About Mark Martin

Birthdate: Jan. 9, 1959

Resides: Daytona Beach, Fla.

Hometown: Batesville, Ark.

Family: Wife Arlene; son Matt

In 2009, Mark Martin returned to full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup racing with Hendrick Motorsports to drive fast race cars and maybe, just maybe, win a race.

But the NASCAR veteran accomplished much more than that. At the age of 50, he garnered five victories and battled for the Sprint Cup championship, finishing second for the fifth time of his career. Martin’s success drew attention from fans of all ages – many who just wanted to see a Cinderella story come true.

With 2010 on the horizon, Martin is gearing up for another shot at the elusive Sprint Cup championship trophy from behind the wheel of the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet.

Career History:

~ Dirt to Pavement to ASA

Martin began his racing career at the age of 15 in his home state of Arkansas. Competing on dirt tracks, he won in only his third start and that same year – 1974 – won the Arkansas State Championship. In 1976, Martin left his dirt days behind and moved to pavement racetracks.

In 1977, Martin started competing in the American Speed Association (ASA). He earned rookie of the year honors that year and went on to win the championship the following three seasons.

~ Introduction to NASCAR

The 1981 racing season saw Martin move into NASCAR’s elite series, and make five Sprint Cup Series starts in which he earned two pole positions and two top-10 finishes. The following year, in his first full-time schedule, he recorded eight top-10 finishes. Unable to continue funding his own team, Martin was forced to auction off his equipment and race for a variety of owners before returning to ASA competition from 1984-1986. He won his fourth ASA championship in 1986.

The thrill of NASCAR called again in 1987, and Martin agreed to drive a full Nationwide Series schedule. He earned three victories that season, which piqued the interest of car owner Jack Roush. In 1988, Martin and Roush joined forces, forging a working relationship that lasted 19 years.

During his time with Roush, Martin recorded 35 victories and won at all but six tracks on the Sprint Cup circuit. He earned 230 top-five finishes and 361 top-10s, earning a top-10 finish in nearly 50 percent of his starts. He also started from the pole 39 times.

Martin finished second in the Sprint Cup Series standings four times with Roush Fenway Racing, missing his first championship in 1990 by a mere 26 points..

While making a name for himself in Cup competition, Martin was setting records in the Nationwide Series. Though he’s completed just one full season of Nationwide competition – 1987 – Martin holds the all-time series records for most wins (48) and most poles (30). In 2006, motorsports media acknowledged his accomplishments by naming him the greatest Nationwide Series driver of all-time.

~ Cutting Back

Following the 2006 season, Martin committed only to a part-time Sprint Cup schedule. He was ready to spend more time at home in Daytona Beach, Fla., with his wife Arlene and son Matt.

In the two years that followed, Martin competed in 48 Sprint Cup Series races driving the Nos. 01 and 8 Chevrolets. He earned seven top-five finishes and 19 top-10s and also became a mentor for rookie drivers.

In 2007, Martin made his first Nationwide start for Hendrick Motorsports, driving the No. 5 Chevrolet led by crew chief Alan Gustafson. Martin further impressed Rick Hendrick by finishing second in that race at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. Martin went on to earn his first win for Hendrick the following year at Las Vegas Motor Speedway driving the No. 5 JR Motorsports Nationwide entry.

~ Joining Hendrick Motorsports

Hendrick’s admiration grew for Martin’s on-track skills as well as his ability to motivate and inspire his crew members. Hendrick decided to pursue the NASCAR veteran, and in July 2008, Martin announced that he would return to full-time Sprint Cup competition to drive the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports.

Martin did not disappoint in his first season with the powerhouse team and posted one of his career-best seasons with five victories, 14 top-five finishes and 21 top-10s. He also notched a career-best seven pole positions.

In his return to full-time racing, Martin challenged for the 2009 Sprint Cup championship. He opened the Chase as the points leader and maintained the top spot during the first three races of the postseason. During the final race of the season, Martin was the only contender with a mathematical shot to reach Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson, who ultimately scored his fourth straight Cup title.

Martin finished the season with several honors and notably was recognized as NASCAR Illustrated’s Person of the Year presented by Old Spice. He also earned the Sporting News’ Dale Earnhardt Tough Driver award. Martin was named to the All American Team selected by the Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association and was nominated for the SPEED Performer of the Year title.

