Blaney will pilot the No. 36 Golden Corral Chevrolet in 19 events
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (APRIL 27, 2011) – Golden Corral and Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) are pleased to announce a partnership for the remainder of the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) season. Golden Corral will be the primary sponsor of the No. 36 Chevrolet for 19 of the 28 remaining NSCS races and associate sponsor for the other nine races. Dave Blaney will pilot the No. 36 Golden Corral Chevrolet beginning this weekend at Richmond International Raceway.
Through the remainder of the season, Golden Corral and TBR will run the “Racing for America’s Families” promotion for each race. Each time the No. 36 Golden 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.
· Requires a printed copy of official race results from a newspaper or website.
In addition to the “Kids Eat Free” promotion, Golden Corral will make a $5,000 donation to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) on behalf of its operators.
“We are thrilled to team up with TBR and Dave and extend our already successful partnership,” said Ed Gleich, VP of National Marketing for Golden Corral. “This is a great way to reward families and recognize the Disabled Veterans who have honorably served our country.”
Golden Corral supported TBR in both the Daytona 500 and Aaron’s 499 superspeedway races. Blaney drove the No. 36 Golden Corral Chevrolet to the front in both events, including leading 21 laps at Talladega Superspeedway.
“We are thrilled to have Golden Corral come back and support us for the rest of the season,” explained TBR owner Tommy Baldwin. “Golden Corral is a well-established company, and we are proud they recognized our team’s hard work and performance. We look forward to competing for a top-10 for the ‘Racing for America’s Families’ promotion and will work hard to build successful programs with all of our partners.”

ABOUT TOMMY BALDWIN RACING:
Tommy Baldwin Racing was formed in 2009 by NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Crew Chief Tommy Baldwin. Baldwin utilized a slumping economy to open a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team for a fraction of the cost. The team competed in two full seasons with multiple drivers behind the wheel of the No. 36 Chevrolet and improved in the standings each year.
Based in Mooresville, N.C., TBR will compete in the full NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule in 2011 with NASCAR veteran Dave Blaney piloting the No. 36 Tommy Baldwin Racing Chevrolet. Looking to improve on-track performance and increase the number of races they complete, TBR is still seeking partners to support their racing efforts. TBR’s driver development program, Heinke-Baldwin Racing, will also compete in various NASCAR series in 2011.
