Braun Racing secures lineup for its No. 32 Toyota

MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Braun Racing is pleased to announce that David Reutimann, Reed Sorenson and Brian Ickler will join Brian Vickers behind the wheel of the No. 32 Toyota Camry for the remainder of the 2009 Nationwide Series season.

Reutimann, a familiar face in the Nationwide Series since 2002, will pilot the No. 32 Camry at O'Reilly Raceway Park in July, Bristol in August, Richmond and Dover in September and Homestead in November. In addition to his previously scheduled races in Braun Racing's No. 10 Toyota, Reutimann will drive the No. 10 Camry in this Friday's Dollar General 300 at Chicagoland Speedway. He will also drive the No. 10 Toyota in the Dollar General 300 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in October.

In 105 cumulative series starts, the Zephyrhills, Fla., native has collected one win (Memphis Motorsports Park, 2007), 15 top-five and 36 top-10 finishes. Reutimann has also claimed three pole awards, including the 2008 pole position at Chicagoland Speedway. Currently, Reutimann drives full time for Michael Waltrip Racing in the Sprint Cup Series, piloting the No. 00 Toyota.

Sorenson, 23, also has built an impressive winning record. Making his Nationwide Series debut in 2004, he has spent the last four years racing in the Sprint Cup Series. This season, he is driving the famous No. 43 for Richard Petty Motorsports. At Gateway International Raceway in July, Sorenson will take the wheel of the No. 32 Camry, with hopes of duplicating his victories in 2005 and 2007. Sorenson also won at Nashville Superspeedway in 2005 and collected two pole positions.

Up-and-coming driver Ickler is no stranger to Iowa Speedway. He will make his second Nationwide Series start from the seat of the No. 32 Toyota in August. The 22-year-old San Diego native won the East-West Camping World Series Showdown there in 2008 driving for a team that he owned and operated. That same season, he collected an impressive three wins, three top-five and five top-10 finishes. He finished second to Kyle Busch at Iowa Speedway in an East Series car in 2009.

He has also logged some impressive statistics in the 2009 Camping World Truck Series season. In only seven career starts, he has two top-five, two top-10 finishes and two pole positions. Ickler will also drive the No. 32 at Memphis Motorsports Park in October.

"I am very pleased to announce this group of drivers for the remainder of our 2009 season," said Braun Racing owner, Todd Braun. "We have a strong group of veterans and talented up-and-comers to complete the scheduled races in the No. 32 Dollar General Toyota. I feel that with this lineup and Brian Vickers, we can position ourselves for a solid finish this season."

Dollar General chairman and CEO Rick Dreiling echoed Braun's sentiments and looks forward to much success for the Dollar General Racing team in the future.

"Dollar General extends a warm welcome to Reutimann, Sorenson and Ickler to the No. 32 Dollar General Toyota," Dreiling said. "They have the support of our family of employees who are looking forward to watching and rooting them to victory."

The driver for the No. 32 Toyota for the August race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and the November event at Phoenix will be announced at a later date.