Late in the 2009 season, Mark Martin announced that he would return full time to Hendrick Motorsports through the 2011 season to drive the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet.

~ Off the Track

A healthy lifestyle advocate, Martin spends much of his free time on his extensive physical fitness regimen. He is a licensed pilot, flying to and from racetracks around the country, and a successful businessman. In addition to other interests, he owns a pair of Arkansas automobile dealerships, located in Melbourne and his hometown of Batesville.

Kelly Bires

Birthdate: August 25, 1984

Hometown: Mauston, Wisconsin

Marital Status: Single

Height: 5' 6"

Weight: 120 lbs.

Resides: Kannapolis, N.C.

First I want to congratulate Kelly Bires and the Hendrickcars.com Chevrolet team. They finished 7th in Saturday’s Nationwide race in Fontana. The team started in 32nd Place – that is great teamwork!! This weekend in Las Vegas, Hendrickcars.com will again be the primary partner on the #88 car.

Kelly Bires became JR Motorsports’ newest talent in September 2009, signing with the company to take over the highly competitive and extremely visible driver’s seat of the No. 88 Chevrolets in 2010. He is the driver that is fully committed to NASCAR.

Bires was not necessarily a discovery by team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., but rather a sought-after up-and-comer that had credentials to boast. He will drive the #88 car in 2010 and 2011. He had already frequented the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series for two years, the latter of which he scored three top-five and 11 top-10 finishes.

Kelly signed with JR Motorsports prior to the end of the 2009 season, and competed in his first race under the JRM banner in the series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the No. 5 Chevrolet.

Like the start of many NASCAR drivers, Kelly began karting at Sugar River Raceway in Brodhead, Wisconsin at age 9.

Achievements:
· 2001 Great Lakes Allison Legacy Series Champion
· 2006 ASA Late Model Series Challenge Division Champion

Awards:
· 2000 Great Lakes Allison Legacy Series Rookie of the Year
· 2002 Dells Motor Speedway Rookie of the Year
· 2006 ASA Late Model Series Rookie of the Year
· Bires ended his promising rookie season with two top-10 finishes.

In 2008, Bires continued to run for JTG, earning one top-five and six top-10 finishes. In 2009, Bires was tapped for a part-time schedule, driving select races for Kevin Harvick, Inc., as well as Braun Racing, and CJM Racing. In four competitive starts, Bires earned two top-five and three top-10 finishes. Additionally, Bires made one ARCA start at Talladega in 2009 where he led 35 laps and finished ninth.

When not racing, Bires enjoys being outdoors snowmobiling and hunting; I would not expect anything less from a native of Wisconsin.

HENDRICKCARS.COM – The No. 88 Chevrolet will feature HendrickCars.com on its hood and quarter panels at Auto Club Speedway this weekend. HendrickCars.com allows consumers to view up to 5,000 cars online from franchised dealerships with manufacturer certified used cars. The website offers up to 60 photos of each vehicle from award winning dealerships, and free CARFAX reports.

For all of the Bires supporters, expect him to drive like a man on a mission when the Nationwide Series arrives in Las Vegas next weekend. Good luck!

Mr. Hendrick is big on acknowledging and rewarding people who do a good job.

He's been a great employee and has proved himself yet again by taking such great care of his customers and making a lot of great deals in 2009!

Let me take a minute to give you a little bit of a background on Mike. He grew up in Miami, Florida and came to Wingate University in 1997. While he was there he met an amazing girl from Union County, fell in love, graduated with a degree in Business/Mathematics and a minor in Finance, and got married. Now he is “stuck” in Union County and loving every bit of it.

His wife’s name is Amy Gordon Yermack. She is a math teacher/coach at Monroe High School. “She is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. My wife is a great friend; I love her very much and appreciate everything she does for me. She is one of the main reasons I am who I am today.”

Mike has been working at Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac since September of 2002. While at work he enjoys seeing customers come in for service work or just stop in to say hey, so they can chat a few minutes and catch up.

