Dollar General On Board with Denny Hamlin at Bristol

Hamlin on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway

"Having grown up on short tracks I always look forward to the two stops we make each season at Bristol Motor Speedway. This track is unlike any other short track in the country. The racing is tight and aggressive and each lap is as mentally challenging as the last. You need to know what is going on around you at all times so having a good spotter is key. I look forward to teaming up again with the guys at Braun Racing. In my last race with those guys in Watkins Glen we had a great car but electrical problems ended our day early. Hopefully this weekend we can turn that bad luck around and get the Dollar General stores Camry to Victory Lane."

Equipment Information

The No. 32 Dollar General Racing team will unload chassis # 22 in the Food City 250 Bristol Motor Speedway. This is the same chassis Brian Vickers competed with in Atlanta finishing 22nd and James Buescher raced to a 14th place finish in Kentucky.
