspeedway races this season. Dave Blaney will drive the No. 36 Golden Corral/Camp Corral Chevrolet this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway as well as at Daytona International Speedway in July and Talladega in October. The Raleigh, N.C., company will once again run the Top-10 Kids Eat Free promotion for all three events.
Golden Corral and Camp Corral will adorn the No. 36 Chevrolet in the Aaron’s 499 this weekend. Golden Corral sponsored the team in 21 events last season. This summer the company will focus on spreading the word about Camp Corral, as well as running the Top-10 Kids Eat Free promotion.
Camp Corral is a free summer camp for children of wounded, disabled or fallen military families. It is launching this summer at nine camps across the country, allowing 1,800 children to attend. Camp Corral provides a fun and developmental experience for kids ages 8 to 15 years old to participate in traditional camp activities, including horseback riding, swimming and fishing, with kids who share similar family situations.
Golden Corral and TBR will run the “Racing for America’s Families” promotion for all three superspeedway races this season. Each time the No. 36 Golden Corral/Camp Corral Chevrolet finishes in the top-10,Golden Corral will offer a one-day “Kids Eat Free” promotion the immediate Monday following the top-10 event. Details of the offer include:
· Free kids buffet with an adult buffet purchase at regular price at participating locations. · Limit of two (2) free kid’s meals per adult buffet purchased.
“We are pleased to be back on the track with the No. 36 team and to share our Camp Corral initiative and Kids Eat Free promotion with race fans,” said Shelley Wolford, Vice President of National Marketing and Media at Golden Corral.
Golden Corral had the opportunity for kids to eat free following Blaney’s third-place finish in last year’s fall event at Talladega Superspeedway. Including the team’s best finish of third, TBR and Blaney led 25 laps in the four superspeedway races last season as well as leading six laps and collecting a 15th-place finish in the 2012 Daytona 500.
“Golden Corral was a great partner for us last year,” explained Tommy Baldwin. “Not only were they a pleasure to work with, but their support got us to where we are today. We are pleased that they decided to have a program with us this year as well. We love racing to feed America’s families and hope we can three times this year.”
Blaney will compete in the Aaron’s 499 Sunday, May 6 at Talladega Superspeedway. The No. 36 Golden Corral/Camp Corral Chevrolet will take the green flag at 1 p.m. EST. ###

About Tommy Baldwin Racing:
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) Crew Chief Tommy Baldwin formed Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) in 2009. Baldwin utilized a declining economy to open a NSCS team with a stringent budget.