He & Amy are actively involved in their church, Church of the Redeemer. They assist with mission trips and local outreaches. Since their church meets at Sun Valley High School, there is always a lot of set-up that needs to be done & Mike is right there faithfully to assist with each room! He enjoys spending time with friends and family. He like playing cards, board games, Playstation 3, golf, yard work & anything else he can do outdoors. He is a huge NFL fan. “I LOVE football!!!!!!!” Go Dolphins!! He is also a University of Miami Hurricanes fan!

Mike and Amy do not have kids yet; so he enjoys spending time with his 14 year old nephew, his wife’s cousins’ children and their friends’ children.

Mike wishes to thank all of his customers during the 2009 year who have allowed him to assist in their vehicle purchases! He has met some great people through this job (both customers and employees) and is very thankful for meeting them all! His customers continually return and ask for him by name!

I would ask that when the time comes for you to purchase your next new or pre-owned vehicle you consider Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac. I truly believe we have more to offer you than any place around - service before, during, and after the sale from people who genuinely care about our customers. Stop by today and see how Mike can help you. With his experience and detail to customer satisfaction you're sure to go home happy in your new vehicle purchased from him! We'll see you soon.

Out With the Old - In With the New...Happy New Year!!

hendrickchevy@gmail.com (Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac) — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:55:00 +0000

Chevrolet: Update, Changes, etc. for the 2010 Model Line

AVALANCHE: The stereo gets a USB port, and 4x4 models get a single-speed transfer case; last year's low-range transfer case is now an extra-cost option.

AVEO: Horsepower is up from 106 to 108, the manual transmission gets higher 4th and 5th gear ratios for better fuel economy, and 2LT models get a standard trunk spoiler. Also new: Wintergreen Metallic paint.

CAMARO: Chevrolet re-introduced its classic sports car for 2010, with a strong emphasis on bang-for-buck: The base-model Camaro offers a 300 horsepower direct-fuel-injected 3.6 liter V6, while the Camaro SS comes with a Corvette-sourced 6.2 liter 426 horsepower V8.

COBALT: The sedan version of the hot-rod Cobalt SS is being discontinued after just one year of production. The SS Coupe lives on, and now gets a sunroof and performance computer as standard. LT models have a new MY LINK package that includes a stereo with USB input jack, Bluetooth, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, OnStar and 16" alloy wheels.

COLORADO: Side-curtain airbags are now standard, and the optional 5.3 liter V8 gets variable valve timing.

CORVETTE: All Corvettes get standard side airbags, revised interior console trim, and optional cross-flag embroidery on the seats. 'Vettes with manual transmissions get launch control and convertibles get a Z06-style trunk spoiler. Z06 buyers can now choose any color in the standard Corvette palette, including Torch Red, which returns for 2010. The new Grand Sport edition replaces the Z51 handling package on the base-model (LS3) Corvette. The Grand Sport combines the 430 hp LS3 engine with specific wheels, tires, suspension tuning, wider fenders, and Z06-size brakes with functional brake cooling ducts. Manual transmission Grand Sports get unique gearing while automatics get a specific rear axle ratio, changes which boost 0-60 times by 0.2 seconds compared to the standard LS3.

EQUNOX: The Equinox is all new for 2010, with an emphasis on sharp styling, a quieter ride, and better fuel economy. Power choices consist of a 2.4 liter direct fuel injected four-cylinder engine or an optional 3.0 liter V6, also with direct injection, and Chevy claims that both engines will run up to 500 miles between fill-ups. Features carried over from the old Equinox include a rear seat that slides 8 inches fore-and-aft, allowing owners to maximize rear-seat legroom or cargo space.

HHR: Early reports that the turbocharged HHR SS would get the axe for 2010 were, I am happy to say, wrong; the SS will be back for 2010. The HHR gets a few new paint colors and a new rear-view camera, but is otherwise unchanged.

IMPALA: The V8-powered Impala SS has been discontinued, leaving the 2.5 and 2.9 liter V6s as the sole engine choices.

MALIBU: The four-cylinder engine is now E85 flex-fuel capable, and mid-level LT models get the LTZ's six-speed automatic transmission as standard.

SILVERADO: All V8s (including the Silverado Hybrid) are now flex-fuel capable, and the 4.8 and 5.3 liter engines get variable valve timing. The 5.3 also gets a six-speed automatic and a revised rear axle ratio. All 1500 models get standard electronic stability control, seat-mounted side airbags, and side-curtain airbags. All stereos get a USB port and the backup camera is available on more models.

