Tommy Baldwin Racing will compete in
the 59th running of the Daytona 500 with Elliott Sadler behind the wheel of the
No.7 Golden Corral Chevrolet.
Sadler, a 16-year veteran of the
Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, will do double-duty in NASCAR's opening
weekend, competing in both the Cup and Xfinity Series. The Emporia, VA native
and Baldwin have a relationship dating back to their days at Robert Yates
Racing when Baldwin served as crew chief for Sadler.
"This is a great opportunity
for me and everyone affiliated with Tommy Baldwin Racing," said Sadler.
"I love the Daytona 500 and to have Tommy and Golden Corral offer me this
opportunity is awesome. Tommy and I have known each other a long time. We
actually won a qualifying race for the Daytona 500 together back in 2006. We're
going to rekindle some of that magic and work our tails off to get our car in
the race. I know Tommy is putting a lot of effort into this and we're going to
go out and get the best result we possibly can for him and TBR's
partners."
Golden Corral returns for their
seventh season together and will bring back their popular 'Top 10 Kids Eat
Free' promotion. If Elliott Sadler finishes in the top-10 at Daytona, kids 10
and under will eat free at Golden Corral restaurants nationwide on Monday,
February 27th.
"We are excited to be working
with Tommy Baldwin Racing for the seventh season," said Shelley Wolford,
Vice President of National Marketing and Media at Golden Corral. "We will
be cheering Elliott on to qualify at Daytona and then race for a Top 10 Kids
Eat Free finish."
"We look forward to having
Elliott join TBR and Golden Corral for the upcoming Daytona 500," said
team owner Tommy Baldwin. "Elliott has always been a strong restrictor
plate racer which makes this a great opportunity for everyone involved. We know
our fans look forward to the 'Top10 Kids Eat Free' promotion every year so we
want to capitalize on that and finish the Daytona 500 strong."