SUBURBAN: The 6-liter V8 is now flex-fuel capable. 4x4 models get a single-speed transfer case; a low-range transfer case is now an extra-cost option. Stereos gain a USB input port, and option packages have been revised.

TAHOE: The 5.3 liter V8 is now flex-fuel capable; other changes are similar to the SUBURBAN.

TRAILBLAZER: Discontinued.

TRAVERSE: Premium stereos get a USB input jack.

Cadillac: Update, Changes, etc. for the 2010 Model Line

CTS SEDAN: A 3-liter direct-injection V6 replaces the indirect-injected 3.6 as the base engine; output is 270 hp and 223 lb-ft, and the engine runs on regular fuel. The 304 hp 3.6 liter direct-injected V6 will continue to be offered as an option. New features include a cabin air filtration system, suede-covered steering wheel and shifter, and optional 19" polished aluminum wheels.

CTS SPORT WAGON: Cadillac has announced a station wagon version of the CTS for 2010. Though slightly shorter than the CTS sedan, the CTS Sport Wagon offers 25 feet of cargo space, accessible through a power-operated liftgate. Like the CTS sedan, the CTS Sport Wagon offers several powertrain choices: 3.0 and 3.6 liter direct-injection V6s offering 270 and 304 hp respectively; rear- or all-wheel-drive; and three levels of suspension, ranging from cushy to sporty.

CTS-V SEDAN: The 556 hp terror returns for 2010, now with an optional wood trim interior package.

DTS: Aside from a couple of new paint colors, the DTS is unchanged for 2010.

ESCALADE: The 6.2 liter V8 now gets an Active Fuel Management system that can shut down four cylinders for increased fuel economy. New side thorax airbags and a revised inner door design provide improved side-impact protection. The clock from the Platinum Edition is now standard in all models, the parking brake release has been revised, and a new battery saver shuts off power when the battery runs low from extended accessory use. The Escalade Hybrid gets flex-fuel (E85) capability and a taller rear-axle ratio for better fuel economy.

SRX: Cadillac's small crossover has been redesigned for 2010. Power comes from a 3.0 liter direct-injection 3-liter V6 producing 265 horsepower, and the new SRX features a Haldex all-wheel-drive system that can transfer up to 100% of the power to the front or rear and an electronic limited-slip rear differential that can deliver up to 85% of rear axle power to one wheel, which Cadillac says improves both traction and handling.

STS: The STS gets two new paint colors, but no other changes.

STS-V: Sadly, the 469 hp supercharged hot-rod STS has been discontinued.

XLR/XLR-V: Cadillac's hardtop-convertible Corvette clone has been discontinued for 2010.

Hendrick Chevrolet is a Red Cross partner who selflessly implements projects in support of the community. The funds donated from their scheduled golf tournament will specifically go to the Union County Chapter to help local disaster victims. Last year we assisted 60 local families affected by house fires. Over 19,000 residents of Union and Anson Counties received benefits from our chapter last year.

We so appreciate the efforts of this local business in helping the Red Cross be prepared to Be There When Help Can’t Wait. Subsequently, we appreciate your generosity in donating items for the Hendrick Hurricane Golf Classic.

On behalf of all of the families we serve, thank you for considering a donation to support the Red Cross fundraising efforts and the Heroes Golf Tournament.

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and counsels victims of disasters, provides nearly half of the nation's blood supply, teaches lifesaving skills, and supports military members and their families.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox woos auto enthusiasts

hendrickchevy@gmail.com (Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:35:00 +0000

Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac, the premier Chevrolet dealership near Charlotte is pleased to present the completely redesigned 2010 Chevrolet Equinox in its large showroom that houses new and used Chevrolet vehicles. The new Chevy Equinox has been redesigned inside and out and is the latest addition to GM's line-up of competitive vehicles. The four-door mid-size crossover is available in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels and is offered in two engine choices. Both the engines are mated to standard 6-speed automatic transmission. The aerodynamic design and low-rolling resistance tires which minimize friction help IT to gain maximum mileage.

Pitted against Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape, the all-new Chevrolet Equinox is miles ahead of its competitors with regard to fuel efficiency, safety features and warranty offered. At a starting price of $22,440, it's the most cost-efficient model in its class. With a class-leading rating of 32 mpg, the new Equinox is capable of a highway driving range of up to 600 miles.

The new Equinox also comes with the best coverage in America. The 100,000 mile/5-year (whichever comes first) fully transferable Powertrain Limited Warranty with no deductible is unmatched by its competitors. The power programmable lift gate, along with the one-year free OnStar service and XM Radio helps the 2010 Chevy Equinox stand out in the compact crossover segment.

Jimmy Wins, Pepsi 500 at Fontana, Ca

hendrickchevy@gmail.com (Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:57:00 +0000

Written by Hendrick Motorsports
Monday, 12 October 2009 07:10
FONTANA, Calif. (Oct. 11, 2009) -- Jimmie Johnson captured the points lead in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings after pacing a race-high 126 laps and winning Sunday's Pepsi 500 at Auto Club Speedway.
But getting to Victory Lane wasn't easy for the defending race winner. Johnson had to outrun teammates Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin on a final restart that occurred with three laps to go. Although his specially-painted No. 48 Lowe's/Jimmie Johnson Foundation Chevrolet handled better on the long runs, Johnson managed to pull away in the short time frame.
"What an awesome car, what an awesome day," said Johnson, who owns a 12-point advantage in the standings. "Those cautions at the end really had me nervous. I didn't know what to do on those restarts. I'm glad I got a good start."
Gordon gave Johnson the most competition during the final restarts and led twice for six laps before crossing the finish line second. This is the eighth time this season Gordon has taken runner-up honors and the third time he has followed a teammate for the checkered flag.
"We were just trying to make it interesting because nobody else seemed to be able to do that for the (No.) 48," said Gordon, who improves two spots to fifth in the standings. "We certainly couldn't on that last run. It was a great day for the DuPont/Pepsi Chevrolet. We fought hard all day to put ourselves in that position. To come home second today is definitely something we're proud of."
Martin started ninth and led five laps early in the race. Previously the points leader, Martin now ranks second in the standings after crossing the finish line fourth behind Johnson. This is Martn's 12th top-five finish of the season.
"I'm real proud of our Kellogg's/CARQUEST Chevrolet and our team," Martin said. "Man, these guys are so awesome. They brought me all weekend a great race car, great job, great adjustments, and we made progress with the racecar. There was a time when we could go out front. We were right there. I'm just proud. I couldn't be more thrilled to be driving that (No.) 5 car."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. climbed from his 37th starting spot and spent most of the day running in the top 10. But misfortune struck with roughly 50 laps to go when Earnhardt's No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevy was collected in an eight-car accident in Turn 1. After a red-flag period, the No. 88 team doctored the Chevy and sent Earnhardt back to the track. He finished 25th.
"We are doing whatever we can to stay positive," Earnhardt said. "We had a top 10 car today and it's unfortunate that a lot of good cars got tore up there at the end."

Together: The Hendrick Motorsports Story

hendrickchevy@gmail.com (Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:59:00 +0000

“When we started the team back in 1984, our pie in the sky was to eventually, someday win a race,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. “Any success beyond that has been because of the folks who have worked so hard and supported us over our 25 years. We’ve been extremely fortunate, and I hope the film is something they will be proud of.” Please visit http://www.refresheverything.com/hendrick to see a preview of the documentary. To preorder your personal copy of this feature go to http://www.hendrickcars.com/ .

Time and time again, we as Hendrick employees have heard Mr. Hendrick say in print and in word that his people make his organizations as strong as they are. If one can understand a true and mutually appreciative relationship all may be able to comprehend the gratitude we feel for our “Mr. H.”

The story of the creation of Hendrick Motorsports is much talked about in the Charlotte area but often times lacks the authenticity it deserves. NASCAR Media Group has found it time to document the beginnings of the racing legacy with exclusive interviews, never-before seen footage, rare family insight and details of the critical events that shaped the organization.

NASCAR Media Group’ documentary style film will show on ABC Sunday October 11, 2009 at 1:30 pm prior to the running of the Pepsi 500 race in Fontana California.

This event, narrated by acclaimed actor Mr. Tom Cruise, will prove to be an emotional and resonating presentation emphasizing the ability to achieve amazing things.
As employees in Hendrick family we look forward to getting an added view into the early part of the Hendrick success and hope that you will join us in this special event.

http://www.hendrickcars.com/ and http://www.hendrickmotorsports.com/ have partnered together to offer a incredible Champion's Weekend at Homestead. On October 10, 2009 visit http://www.hendrickcars.com/ and fill out the sweepstakes entry form. Sweepstakes winner will be announced on November 10,2009.

The 2010 Cadillac SRX arrives at Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac!

hendrickchevy@gmail.com (Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:32:00 +0000

We, at Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac the New Cadillac, Chevrolet and Used Car Dealer near Charlotte, are happy to introduce the 2010 Cadillac SRX to our Cadillac customers. The 2010 SRX is a five-passenger mid-luxury crossover vehicle with a completely new deign. The new SRX is powered by a new, fuel-efficient direct injected 3.0L V-6 engine that delivers an estimated 260 horsepower and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission thereby achieving an estimated 10-15 per cent fuel economy improvement.

We feel that the top reasons for taking the 2010 Cadillac SRX home would be its attractive styling, the plush, well-designed interiors, the powerful base engine and reliable brakes.

The look of 2010 Cadillac SRX is certainly much better than the 2009 model. The front portion of the SRX has vertically stacked headlights and a sleek chrome grille. A strong line beginning at the trailing edge of the front wheel culminates at the taillight lens and this helps the vehicle aerodynamically by breaking the airflow from the body.

Inside the 2010 SRX, the hand-stitched covers on the instrument panel and ambient lighting make for great quality interiors. The controls for climate and audio systems and the optional NAV system set in the center of the instrument panel are presented aesthetically. An illuminated logo glows through the front door sill plates when the door is open thus adding to the coolness factor.

The 2010 SRX features numerous electronic gadgets and systems. Highlights include adaptive forward lighting that swivels the headlamps in sync with vehicle steering; a power liftgate with adjustable height setting; an integrated hard disc drive for audio storage; and a dual-screen video system for rear entertainment. Bluetooth compatibility and OnStar's turn-by-turn navigation service are standard features.

The 2010 Cadillac SRX carries the expected safety equipment in a premium crossover like standard head-curtain side airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags and safety belts.

Our trip to Hendrick Chevrolet to Pick up our new 2010 CAMARO

By Shane and Donavon Wagner

Since the day the concept was released, I, like many other Camaro enthusiasts, vowed to someday have one. I have a long history of working with first generation Camaros and my dad owns a 1969. This car is part of our gene pool. So here is a small story of our Camaro and our trip to get it.
I remember spec’ing out the car online with my dad and just going all out on the options like a couple kids in a candy store. As soon as GM annouced they were taking orders we got one of the first allotments from Hendrick Chevrolet in Monroe. Not only are the Hendrick dealerships legendary, but they were one of the few charging MSRP and not price gouging. In addition, these are the guys that paid a few hundred thousand dollars to have the very first and second production Camaros, so we knew they were serious about this car and obviously performance with their involvement in racing.
I called almost every week or two getting updates from Bill Boles, their veteran sales manager, who also put a tracker from GM on my car that kept them updated to every single step of the way. I could tell by talking with Bill that he was excited about the Camaro as much as I was and didn’t get annoyed with me freakishly calling all the time. Unfortunately, I think my car was held up for almost every single possible quality control check there was including the 6-speed manual hold. So after a few months waiting, anticipation was at its capacity and finally Bill gave me the all too sweet phone call, “Well, I’m looking at a orange Camaro here that has your name on it..”
I currently live in Henderson, NV and my dad lives in my home town Bismarck, ND. From day one we said we would fly into NC and drive this machine back to ND and then down to NV. After all these cars are meant to drive! It would be a great chance to hang out with my Dad doing something we both love. So the day we got the call, we booked our flights and got out there within a day and that’s when we found out how great a choice it was to get this car from Hendrick Chevrolet.
Upon arrival at the airport, I got a call from Dwight, Hendrick’s driver, saying he was a white haired good ol’ boy holding a sign of our Camaro. Sure enough there he was with a big sign with our name and a color picture of our Camaro. That was pretty neat. So from there he drove us the 35-40 minutes to the dealership from the Charolette airport, but it only seemed like a few minutes with the great conversations. Once we got there, we met up with Bill and not long after some of the other guys couldn’t help but sneek into the office and join in on the excitement of the sale and asking us about what we plan on doing with the car and if they could help us with directions, etc. We had Tom VanEtten, the internet manager, taking pictures of us with the car and printing them out for us with script such as “The day finally arrived, Dad and me picking up the new Camaro.” He even gave us plastic protetive sleeves to put the pictures into. My dad asked if they happened to have a hat with the Hendrick logo on them and they had two left up in the locked room, and they were ours. They also gave us a handful of Camaro broshures to share with my brothers and friends. Katie Slevin, the finance manager, was so efficient I barely warmed up my seat before we where done getting all the paperwork filled out. Then Don Flint, another sales manager, jumped in the Camaro with me to get me all set up with Onstar and the turn by turn directions which made this trip much easier. He also called us along the way to make sure everything was working alright. I have never felt so welcomed and appreciated at a place of business in my life. These guys are a class act and are as passionate about the cars as their customers. Unfortunately we had a long drive ahead of us so we didn’t have any time to hang out which I would have liked to do.
So after getting up at 4am to fly almost six hours from Las Vegas to Charolette we got on the road that evening and made it about 50 miles from Chicago. The addrenaline of being in this car was enough to keep us awake that long which at that point we had been up for about 27 hours straight. We crashed at a sleezy truck stop hotel for three hours and got back on the road. We were trying to get back to Bismarck for my two brother’s softball party they were having since they took first this season and wanted to show off the car to all the friends and family present. So after another 15 hours of driving we finally made it home to a crowd of family and friends waiting for us at 1:30am as we pulled into the driveway.
After my dad gets a chance to play with it for a few weeks he and my mom are making another road trip down to Vegas. This would put the car through 15 states and over 3,000 miles on the odometer. I currently work as engineering manager for Drake Automotive group and Shelby Performance Parts, so I will be the black sheep in the world of Ford’s at work. I plan on using the car as a test mule for a bunch of new performance products and showing them why the Camaro is still the king of muscle cars. Luckily every one already knows my first love is GM.
This trip was truly a great bonding experience with my dad that I will never forget and I look forward to creating many more memories with this car.

The New General Motors Company Launches Today

New GM to Focus on Customers, Cars and Culture

GM gets back to the business of building great cars and trucks, serving customer needs
New company created from GM's strongest assets
Four core brands backed by the nation's largest and strongest dealer network
Streamlined organization on a global basis for faster decisions, sharper focus on the customer
Commitment to open communications

DETROIT - The new General Motors Company began operations today with a new corporate structure, a stronger balance sheet, and a renewed commitment to make the customer the center of everything the new GM does.
"Today marks a new beginning for General Motors, one that will allow every employee, including me, to get back to the business of designing, building and selling great cars and trucks and serving the needs of our customers," said Fritz Henderson, president and CEO. "We are deeply appreciative for the support we have received during this historic transformation, and we will work hard to repay this trust by building a successful new General Motors."
Created from the old GM's strongest operations in an asset sale approved by the bankruptcy court on July 5, the new GM is built on:

Four core brands in the U.S. and the largest, strongest dealer network in the country,
A fresh lineup of Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC cars, trucks and crossovers, each with leading-edge designs and technologies that matter to both consumers and the environment,
A competitive cost structure, a cleaner balance sheet, and a stronger liquidity position that will enable GM to invest in new products, key technologies, and its future,
A winning culture focused on customers and products.
"One thing we have learned from the last 100 days is that GM can move quickly and decisively," said Henderson. "Today, we take the intensity, decisiveness and speed of the past several months and transfer it from the triage of the bankruptcy process to the creation and operation of a new General Motors.

"Business as usual is over at GM," said Henderson. "Today starts a new era for General Motors and everyone associated with the company. Going forward, the new General Motors is fully committed to listening to customers, responding to consumer and market trends, and empowering the people closest to the customer to make the decisions. Our goal is to build more of the cars, trucks, and crossovers that customers want, and to get them to market faster than ever before."
